Chicken

Can chickens spawn in the Nether? References MCBug:41929 but Mojira is not loading. Diffs: 1314531

Mojira is loading for me. The bug is closed by Nathan Adams as Works as Intended. He states chickens in the Nether are the result of chicken jockeys losing their rider (the previous conversation seems to imply the rider and the mount have separate and different despawning conditions). --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 09:23, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Am I correct to assume then that the edit was false, chickens cannot spawn separately in the Nether, just happen to be encountered that way if its rider despawned? – Jack McKalling [ ] 09:25, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

This is what Dinnerbone's comment seems to imply, yes. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 09:26, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

That's indeed the case; the edit was already patrolled, but I now removed that text too. FVbico (talk) 10:02, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Classic 0.0.12a 01 and Classic 0.0.13a

In which of these updates was water made transparent? Diffs: 1249364 • 1249374

According to some videos on youtube, water was transparent in Classic 0.0.13a, but not in Classic 0.0.12a. In this video (german), its clearly visible. - Magiczocker (talk) 16:48, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Conduit

Do conduits give the status effect if you're in contact with rain, on legacy console editions? Diffs: 1265926

Confirmed in PS4. – Nixinova   20:50, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Dolphin

Can dolphins (still) ride in boats in Java as well as Bedrock edition? Diffs: 1218233 • 1219710

I tested in 1.13 and it doesn't look like they can. Might need some more thorough testing, though.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 14:04, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

It was a bug in Java Edition, has been fixed. -Pepijn (talk) 09:54, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

So I understand they indeed cannot ride boats in Bedrock edition, because it wasn't intended behaviour in the first place. All right, then the edits are partially correct, and the incorrect part of this has already been fixed. I can mark this request as done. – Jack McKalling [ ] 08:34, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Emerald Ore

Does emerald ore continue to stay generated in mountains, even if the world is customized? Diffs: 1239275

Yes, the generation of emerald ore is based on the biome, with customized, mountains still generate emerald ore; however, that line makes it sound like “there’ll always be more emerald ore than dismond ore in mountains”, which won’t be true when diamond ore chances are incremented.

The edit passed the date for patrollability, just saying. FVbico (talk) 10:17, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

The expiration date is what it is, but we could rephrase the sentence. Interpreting what you're saying, would it be correct to state Customizing the world does not affect emerald ore generation instead? – Jack McKalling [ ] 14:55, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Yes. FVbico (talk) 14:59, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I rephrased it and finished this request. – Jack McKalling [ ] 15:02, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Flower

Do roofed forests generate flowers the same way as regular forests? Diffs: 1246401

Yes, verified (although it took me forever to do so because of the lag I'm getting... ). Edit is too old to patrol, however.--Madminecrafter12 ^{(Talk to me | View what I've done)} 23:14, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Can the iron golem's dropping of poppies be affected by Looting? Diffs: 1253845

No, the loot table does not have any looting_enchant functions at all. FVbico (talk) 20:50, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Glowing Obsidian and Nether Reactor Core

Were these blocks fully removed from the game in Bedrock Edition beta 1.10.0.3? Diffs: 1313969 • 1314032

Seems like it, you can no longer setblock them. Though will have to see what happens if you load a world with them in it. FVbico (talk) 08:50, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Existing blocks remain, you just can't give or set them in-game anymore; they still exist. Marked as patrolled, and edits were already undone. FVbico (talk) 10:09, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Ice

Is it at least Efficiency 3 on a diamond pickaxe that ice blocks can be instantly broken with? Diffs: 1257894

That is indeed correct; it can't be patrolled now due to the edit having been made past the expiry time but I've tested it in the game and I got the same results. Marking as done.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 18:15, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Igloo

Did igloos really lose the ability to spawn with different colored beds in bedrock 1.10.0.3 beta? Diffs: 1314621

 Comment this was a parity issue with Java Edition, and is listed on my parity issue list, which I know for a fact that the devs are looking at; so this may be a result of the list. FVbico (talk) 09:13, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Found some only with a red beds, so this is now verified. Good to know mojang is looking at the list. :) FVbico (talk) 11:44, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Java Edition

