Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard

The "Java Edition Infdev 20100617-1" page is a mislabeling.
The page Java Edition Infdev 20100617-1 [ https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Java_Edition_Infdev_20100617-1 ] is a mislabeling. The version is actually 20100617-2. A 20100617-1 never existed. Clicking on the download link brings you to 20100617-2. This is likely an oversight when the page was created. So this page needs to be renamed to 20100617-2. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by ThreeLui (talk • contribs) at 7:33, 28 November 2019 (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Revert Vandals

 * Actually mind reading the editor notes? The update was NOT focused on bug fixes; the main focus was the bees, and all their related objects. You reverted a removed edit 3 times, without any actual reasoning, and started threatening. If you actually look at who reverted the edits, you'd know you're literally fighting against 1 wiki admin and 2 of the most active editors on this wiki... FVbico (talk) 17:46, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

 * You really think, you with only a habdful of edits, know better than an admin and 2 of the most active users on the wiki? Mojang has made it clear the focus was bees, not bugs. You're jumping to conclusions based on the sice of the fix list, while they're about the same size for every update. FVbico (talk) 11:06, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Launcher beta versions not updated fast enough
I've seen some admin or something say Minecraft versions usually update on the main page within one day, however I don't see this with the beta versions of the launcher. I understand that this could be because you first manually have to change version and then within a day the page updates. If this is the case, automatically updating the versions would be good. Anyway, today the latest beta version is Launcher 2.1.1083x. 185.253.97.145 16:54, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

youtu.be url blocked by spam filter

 * This restriction is pulled from Wikimedia's spam blacklist, where it is needed to avoid bypassing blacklists on Wikimedia wikis. As such, the youtu.be shortcut will remain in that list, as has been stated repeatedly. Removing the dependency on that blacklist is not a good idea as many entries there are not wanted. However, it should be possible to add youtu.be to the local whitelist, but I'm not sure it's an appropriate course of action. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 18:39, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Twitch movement did not transfer account
I found out that Gamepedia now uses Twitch, which when I tried to log in on my old account, it does not allow me to do that and instead logs me into this new account that is linked to Twitch, which is linked on the forums. What should I do to merge these two accounts into one, or even get rid of this to use the other one that I used before?

New Category: Tables

 * I'm not necessarily opposed, but I would like to note that we already have Category:Utility blocks which serves a similar purpose but is slightly broader. I presume what would define pages that belong in this category are blocks that allow players to store or modify items (which is true for all the blocks you listed), but I'm not sure "Tables" would be the most accurate name for such a category. I would definitely be open to other opinions.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 18:30, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Automatic filter blocks articles in other languages
I have created a page for the Swedish translation project, but when I tried to publish it, the automatic filter blocked it because it contained "an unwanted word". The translation isn't completely finished, so either the "unwanted word" comes from the original English version, or the filter simply blocks normal Swedish words. It would be nice if some changes to the filter could be made; perhaps it could recognize the language the page is written in and adapt the "unwanted word" list to that specific language?

