Talk:Minecraft

Proofreading
The article is greatly lacking in substantive/valuable information, but I went through and fixed several grammar and spelling related blunders to improve the formality of the article. Authors should consider proofreading in the future. Cholo71796 04:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Remove Redirect
This page should be an article, not a redirect to the Main Page. It should explain the concepts of Minecraft and a brief history. Something like Minecraft, although we will have to rewrite it to fit this Wiki.

If you need to see how we should write this article, look here:
 * http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape
 * http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_warcraft
 * http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Fortress

So as you can see, it's mostly what our Gameplay article was about, until now that it has became more about the Game Modes. The Gameplay article should redirect to here. --Scykei 06:03, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

It's a redirect to the main page because the main page contains all that description of the game. "Minecraft is a sandbox construction game, inspired by Infiniminer" and so forth. There is a redundancy in offering the information on both -- one version could lag. If there were enough information that we wanted to provide that it would not fit on the main page, then I would agree it would be appropriate to split the information off here, leaving only a summary there. --Eskay 00:07, 29 November 2010 (CST)


 * Don't know if it's too early but maybe it should have some sort of fancy redesign? :P Have all sorts of polls, did you knows, featured articles/images, oh my! :D --Scykei 00:21, 29 November 2010 (CST)
 * I would agrepooped the minecraft article is a stub. It would be much better to have a better in depth history of the game with pictures and such. Maybe a separate page for the History of Minecraft should be considered. Also talking a little bit of game play, and goals (or the joys of not having goals) in Minecraft. The Up coming versions for Android, iOS, and Xbox, Multilayer game play, and Other aspects of the game and the community surrounding this game would give someone unfamiliar a glimpse of what a unique and great game this is. --Tgpqaz 21:08, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a fine idea to me. Write it! --Eskay 03:37, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Noticed A lot of Aritles and other things dont refer back here, also, maybe there should be a seperate Minecraft (Computer) to reflect the platform expanition of the game, while this one would sum up general minecraft gameplay, history, and diferent platforms. Edit:I've  doubled tripled the size of the article.--Tgpqaz 17:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Yay!!! Now its not a stub! The way it should be(By which i mean it shouldnt be a stub).--Tgpqaz 22:39, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Funny thing is, Notch actually preferred the old article. http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/81867527868792832 – ultradude25 ( T at 03:01, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Wow, huh, well, I thought it was good idea.... --Tgpqaz 04:10, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * As I stated above I wanted to improve the article, and make it a detailed overview of the game instead of the two paragraph stub that it was a few days ago. This article should be a central part of the wiki, not a stub. I tried to fix my mistakes, but my goal was to set a framework for a great article. I respect notch, even if he preferred the old article but im happy with my work. If someone wants to redo everything, be my guest,  as long as the end result is a solid, comprehensive, detailed article on Minecraft, similar to the Wikipedia article on Minecraft, but suited to this wiki with more details on how the game is played.--Tgpqaz 15:41, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Minecraft for iOS
I saw that there were rumors about the Minecraft game was coming to the ipad, ipod touch and iphone... But I dont know about that. In E3 it was announced for Xbox360 and i was guessing if there was going to go for the iOS's.

Please reply telling me, PLEASE!!!

P.S.: Please tell me, everyone, when is it going to be released (maybe)...

The first minecraft video
I found the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9t3FREAZ-k Why don't we put it in? (bad english I'm Italian, and I'm new in minecraft wiki...) –The preceding unsigned comment was added by DeRobbyJ (Talk&#124;Contribs) Please sign your posts with


 * We already have that video mentioned. P.s. your English is great.--Cby 12:16, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Copyright thing doesnt work.
It says "The file public/copyright does not exist " when I went to the page. Can we have this fixed or is this the actual liscence?


 * Yea it seems they removed that page... Maybe that link should be removed on this page--Tgpqaz 17:44, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Some of the pages on that site are strangely missing, they probably will fix it--Tgpqaz 17:50, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Edit?
Well towards the bottom it says that it's sold over 3 million copies, but since Minecraft just hit 4 million shouldn't it be changed?
 * Sure. And for continuity purposes, new subjects on talk pages go on the bottom of the page. --Saphireking65 21:43, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Code freeze should read feature freeze
A code freeze means no changes on the code which would prohibit bug fixes. What is actually meant is a feature freeze where only existing features are improved and no new features are introduced. --77.13.35.13

Minecraft EDU
http://minecraftedu.com/ Near the bottom of the page there are "other versions of minecraft" listed. It have Minecraft 4k and the PC Demo listed, should Minecraft EDU be included? It is a version of minecraft..


 * Minecraft EDU is a mod/server/external program. It uses the same version of minecraft and just modifies it, it isn't its own version. (Also it's 3rd party) – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 02:15, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Typo
Hi, found a typo: "se the Lightweight Java Gaming Libary (LWJGL)" The word "library" is misspelled, but I can't change it myself. Thanks. 129.123.212.134 18:34, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