What are the recommended requirements for macOS? Diffs: 1298241

I accidentally patrolled this edit. – Jack McKalling [ ] 09:25, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

The requirements were changed some time after this edit, so this request should be close. - Magiczocker (talk) 16:35, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Java Edition 1.13

Can players jump across a gap of 6 blocks when sprinting under the Slow Falling status effect? Diffs: 1246675

Looks like Pokechu22 already patrolled the edit without reverting. However, I tried in Java to jump 6 blocks and I could not get there, no matter how straight of a path I went or how close to the edge I jumped from. Just want to check in before marking this as done. =)-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 15:51, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@Pokechu22: Do you want to respond to this? Curious if you've confirmed this or not. Either way's fine, it just would be nice to know.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 16:09, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Unable to reproduce (around 30 times). Reverting edit, and going to clarify that 6 block gap is only possible when starting point is 1 block higher, as this is the only way I could get it to work. Even if an extreme pixel-perfect performance would result in a 6-block gap in a flat scenario, this will not be useful to anyone. – Jack McKalling [ ] 20:46, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Are these new GUI resolution values accurate? Diffs: 1249355 • 1249368

The first three are indeed called 1, 2 and 3 now, but I don't have a big enough monitor to test the bigger values right now. – Jack McKalling [ ] 22:44, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

For me it allows a gui scale of 4 when I have a maximized window, if it's the normal startup size for me, it goes up to 2, so it seems accurate. FVbico (talk) 11:45, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Can we consider the request done now? Seeing as I have access to GUI scale 4, and jack doesn't, verifying the second edit (partially). FVbico (talk) 09:59, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Yes, thanks. Edits were both expired, so this is done now. – Jack McKalling [ ] 10:35, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Java Edition 1.14

Are there going to be 9 or 10 new cat skins for Java Edition 1.14, seeing there might be 10 already in Bedrock edition? Diffs: 1265906 • 1265927 • 1265933

8, as there's 13 files now, one is the ocelot, and red, black (tuxedo) and siamese already existed before, and then there's the new collar texture. So both were wrong, and it seems it's already corrected and patrolled. FVbico (talk) 11:50, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Kelp

If a kelp stalk part is broken, does it break only all parts above it? And secondly, does it have a growth height limit of 24 blocks? Diffs: 1246816

1. Only blocks above break, the one below the hit one will turn to kelp instead of kelp_plant. FVbico 20:22, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

I can confirm that. It also seems the 24 value is accurate, but not in the context of the edit. The current mechanic on the page is correct however, so no change is needed. Kelp can naturally only grow an age of 0–24 in the talk, with the top +1, which is 26 blocks total. – Jack McKalling [ ] 01:05, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Does placing kelp in downward flowing water turn it into a source block? Diffs: 1247127

Can only be placed in source blocks last time I checked. FVbico 20:22, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

FVbico is correct for JE, based on my checking, so I've updated the article accordingly. However, it will need to be tested in BE before the edit can be patrolled.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 23:41, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Actually, the edit was correct. Or at least by now in 18w50a. You can't place kelp in flowing water. But you can place kelp in a downward flowing non-source water column and it will turn its block space into a water source. So I'm going to modify it to make this clearer. Going to finish this request now that it wasn't actually incorrect to begin with - just misinterpreted. – Jack McKalling [ ] 23:42, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Does kelp not naturally generate in frozen oceans? Diffs: 1277834

@Leduyquang753: thanks for verifying that it doesn't generate. – Jack McKalling [ ] 08:43, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Leaves

Can leaves really make observers pulse? Diffs: 1245136

The wording is VERY arbitrary. They can make observers pulse, but only if the distance block state changes (the nearest log/wood is (re)moved), so I'm removing this line, as it's still a block state change, and not actually random pulsing. FVbico (talk) 20:54, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Panda

Do playful baby pandas have different movement logic than others, such as falling off cliffs and wandering into water? Diffs: 1303934

