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. Warpshard 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. --68.117.179.164 01:50, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Capture the Flag

You cannot place a zombie spawner without mods or hacks. If you want to place one, I recommend getting tekkit and putting the map on it, placing a zombie spawner, then putting the map back in normal minecraft.

Insomnia Minecraft Expo UK
I think there needs to be info one this somewhere, As Dinnerbone is going along with Curse and a bunch of celebrity individuals. so.

 * No; the wiki doesn't document the fan community. 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. If it's not in-game content or directly connected to Mojang (as Minecon is), it doesn't belong here. -- Orthotope talk 10:30, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

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.

-- TheWombatGuru   t undefinedc  NL Admin  11:11, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I think we should change admin protections to directors protections, since all language admins are in the directors group. However, it doesn't seem to show up on the list any more... –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs – 19:28, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * The directors right would need to be added to $wgRestrictionLevels; probably a low priority for Curse right now. -- Orthotopetalk 19:42, 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...

"Myths" Page
I suggest maybe a "Myths" page for a list of the commonly known myths and information about them like "Squids are attracted to light.", "Sugarcane grows the faster on sand.", etc. J192 11:36, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think this would be a good idea, but we're not allowed to make pages based on community icons or other thoughts. (except for Herobrine -- TheWombatGuru   t undefinedc  NL Admin  12:53, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm talking about myths that are usually told and believed, like sugarcane growing faster on sand. J192 10:59, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I understand, but if it's not really the case it doesn't belong on this wiki.-- TheWombatGuru   t undefinedc  NL Admin  13:00, 5 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Depending on how it's written, this could easily fall afoul of wiki rule #7. The only way I can see it working is if it's set up as a 'debunking myths' page, but even then it would be a target for rumors and misinformation. -- Orthotopetalk 20:56, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

The pages such as Special:SpecialPages, templates and the categories can not be accessed without actually knowing they exist and their URL.

"Your browser either has JS disabled or does not have any supported player."
I have been able to see sound players on the Minecraft Wiki, but recently it has stopped working. An example is the page

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Music_included_in_Minecraft

where I do not see any of the players. I see the message

"Sorry, your browser either has JavaScript disabled or does not have any supported player. You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser."

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

(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler/Client_download)

JS is set to "Allow all sites to run JavaScript (recommended)". Is it a problem in Chrome or on the Wiki?
