I need help regarding the demo

Hi, I'm interested in getting Minecraft so I downloaded the demo.

I play the demo and then it says it's loading but then the loading screen turns white and the whole window disappeared, I wondered at first if that's suppose to happen so I waited...for 20 minutes, nothing happened.

I've searched for an hour on google for topics about problems like this but I could only find people with lag problems, while I can't even get past the loading screen. I saw a youtube video that helps with a loading screen problem but my problem is different, the one in the video's is the actual game so menu looked different and their window didn't disappear when they loaded it.

Please help me with this problem, it's driving me nuts, I've tried updating drivers, graphic cards etc but none of that has changed anything.

(If I need to get a new one then please suggest it)-------- Radeon165 9/7/11 5:30PM (Australia)

Czech translation

I mean that small player of Minecraft need help but they don't speak English very good, so I want to transtlate pages on this wiki to Czech. If it is possible then send me e-mail jacktech24@gmail.com.

Simply add your name Minecraft Wiki:Projects/Czech translation and go to work! -- Wynthyst User Wynthyst sig icon talk 20:18, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Updates

This is a little crazy, but, can some be on here and look at every page, or split it up between your admins, because there is a lot of old info on a lot of pages that have a purpose, but have old info. The Thunderstorm page, and a bunch of pages. And if something is confirmed to be an expansion of a block or item, please make a 'Future' Section, like I did with Pumpkins.

EGA 2011

Minecraft is nominated at the EGA 2011 in the categories "Best European Game," "Best Indie Game," "Best Online Game", "Best Game Design" and "Best Browser Game." Should we place a link on the mainpage? -- Oliver Scholz de.Wiki Admin 02:35, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

In Popular Pages

Foreign Language Versions

I understand that the foreign language pages are valuable. I actually like the idea, but there's a serious flaw with the current organization system in place for these pages: They clog up the auto-generated pages. Especially the "wanted pages" article.

I know many other Wikis (including Wikipedia and most of the sites on Wikia) use a prepending system to handle this. (en.minecraftwiki, es.minecraftwiki, he.minecraftwiki, etc) This would reduce the stress load on the collector functions and allow persons wishing to contribute to "broken pages" an easier time in finding them. Thanks much, BobChao 02:24, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

The prepending system is also used on Minecraft Wiki (see Spanish, French, German, Hungarian, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese versions), but only when translations are sufficiently advanced. There are many people who demand the establishment of a translation project, but that translation is not often done after… – Scaler (t) 08:35, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Alright, thank you very much. That makes it really easy to find only the pages for any one language except English. Is there any way to sort only pages that aren't, for instance, subpages or something to aid my contributions? BobChao 15:46, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Remove cascading protection

Don't unprotect this page.--Tag2902 18:14, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Why? Then we'd have to go and protect each template used on the page. –ultradude25 (T|C) at 23:11, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Well, to be fair, they should all be individually protected anyways. Cascading protection is meant as a fallback, a failsafe in the event of accidental/unintentional unprotection, and there are known issues with cascading protection not applying when used by itself. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:32, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
Really? I thought it was just to make things easier. You could go protect the templates manually if you feel it's necessary. –ultradude25 (T|C) at 08:31, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

1,000 articles.

Maybe a nice title on Main Page about 1k articles? Zaqq 12:12, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

We've already reached 1,000 articles a couple of times now. The translation projects take up a large amount of pages, in reality, we've probably only got something like 400 pages. –ultradude25 (T|C) at 12:17, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

About the relase date

shouldnt someone change that countdown on the main page to 73 days? 66+7=73 i mean thats when the full game will be relesed wont it? --SSSSSSSssssss 01:16, 13 September 2011 (UTC) signed wildfire

The release date is not November 18, 2011? – Scaler (t) 08:20, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Yet the info on the main page says the full game will be relished 7 days after the 11th?im confused --Thatssss a very nice ssssignauture you have there SSSSSSSssssss, Signed Wildfire 22:33, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes and 7 days after the 11th is in 65 days. So what is the problem? – Scaler (t) 07:55, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

The "Current Release" info

If I were a noob and saw "Current Beta Version: 1.8pre2" I would spam the forums on why my Client won't update from 1.7.3 to it. We need a new entry stating "Current Public Release developement version: 1.8pre2", while the Current Beta Version tell you the version your client should autoupdate to.

Now obviously my tactic to fill that info is not that good considering how long the wording is: it can be made better. You all are smart guys, I'd really appreciate it if you all could find a way to shorten it. UGoBoom 23:24, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

1.8.1

Minecraft 1.8.1 IS OUT! -cake

Freezing

Since my vdersion of Minecraft updated automatically today I cannot play the game - it freezes within a couple of minutes.

Sourcing images

Hey, I'm not sure if this has been discussed. Should all images not created by the user be sourced? Example: File:DirtSlab.png, from The Word of Notch (notch.tumblr.com/post/220243988/half-sized-blocks-all-dirt-tiles-so-it-kinda). Pages with information not from the game are at least sourced, and unsourced contents are either discussed or removed, so why not images? And I just realized this is the wrong place but it's kind of late now.--72.19.122.119 02:24, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes they should, using the Template:Information. Next time please post on Minecraft Wiki Talk:Community portal--Yurisho 03:58, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Upcoming features

Once again, I'm telling, you can delete 'Many new blocks' and 'New features in the terrain generator' from the Upcoming features section. Piotrek 13:10, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

That's what the editcopy page is for. –ultradude25 (T|C) at 13:15, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

1.9 pre release!

nether brick, nether fences, blaze rod, ghast tear, nether wart, two new nether mobs, nether dungeons

For anyone willing to report this to Notch; I've noticed that armor, (full steel was what I was using) since it's new durability, is invalid to the HUD now since I had a full set on and it was showing that I had about 4 armor shards missing. After about twenty minutes of fighting in the Nether, I noticed that I only had my chest and pants left, when my armor said it was practically full. Just a warning for anyone that hasn't run into this issue yet. K12machinima