Nope, wrong. Although baby pandas temporarily "loose" movement logic as they roll over, such as rolling off a cliff, they don't deliberately walk off of it, even if they follow your bamboo. This is very likely intended, the same thing also applies to hopping bunnies. Wandering into water works exactly the same, if they roll they can (unintentionally) fall into it, but never intentionally move into it. Making them follow you with bamboo will not prevent them walking into water however, it's not like they can't swim. So baby pandas behave exactly the same as any other from these findings. Reverting. – Jack McKalling [ ] 09:47, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Do lazy pandas ignore all entities and players? Diffs: 1304542

No, again this is false information. Lazy pandas lying on their back will not follow you if you hold bamboo. They will follow you if they're walking, and even when they're not, they're still looking at you as you move, so "ignoring" is just misleading. Tested in 19w03c, reverting. – Jack McKalling [ ] 10:09, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Phantom

Do phantoms not fly up or down when under the effects of Jump boost? Diffs: 1256553

Tested and they can fly up or down when under the Jump Boost status effect. Reverted and marking as done. Possibly a glitch at the time that was fixed in a later version.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 18:40, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Did phantoms start dropping 5 XP in 18w19a? Diffs: 1208329 • 1210017

Tested and confirmed that they start dropping 5 XP in 18w19a, as they didn't drop any XP in 18w16a. - Magiczocker (talk) 17:35, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Is a pack of phantoms attempted to spawn every 1 to 2 minutes, or 1200 to 1400 ticks (1400=70 seconds)? Diffs: 1219583

Verified: 1' to 2'.

/* (1.14.4) net.minecraft.world.level.levelgen.PhantomSpawner

this.nextTick += (60 + random.nextInt(60)) * 20;

Raid

Do patrol captains give a maximum of 6 instead of 5 Bad Omen levels since 19w13a? Diffs: 1357933 • 1357953

Verified: True.

// (1.14.4) net.minecraft.world.entity.raid.Raider

Sea Pickle

Can sea pickles generate in lukewarm oceans? Diffs: 1251275

Verified: No. Additional: Corals also don't generate there. Lê Duy Quang (Make some words | Contributions) at 9h25:16 | 26/9/2019 (UTC)

Snow

Can snow (layers) really fall by gravity now in legacy console editions, as well as in Bedrock editions? Diffs: 1259972

I'm sceptic because it doesn't appear in any changelog of the related versions. – Jack McKalling [ ] 12:22, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Snow layers are affected by gravity on PS4. – Nixinova   20:43, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Spawner

Are spawners now available in the creative inventory in LCE with a pick-block ability? Diffs: 1260903 • 1264742 • 1264744

Confirmed in PS4. – Nixinova   20:47, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Stronghold

Do Infested Stone blocks naturally generate in strongholds, just possibly much rarer than Infested Stone Bricks? Diffs: 1317527

This edit seems to be patrolled; though this is not the case in java (it could be they were in a mountains biome, which spawns them naturally. FVbico (talk) 10:12, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Verified: No.

// (1.14.4) net.minecraft.world.level.levelgen.structure.StrongholdPieces.SmoothStoneSelector

Terracotta

Does black terracotta naturally generate in mesa/badlands biomes? Diffs: 1265018

In most screenshots it looks like brown, but I can't tell for sure. – Jack McKalling [ ] 14:14, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Just checked, no, it's brown, there's no black. FVbico (talk) 10:47, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

The End

In the Legacy Console Edition, are the inner and outer islands surrounded by barriers (i.e. cannot pass through)? Diffs: 1312046 • 1279870

I found the edit that added this information, and added the diff to the list. I see that Nicolerenee patrolled the edit, but I suspect she might not have tested/known the fact. I cannot test or confirm this, hopefully someone can. – Jack McKalling [ ] 14:48, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Yup, there's what seems to be invisible bedrock surrounding the end at the coordinate 143. Tested on PS4. – Nixinova   20:55, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Turtle

