I want post an image

Hi, I'm new in the wiki, I've only registered to post an image, that shows a sugar cane that naturally spawned in the top of leaves. I don't know how to do this. If you or someone could explain to me or even post that for I would thank you. And, sorry for my English I'm Brazilian.

Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox

Hiya! just messaging all other admins about my project, the Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox.
This sandbox initiative is going to try to gauge what the community wants page-wise, and where they want the wiki to go.
the plan is to use that, and see if the wiki can go that way, if our rules need improving, or if it is not viable to go in certain directions with the wiki.
So, there will be many pages that break our current rules, that will be located at "Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox/PAGENAMES".
I'm just messaging to request, unless it is blatant spam, please don't delete these pages.
There is a system to delete these pages if they are too low quality, or not active enough, and a system to tell users what has been deleted, and why. as well as informing them if a page will never be reconsidered. This section of the wiki is to see if we can push the rules, and if we should we push the rules.
I welcome other admins to help take part in this project, to see how the wiki can viably adapt to the community.
Have a good day! :) --Kizzycocoa 22:26, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

i have so many questions

  • how can i become an admin?
  • how does a powered rail work? cause they dont really work for me,
  • can i make moss stone?
  • i made a new suvival map and i spawned in the mose creepyst place! the trees were giant mushrooms, the grass was gray [WHAT WAS THAT DARK MAGIC?!?!?!?] what was that about? it was a village seed that didnt work. answers?
  • all the villages ive been to had no golems, why?
  • what does a snow golem do? ive only seen them in the wiki and in comparison, snow golems are to small.
  • why does dye only work on sheep? [notch, comon, i was really looking forward to purple chickens]
  • can i only ask for parts in mutliplayer? [my sis says yes, my brother says no] {?!?!?!?}
  • have you ever seen a spider jockey?
  • everytime i go under ground, i here erie, creepy sounds, what does that mean?

confused soul, --Cheetahfur 19:45, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

