This page lists some methods which may be helpful for verifying information about game mechanics or behaviors. It does not cover other types of information requiring verification, like finding developer sources or verifying the existence of old versions.

Game code[]

Java Edition[]

Game mechanics can be verified by looking through the game's source code, which may be faster and more reliable than testing it in-game. Some basic familiarity with Java or a similar programming language is recommended.

For versions 19w36a or 1.14.4 or later, https://github.com/hube12/DecompilerMC can be used to easily decompile and deobfuscate game code using Mojang's provided Obfuscation maps.

Bedrock Edition[]

This section is a work in progress.

Note: Is it even possible to view decompiled code on Bedrock?