Are turtles called "Turtle" in legacy console editions? Diffs: 1259493

They are **not** called sea turtle in bedrock, you can check this with the say command. (Just for those thinking that was wrong to begin with) FVbico (talk) 21:22, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Okay, closing this topic now. The editor claimed the mob ID in LCE was "turtle" anyway, so they're just "turtles" in all editions. Any other item or block in game referencing "sea turtle" is just using a different name than the actual mob itself, eventhough the mob technically is indeed a "sea" turtle. Marking edit as patrolled and request as done. For future reference, best solution would be if turtles were renamed as sea turtles in the game, but that's up to Mojang. – Jack McKalling [ ] 18:38, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

In PS4 the spawn egg is "Spawn Sea Turtle" and the egg is "Sea Turtle Egg". – Nixinova   20:58, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Do turtles always drop one bowl when struck killed by lightning, as it used to say 0-1 but was changed to just 1? Diffs: 1266804

Yes. FVbico (talk) 20:56, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Can turtles be picked up by a boat in Legacy Console editions, like in Java but not Bedrock? Diffs: 1277893

I spammed boats around some turtles in PS4 and they didn't seem to be able to get in. – Nixinova   21:01, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

They seem to rather suffocate than get in boats. I spawned a ton of boats and a ton of turtles in a 3x2 area of water and they just climbed over the boats. – Nixinova   21:05, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Turtle Egg

Do turtle eggs fall by gravity? Diffs: 1257594

Not in Bedrock or Java. The infobox's "gravity" parameter was removed from the template anyways, so I removed it from the article. –Sonicwave ^talk 00:53, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Underwater Ruins

Does the "size" of an underwater ruin chest here mean a single/double chest, as there are no images of double ones? Diffs: 1221569

I think it refers to the loot table, not sure. FVbico (talk) 14:13, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

It does. -Pepijn (talk) 09:45, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

It refers to single/double chest, or to the loot table? And if the latter, then does that mean the edit is false or correct? – Jack McKalling [ ] 09:48, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

It refers to the loot table; there’s no large chests in the ruins.

As for the edit it should be undone or rewritten, choose your pick. FVbico (talk) 21:46, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

All right, I rephrased the text. Can't patrol the edit anymore. – Jack McKalling [ ] 07:32, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Exactly which structures of underwater ruins have chests that can contain explorer maps? Diffs: 1224136

The only structure who has no "chest" structure block is underwater_ruin/mossy_1, and both chests/underwater_ruins_big and chests/underwater_ruin_small loot tables can create burried tressure maps, so all structures except mossy_1... :/ FVbico (talk) 10:06, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

In that case, it should be mentioned for all those structures, and not just one random one. Alternatively, explain centrally on the page that all chests execpt that one you mention, can all have the treasure maps in them. – Jack McKalling [ ] 10:35, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

I already edited the page to do that; above the table I mentioned all chests can generate with a map, and the loot table lists below also say that already. FVbico (talk) 10:38, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Update Aquatic

Is it really since 18w07c that the feature of a smooth transition to the camera when the player sneaks was added, as it's not mentioned on that page? Diffs: 1247876

The smooth transition was added in 18w07a as I tested. - Magiczocker (talk) 20:06, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Village

Were zombie villages actually removed at some point in Java Edition, due to there not being any structure files for them? Diffs: 1306962

Have been re-added in 19w0?a. – Nixinova   06:09, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

The zombie village structures desert and taiga were added in 19w04a and plains, savanna and snowy were added in 19w07a. The structures are located at data\minecraft\structures\village\<type>\zombie - Magiczocker (talk) 17:52, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Villager

Is the green robed nitwit villager really Java edition only, and does not appear in Bedrock? Diffs: 1250680

If it really is, this statement should also be moved out of trivia, and marked as {{only|JE}} or similar, in the content. – Jack McKalling [ ] 09:55, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Apparently they were added in Bedrock Edition beta 1.10.0.3. – Nixinova   06:08, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

What do the last 2 edits to the page even mean and are they accurate? Diffs: 1291364 • 1291365

I can't figure out what is meant. You could remove both for illegible reasons. – Jack McKalling [ ] 15:31, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