You weren't kidding, Cheetahfur. =) One at a time:
  • Unlike on some other wikis, there is no set process for requesting or gaining adminship on this wiki; the best thing to do is simply to start editing, make high-quality edits, and show that you're willing to work in an area (and actually be good at working in that area) where the admin tools would be a net benefit. In my case, I've done a certain amount of technical work here (on templates, though not nearly as much as I've done on other wikis), and after my initial request for adminship fell flat (I asked on User talk:Quatroking, though I'm going to tell you now that asking for adminship here won't get you very far), I simply started editing. After quite a while, Curse wanted some additional admins for the English wiki, and Wynthyst (who acts a bit as a community liaison between the wiki and Curse) asked me if I'd be interested. Basically, demonstrate that you're a trustworthy, capable editor who would benefit from the tools, don't make a nuisance of yourself, and be patient, and you may get to be an admin eventually. ;)
  • I don't really know; I've never played much with them myself. They should work for you if you have a Redstone Torch next to them and allow a minecart (whether you're in it or not) to get the expected boost. Other than that, the only thing I could tell you is to read the Powered Rail article.
  • You can't currently; you have to find it in generated dungeons.
  • That would be a mushroom biome. The giant mushrooms are Giant Mushrooms, and the grass is Mycelium. There should also be red-and-white cows with mushrooms on their backs, called Mooshrooms, there.
  • What version of Minecraft are you running? If you haven't upgraded to the latest version, golems may not spawn because they may not be in the version you're running.
  • Basically, it's like a guard; it throws snowballs at hostile mobs. The snowballs don't do much damage, but they do distract the mobs if you're being chased.
  • Because that's all it is programmed to work on. Personally, I'd like to be able to use it on glass, myself. =)
  • I'm not sure what you're asking here; what are the parts you're referring to?
  • Yes, though it's been quite some time. I've seen some very recent videos with spider jockeys, though.
  • Certain of those sounds are simply random ambience, I think, but some of them indicate a cave that you haven't explored yet.
I think that's everything; let me know if there's anything else you need or if I need to further explain anything. =) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:43, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
THANKS
i heard that you could say, lets say: send dinodude 12 nether blocks. and you could get them. that what im trying to find out. and yes there was red cows! [weird]. i later found out that if you are tunneling underground, and you suddenly hear like, very odd and creepy and short music, [not the happy kind, but not the very bad kind,] it means you are *this close to a monster spawner!! i found a village seed thay was soposto lead me to a village [survival] but instead, it didnt, so im like ok whatever. so i deleted the word and made another of the same seed, and the same world spawned! the same cave, the same formations of trees, everything!! that happened like 7 times. ??
i saw a picture that showed me how to make a saddle and moss-stone and i tried it out and it didnt work. [whose the false?] wiki said i couldnt, and the user who made the pic said i could. ??? and tip: if you find a village, and you go between 2 village houses and you see a hole and you fall into it, DONT TRY TO GET OUT! its an un finished hole to a monster spawner! and i ment something like this: you walk out of your [survival] home, and get hit by nothing, so your like whatever and you go on your way till you get hit again by a[turns around]SKELETON RIDING A SPIDER!!! and your like HEY MAN THATS NOT COOL something like that. what are those little brown things scattered in the desert? how fast does a sapling grow? how many hits does it take to kill a cow with your hands? can i make cheese? i made a bucket and found a stream and clicked on it with the bucket, but nothing happened.??-how do i pick up water? are wolfs the only pets i can have? in survival mode, how is the nether helpful?:D [creepyland] where can i find ghasts? how are silverfish bad?[silverfish spawner,] go to creative, put it on hard, put silverfish everywere, turn it on peaceful, they disapear. ??? :? hope thats not too much,
Cheetahfur 22:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
oh and are cauldrons ONLY for water? and look at the pic on my page, the blocks in the invintory, what kind of blocks are those!?!?!?!
teehee, Cheetahfur 22:57, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Aah, now I know what you're talking about. That's a server command, meaning in vanilla Minecraft, it can only be used in multiplayer. Furthermore, that particular command is restricted to server ops. If you want that functionality in singleplayer, you have a few options: Creative Mode allows you to build with an infinite supply of blocks, and also features fly mode (toggled by double-tapping the spacebar); Single Player Commands is a mod that allows you to use server commands in single player mode; and TooManyItems is a mod that allows you to use any block in the game, even those that aren't normally obtainable, and also features an inventory saver (note that I can't help you install mods or anything, though, since I've never done much with any of them).
The music can certainly play when you're near a monster spawner, but it usually just means you're near an unexplored cave of some sort.
Seeds usually don't generate the same world from one version of Minecraft to the next; you probably just found a seed for a different version of Minecraft from what you're running. On the other hand, the same seed on the same version of Minecraft will generate the same world every time it's used, hence your experience with getting the same world seven different times. ;)
There are undoubtedly mods that add crafting recipes for saddles and moss stone, but in vanilla Minecraft these items aren't craftable. Again, though, I can't help you out if you want to try mods.
The little brown things in deserts are Dead Bushes.
The amount of time required for saplings to grow is random and can range from a few minutes to hours; some information on how sapling growth works is on Tree#Growth and characteristics.
Cows require 20 hits from your fist to kill (they have 10 hearts of health, and each hit with your fist deals half a heart of damage).
No, currently cheese isn't in the vanilla game. In all likelihood, there's a mod that adds it, though.
You have to right-click with a bucket on a water source block to pick up water (this also works for lava).
In addition to wolves, you can tame ocelots after which they will be loyal to you. Snow Golems and Iron Golems could also be considered pets, though they don't protect you specifically, and Iron Golems will attack you if you attack them first.
It depends on how you play, ultimately: if you're a builder, the Nether is the only source of blocks such as Netherrack, Soul Sand, Nether Brick, and Glowstone; if you're an adventurer, accessing the Nether is required for brewing (since a Brewing Stand requires a Blaze Rod to craft, and potions usually require Nether Wart for brewing); and if you're out to "complete" the game, the Nether is a very helpful step in getting to the End.
Ghasts are found in the Nether.
Silverfish can enter several different types of blocks, after which it's very difficult to tell the normal blocks from the Silverfish blocks. In addition, if you hit a silverfish, it can "call" other silverfish that are in nearby blocks to attack you.
All hostile mobs disappear in Creative mode.
Yes, cauldrons are now only useful for holding water. They were originally meant to form the basis of the potion system.
I'm not sure; the person that took that picture was using a texture pack. You would have to ask them what texture pack they were using, and what block that is, unless someone else happens to recognize it and can help you out.
I'm not trying to be rude, but in the future, if you have a question about a specific aspect of the game (e.g. a specific type of block or mob), could you read its article on here before asking me? Many of your questions are answered on the relevant article. If you can't find an answer, though, by all means go ahead and ask me anyways. Cheers! =) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:45, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Reaching Admins to discuss incorrect bans

I was incorrectly auto-banned by the abuse filter yesterday, and all the messages kept encouraging me to contact admins about it.