 * As you probably guessed, your edit was caught in a filter that is designed to prevent vandalism but occasionally runs into false positives. Since your edit was obviously constructive, I've gone ahead and created the page for you. The thing about the filter is a lot of the words listed there are not only blocked if they stand on their own but also if they're contained within another word, which is often the source of false positives with this filter. Us admins, when we add new words to the filter, consider whether that word might be used inside of another English word and if so add it to a different category of the filter (where only standalone words are detected and blocked) or just not at all; however, it's difficult to check to see if that word could potentially be used in any foreign language. I'm guessing a Swedish word in any part of the article happened to contain a disallowed word in the filter which caused your edit to be blocked. Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to determine what exact word it was that triggered it except by reading every word of the article and comparing it manually (which I'm definitely too lazy to do right now :P). However, it might not be a bad idea in general to make the filter not act at all on translation pages, as I doubt they're likely to be vandalized frequently (since they're buried so deep into the wiki). Sorry for the trouble and thanks for letting us know about this.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:28, 23 March 2020 (UTC)--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:28, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Main Page Demo Link
The word "demo" on the main page links to the Java Edition demo, but shouldn't it link to the wiki article instead? Java is not the only edition with demo, and there's an article on this wiki, so there really is no reason to link to minecraft.net instead of the wiki page.－77.247.178.183 15:33, 27 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Do you mean the demo link in the second paragraph of "About Minecraft"? The context of that paragraph should be enough to suggest that the Java Edition demo is what's being referred to, but I agree that linking the wiki article would be better (though honestly that entire intro needs cleaning up). – Sonicwave talk  16:29, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Consecutive disruptive edits on Java Edition version history/Development versions
Anonymous user(s) have been repeatedly adding 1.16 pre1 to the Java Edition version history/Development versions page, despite several reversions and requests to stop. Latest is Cultist O (talk) 01:42, 4 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I blocked them for 2 months, since they have disruptively edited before (and been blocked for it). I have no objections if another admin wants to protect the page, though I suspect all of the disruption is from the same user using multiple IPs. – Sonicwave talk  01:48, 4 April 2020 (UTC)


 * As you can see here, this vandal has gone at it for quite some time. There's not much way to stop them beside just continuously blocking them when they appear (since it's from a variety of IPs, not just all in one range) unless we protect all new version pages (or any page they edit at all), which I doubt would be worth it. For this particular case, they haven't targeted the Development versions page much in general recently but in the last few days they have vandalized it quite frequently. Since there have also been a few constructive edits from IPs in that time, though, I'd say wait for now but protect for a week or so if they vandalize one more time.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 02:38, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Why is editing through tor blocked?

Please temporarily suspend a user to get him to stop mass-editing pages without agreement
This user is mass-editing pages: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/UserProfile:User-12316399 Apparently this has gone on for months already. One of the most common things is creating a nonsensical "occurrence" section to block pages that is pretty arbitrarily separated from the "obtaining" section. The person was asked to take note of a discussion about this here: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/User_talk:User-12316399#Block_articles_and_section_structure In that discussion there was definitely no agreement in favour of this edit, quite the opposite, almost everyone was clearly against it. Yet the person keeps doing it. I posted on the talk page, the user page (a feature called "comment", no idea if that notifies the person) and on that discussion, yet, the person keeps doing these mass-edits without even replying. I have also reverted a bunch of these edits, but that also didn't seem to give the person a hint. They didn't immediately revert that again, but sometimes came back to the same page later and did the same edit again. I suspect that this user has removed all relevant pages from their watchlist, disabled mails or something like that. So I ask you to please disable edits on articles for that person until they finally notice something and stop these edits until the discussion is done (or ideally just stop completely, but that's just my opinion). Fabian42 (talk) 19:18, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * You seem to be operating on the false principle that not replying to something automatically means that said thing hasn't been acknowledged at all. I also hadn't changed a single page back to the Occurrence layout since you posted on my talk page, so the fact that you've just immediately jumped from a talk page post to advocating for a full-out block is outright excessive and a borderline Rule #3 violation. Your assertion on an Occurrence section being nonsensical and arbitrary is also itself nonsensical, and there had been no opposition to the inclusion of the section whatsoever since my reply on the talk page five months ago, and nobody has opposed the subsequent inclusion of it on articles except for yourself. Please at least read into and participate in the relevant conversations before advocating for a user to have their editing rights revoked simply because you don't like the changes that they make. - User-12316399 (talk) 17:40, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree that it was irresponsible to go about these mass changes without a consensus. You can't just ignore valid opposition just because you personally disagree with it and then say that because a few people supported it on Discord it can be added to the style guide. However, he hasn't made any further changes regarding this topic since you warned him on his talk page so I doubt a block would be necessary at this point. I've reverted the changes made to the style guide without consensus, but I'm not sure what to do with the actual pages themselves; should we take the time to revert each one or wait some more to see how the discussion plays out?--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 19:08, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

 * (edit conflict) We generally use page titles that comply with the current version, rather than the development version, so we do have such a page, it's just located at Zombie Pigman. We also have zombified piglin redirecting to it, which is the new name of the mob in 1.16.