 Done; I've just reverted it. It's worth noting that the user (IP) has made a number of other edits to pages that are blatant or subtle vandalism and I'm about ready to block them if they continue vandalizing after the warning I gave them. I think they're the same subtle disruptive editor that we had many times before.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 15:35, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Vines

Can an axe collect vines when it has the Silk Touch enchantment? Diffs: 1261368

Not in JE. Will have to have someone else test BE.-- Madminecrafter12^{Talk to me} 18:51, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Not in bedrock either, maybe LCE? FVbico (talk) 12:07, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Nope, not in PS4 either. – Nixinova   21:12, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Wandering trader

Spawn rates of the wandering trader. According to AntVenom this information is somehow wrong. Diffs: 1313560

Regarding what this previously said ("urgent" and "and he’s dissing us for it"), we shouldn’t care about that, the wiki is full of mis-information, just look at this whole page. If he’s attacking the wiki because it’s wrong, block it out by saying he should then correct it rather than badmouth us.

We can’t have everything right, especially for new content, it’s only been out for less than 2 days, and we’re not the developers. FVbico (talk) 08:33, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

This was resolved a while ago. FVbico (talk) 10:13, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Water

Is water now -1 transparent to light? Diffs: 1246615

I'm certain water was indeed changed in respect to light in 1.13, and I remember the value "2", but I'm just not certain of the exact value used in this edit. – Jack McKalling [ ] 23:36, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

It's indeed -1 now, and the edit seems to be patrolled already. FVbico (talk) 20:49, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Does water in Mushroom Islands/Fields biomes in LCE (how are they called in LCE?) have a purple colour, different from JE/BE? Diffs: 1266442

No, it's dark grey(ish). --Giorgosarv18 (^talk/_contribs) 13:16, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Could you provide a source about that information? This page requires trusted sources, and you're not in the (auto)patroller usergroup yet. An image would be helpful. – Jack McKalling [ ] 18:52, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

I'm not saying you need to be a patroller to be able to contribute, that'd be a misinterpretation of the edit warning at the top. I mean, this page needs proof for all statements for it to be effective, as we're already trying to verify information with this page. And if no sources are provided, any posted message here would need additional verification (which is overhead work). People in the (auto)patroller usergroup are already trusted by management and that changes things only slightly for them. – Jack McKalling [ ] 13:41, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Water in mushroom biomes is greyish purple. – Nixinova   21:16, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Wheat Seeds

What is the name of this item in Legacy Console editions, wheat seeds or just seeds? Diffs: 1257557

"Seeds". – Nixinova   06:20, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Woodland mansion

Do pillagers and illager beasts spawn in woodland mansions? Diffs: 1292534

 Comment The Pillager and Illager Beast pages were also changed to state that they spawn in mansions (Special:Diff/1292539 and Special:Diff/1292545), but these edits were marked as patrolled. I reversed this change on the Woodland mansion page since I haven't been able to find any pillagers or illager beasts in 5 different mansions (in different worlds), and this change wasn't listed in the minecraft.net article or reported on the bug tracker; but I wanted to make sure in case I'm just getting unlucky. –Sonicwave ^talk 08:21, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Just to clarify there, Dinoguy1000 patrolled that first edit, but he did not verify the information. I've discussed this with him on discord, and he is willing to adjust his patrolling in case we get consensus on how we should use the feature. – Jack McKalling [ ] 09:03, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Someone seems to have removed it with the statement "false information", I’m not sure if this should be kept open then, but... FVbico (talk) 08:52, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Nothing in the structure files, so it was false info indeed. FVbico (talk) 10:15, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Honey Bottle and Java Edition 19w36a

How much saturation can honey bottle restore now and before 19w36a? Diffs: 1486361 • 1425531

In 19w35a, the saturation modifier of honey bottle is 0,8, which corresponds to 9,6 saturation points. As of 1.15.2, it is 0,1, corresponding to 1,2 saturation points. These numbers were retrieved directly from Minecraft's source code. Lê Duy Quang (Make some words | Contributions) at 6h35:03 – 5 | 20/2/2020 (UTC)