When I tried to add a topic to an admin's talk page, the wiki helpfully reminded me of how banned I was and that I should contact an admin about that.

It seems like banned people should have the permission to talk to admins, since only incorrectly banned people would ever risk posting things on an admin's talk page. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Redson (Talk|Contribs) 13:54, 18 April 2012‎. Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Right, if you're banned, you should obviously ignore my advice to leave messages on my or others' talk page on-wiki since you can't (and I agree, banned editors being unable to edit admins' talk pages is something that has bugged me for a very long time, but there's not much I can do about it). I wasn't thinking about the fact you'd been banned when I wrote that; if it happens again, you should go ahead and email an admin for help. =) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:44, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
The top of the Admin Noticeboard has a note about how to contact an admin by email. I'm not familiar with the messages given to banned users, but perhaps something similar could be added to them; not everyone will think to go to the noticeboard. -- Orthotope 20:06, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello Sebastianpin, I don't have any control over that, and am not the one to ask. We do have a translation project, and there appears to be a subproject for Romanian, but it doesn't look like much has been done. If you'd like, you can contribute to the subproject; after all the main articles have been translated, Curse will decide whether there seems to be enough interest for a new language wiki version. =) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Incrementing numbers?

I want to use padright in the navbox template so that you don't have to have the code for a group 20 times. Now from your repeat template this is simple enough to work out initially, and you could probably stick a switch in to work out how many times you want to repeat it, however I need to have a way to increment the number so you get group1 list1, group2 list2, etc.

Or would this idea be completely flawed due to it including the user input of each group as part of the padding? –ultradude25 (T|C) at 15:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't think it would work very well, though I'm not sure exactly what problems you might face trying to do so; I've never tried using repeat techniques on parameter names, so I'm not sure just how you would work with them. There are also potential problems with the repeat limit; #padleft seems to have a hard limit on the length of the output string of no more than 500 characters (anything more is dropped), and the older #replace-based version has a similar limit of 1000 characters (the original #expr-based version has two limits, as I recall, the first is 14 replaces (due to how many decimal places MediaWiki tracks or something), and the second is a limit on the length of the input string, to 30 characters, IIRC).
Wikipedia's version doesn't *look* like it'd have any such similar limits, but I don't really understand how it works (I've got the gist of it, I think, but I'm lost on the details) and haven't tried playing with it any. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Well I worked out the incrementing number, that was actually really easy. {{#vardefine:i|{{#expr: {{#var:i}} + 1 }} }}{{#var:i}}
If you transclude the template normally, it won't actually increment, you actually have to define the first parameter (even though it isn't actually used in the template).
For example {{User:Ultradude25/The Workbench/2|}} {{User:Ultradude25/The Workbench/2|}} {{User:Ultradude25/The Workbench/2|}} {{User:Ultradude25/The Workbench/2|}} would give you 1 2 3 4.
However, I didn't have any luck getting it to work with the navbox. –ultradude25 (T|C) at 11:57, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
Aah, now see, I never would have thought to use #var & co.; I still haven't done nearly enough with them to really understand how they work and what might be possible with them.
In the long-term, we'll have a solution for this after we finally get Lua as a replacement for the current template system. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:29, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

benedict03 blocked

Hoping this is the right place. My son was blocked today for behaviour he thought was OK. It looks like he ignored some warnings. I have told him he needs to pay attention to whatever the moderators say. He was blocked for griefing. He was actually breaking a brick in a house to test if it was "protected" and was reported before he put it back. He was not destroying the house. This is something he has been taught by a friend as a way to find out whether property is available or not. He and his sister have lost houses themselves they have not protected in time by others doing the same thing so thought it was how things were done. I have tried to find rules around this but can't see any. I would be happy to let him know what he should and shouldn't do but he certainly wasn't intending to be destructive. Just trying to see if the property was open or not. Are you able to reinstate him and also clarify what is allowed? It seems his friend Horsefink75 was also banned doing the same thing today. He builds beautiful houses and I know was certainly not intending to be inappropriate. Many thanks!