Lodestone Article Duplicate Information
I noticed on this article that the breaking and block loot sections have exactly the same text. However, I cannot change the text because I'm not an admin.

Can someone fix that for me? Plaba123 (talk) 01:21, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * You don't need to be an admin to edit Lodestone, the page is not protected at all. Also, I saw kind of an incosistency across some block pages in terms of the style, so Lodestone is not the only page listing such info double. Elite hog (talk) 13:35, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I've removed the duplicate section, thanks for reporting. There was a proposal to rearrange the obtaining and usage sections in a different way, which included changing the layout of the breaking section. Although this received very little support, this was carried out anyways, although I don't quite understand why it would cause the creation of two breaking sections. See this for more detail.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:47, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Also,, the reason you were not able to remove the section is because you were caught in an abuse filter.

Request ban User-12316399
This user not only makes a lot of useless contributions for a long time, but also arbitrarily changes the format of an item, adds a bloated loot table, and affects the editing habits of wiki. I personally say I can't stand his behavior and suggest that it be banned. -- HlDorəmonWf (TAlK · C0NTR1BZ) 13:38, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * While there have indeed been a few times in the past where I've considered a short block on him to prevent disruption, I personally don't think a block would be necessary at this point. AFAIK the only unconstructive edits he's been warned recently about are changing the structure of the obtaining and usage sections of feature pages (to add the "bloated loot table" you say) and the style guide accordingly when there's a consensus against doing so, and "bitey" edit summaries and discussion posts (i.e. being rude / borderline attacking another editor for no reason). Both of these things I haven't seen him do at all since he's been warned, so I don't think we need to escalate to a block yet, especially given how most of his tedious maintenance edits are indeed productive.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 13:56, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * On the other hand, looking at this, rude edit summaries appear to still be a problem. A new user who had never edited before made a good faith edit to an article which they thought was constructive, but because it was false, he reverts them just a few minutes later with a very sarcastic and bitey summary. Like I've said he's been warned many times about this in the past, so I'm not sure the best way to control this without a block. It's not just about blatant personal attacks; it's also about just generally sarcastic or rude edit summaries that are directed at specific editors making this an unpleasant environment, especially when it involves new editors like here.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:02, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

 * An edit summary being "mean" alone isn't a valid reason to use revision delete, but I have already deleted the ones that are actually personal attacks (which to be fair most of them haven't been pure attacks, but rather rude, sarcastic, and bitey summaries, which although are concerning, especially against newer good faith editors, not a valid reason to hide the summary completely).--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 14:13, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

If you're going to make so bold of a claim as 1.16 "includes other updates that had been released in early April" (which I don't understand what that means; I've never heard of anything being released in early April and even if that were the case how is that related to the upcoming 1.16 version?), you'll need an official Mojang source. Regarding not being allowed to add the links, your edits were caught in a filter designed to prevent vandalism/spam but occasionally runs into false positives.

 * There's not currently any page related to the definition I know of Programmer Art (which is basically sketches of a program a programmer creates to test functionality but not to perfect in any way) and since it's not necessarily Minecraft-specific nor particularly important to Minecraft I doubt there would be a need to create one.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 15:58, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I mean the pre-Texture Update resource pack, bundled with every version since that update. 67.169.100.106 16:08, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Well, the Texture Update page lists all the old textures as well. Is Programmer Art the official name of the textures before the update or at least a common alternate name? I don't think it would be, but I could certainly be wrong.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:11, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Check the resource pack menu in 1.14 and newer. It shows "Default" and "Programmer Art", which is described as "The classic look of Minecraft". 67.169.100.106 16:15, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I see, thanks. I probably should've done my research before making assumptions. :D


