Replacing Texture Packs with Resource Packs
I think that, since texture packs are now obsolete, shouldn't we replace the Texture pack link with Resource packs? It would make sense since there is no real need for Texture packs anymore. 22:16, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

No. Texture packs can still be used for 1.5.2, which is in the launcher, so it really isn't obsolete and shouldn't be redirected to resource packs. -- 01:50, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

You cannot place a zombie spawner without mods or hacks.

Curse staff and 'celebrities' aren't considered important, and Dinnerbone is only listed as being in the 'meet and greet' event, not speaking on any of the panels.

News: Minecraft 1.6.4
Hello,

Minecraft Version 1.6.4 has been released, I suggest adding it to the news section:
 * September 19, 2013 - Minecraft 1.6.4 released.

Also, I'm an admin on the dutch wiki, and I think that you can trust all admins on all the language wiki's, otherwise they didn't become admins. Could we get some sort of rank that we can edit pages like protected templates? I know that it's a lot I'm asking for, and I understand if this wouldn't be possible, but sometimes it is really annoying you have to ask an english admin to add a simple language link.

--  undefined NL Admin  11:11, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Updates And Dragon eggs
The Ender Dragon egg seems useless for now, but have you heard? Jeb has come up with a red dragon hatching from the egg and follows you around! And you MIGHT be able to die it colors with dies. Jeb was not as famous as Notch, but now, he will get a LOT more credit. Jeb is responsible for this. This new feature will be in update 1.8.0! Sorry that it will take that long to add that! But still this is very amazing! And 1.7.0 is now about to be here in 2013! This update is the next right after 1.6.2, it adds new biomes, and flowers I heard. And this might not be that much! And do you have a texture creator app? Well if you see a dragon texture (just regular dragon) you will notice there is no regular "dragon" in minecraft yet! That is a sign of the new update in store! And its gray! Not red! So that means it could be died colors as well! It could be, or it could not! Lets find out soon...

I have been able to see sound players on the Minecraft Wiki, but recently it has stopped working. An example is the page

When I select to get a player I get told that Chrome has native support for it.