 * We don't have a page specifically for the old textures or resource pack, but since it's mentioned in Texture Update I've gone ahead and redirected it there, as well as the "Classic Textures" that it's called in Bedrock Edition. The redirects could be a bit confusing considering the texture update is actually their exact opposite, but of all the pages we have it's probably the most appropiate page to redirect it to (and I don't see a reason to split the old textures into their own page).--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:21, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Are schematics not rendering correctly?
Trying to view a page that uses schematics (https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Help:Schematic, https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Mechanics/Redstone/Memory_circuit) the schematics are mostly empty, except for text (https://imgur.com/a/SZJovpZ). I wonder if it is the uncaught exception: Object error in the console. I've tested this in Chrome / Firefox / Edge Classic / IE on Windows 10, and tried disabling uBlock and my pihole.

Seems as of March 15 it was working (https://web.archive.org/web/20200315040615/https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Help:Schematic), there is no object error in the console when I load archive.org's version.

page missing content
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Mechanics/Redstone/Clock_circuit#Multi-item_hopper_clock is missing a lot of content that was once there. not sure if this is related to issue 31 "schematics missing" or if it is some one deleting content in the page its self but almost every schematic is missing from this page. that all show blank white boxes with only text labels. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 73.144.7.29 (talk) at 04:05, 24 April 2020 (UTC).

 * Thanks for reporting. I've been trying to figure out why this is the case and I'm honestly clueless. This doesn't happen for any other snapshots and I can't figure out why this would be different. I'm gonna ask on Discord and see if anybody can enlighten me there. Also, please don't beg people to fix something "right now"; we're all volunteers so we can't be expected to fix anything instantly.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 16:08, 24 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Not really sure what happened, it seems the sortkey in the category got corrupted? I just removed it from the category and readded it and it seems to work fine now. – KnightMiner  · (t) 05:37, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Ah I see, you meant the Pillager Outpost/Structure page. You had an unclosed table; if you have a {|, starting a table, you gotta eventually close it with a |}. Fixed now.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 17:40, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Quarts block in blocks template
hi! im your friendly neighbourhood Eevee! (That's a Pokémon btw) I (who is a VERY cute Pokemon) noticed in the Blocks template in the Mineral Blocks section it shows the chiselled and pillar quarts but not smooth or brick quarts

is there a reason for this thing the cutest thing ever (that's me btw) noticed this? thanks! 31.50.129.9 18:12, 24 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Fixed. Actually, the Smooth Quartz was on there before but in a different section from the rest, so I've moved it, while the Brick Quartz was never there at all. Thanks for reporting.--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 18:46, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

heads up display link missing
I think you need to create the link heads up display should redirect to Heads Up Display as it was missing.

Is there already an article for uncraftable items or not?
I don't know if this was the right place to put this post but, I was trying to find a list of all uncraftable items. If there is one already, you can link it.

item misppelling
Hi! I'm your friendly neighbourhood Eevee!

I noticed in the Items page the Behavior section is spelt wrong, instead of being spelt it's proper formal way, Behaviour, it is incorrectly spelt Behavior, as you may or may not see there is a clear lack of u in-between the letters o and r

Protect Bedrock Edition 1.16.0
Lots of anonymous users predicting the release date without a source. This is probably happening on the Java page as well, but I have not been following the edit history as closely. The BlobsPaper.png 17:55, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes they are also doing it on the Java page I looked at the history. 173.88.216.217 17:58, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Protected the BE page from IP edits for 3 months; that should be enough. The JE page has people with an account doing that, and preventing accounts from editing results in losing lots of constructive edits on that page. FVbico (talk) 18:09, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Changing imagesize to 160px on Module:Infobox
Since every item render is in 160x160px, the imagesize should be updated to 160px, otherwise the images look blurry.

How about adding a page about Tektopia?
TekTopia is a mod made by the youtuber TangoTek. It currently works for Java 1.12 but Tango plans on updating it to 1.14. It is a villager overhaul. Could you please link to it in "mods" and create that page?