Hello Tables, I have seen what you're talking about. However, we don't have any actual information on what these textures were actually supposed to be for, so an article would be complete overkill. Instead, this should be given a section on Unimplemented features.

Grid finished (finally)

So I actually finished rewriting the grid template. I managed to work out how to add animations and everything seems to be working.

There's only a few problems that I've found that I don't know how to solve.

  1. Having a space after a name will count that as part of the filename (File:Grid Dirt .png), which obviously won't show the intended image. This didn't happen on the old template, but I can't see how it dealt with the problem.
  2. I couldn't find a way to catch missing images (and display File:Grid Unknown.png instead) without hitting a limit on Crafting. #ifexist is limited to 100, and crafting used 909 (I think I might have had the #ifexist running twice, but even without that it would still be way over the limit). I tried a transcluding trick, but it hit a similar limit, and caused every image to show up on the page's template list. Is there a way to find how many of a resource we've used? If then, we could catch missing images until we get close to the limit, then allow them to display the wiki's normal missing image text (if they are missing).
  3. I had to move the display code to a separate template to make the animations work, since having the grid template call the animation template, which then called the grid template again for each frame caused the wiki to complain about a template loop. It would only ever loop once, so if we could trick the wiki into letting one loop through then we would only need to run the animation parser when there actually is an animation, thus allowing us to have 1 less template when there's no animations. (And it would allow Grid to be the display template, which I think makes more sense, instead of it being an animation parser that calls a display template.)

Other than that minor stuff, I think it's ready to deploy. As usual, I'd want someone (you :D) to look over it first to see if there's any glaring problems, or if they've got any better ways to do things.
You'll need the all the u-grid css from User:Ultradude25/vector.css for everything to display, and if you want to see the animations you'll need the script at the bottom of User:Ultradude25/vector.js. ultradude25 (T|C) at 14:31, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw your work on User:Ultradude25/Projects/Grid/Cell. =)
  1. I'll have a look, but first I'm probably going to have to add more whitespace in the code so I can read it more easily. If I can't figure out a proper solution, though, I know of a hack to get rid of the space.
  2. Have you experimented with setting Grid Unknown.png as the background image for one of the divs and displaying the proper image (or an empty cell image) over top of it? For that matter, this could be refined so that Grid Unknown.png is only added as the background if a block or item is being displayed in the cell. From there, we can use CSS to hide the redlink that appears if an image isn't uploaded (at least, as long as the CSS is added in a stylesheet; inline CSS doesn't work very well with links).
  3. Unfortunately not from within wikimarkup, though that sounds like a very useful feature. I don't think it'd be very feasible until we get Lua for template scripting, but that's going to be a few months down the road even for Wikimedia wikis, and it'd also require the scripts having access to a global page state (which will be needed anyways for variables in many situations).
  4. The best thing would be to have only one template (Grid/Cell, or whatever we end up calling it), and let the Javascript handle all of the animation. There shouldn't be any need to recreate the entire cell for each frame of the animation. I think the best way would be to have one div for each frame, absolutely aligned to be stacked so that it defaults to showing the first block/item, and then using Javascript to manipulate the z-index if the cell needs to be animated, but I have no idea what sort of browser bugs there are there (I know IE 6 has issues with z-index, but I don't know if Curse is worried about supporting it any more).
I'll have a look in a minute, I think, but I can't promise very much after today; it's sounding like I might have a lot of stuff happening IRL, probably through the end of the month and then some. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:56, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
  1. It's a shame there's no way to use regular expressions, or at least expose trim().
  2. Hmm, I hadn't thought about doing it as a background. That should be really simple.
  3. Looks like I'm going to have to learn lua... D:
  4. The reason I did it this way is so you don't have to have the 9 lines of code that displays each image copied for each frame (that would be a right nuisance to update).
That's alright, these issues aren't show stoppers, so there's no rush to fix them. ultradude25 (T|C) at 21:17, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
  1. That's coming with Lua (I don't know about regexes per se, but we'll definitely have a lot more power in manipulating strings). ;)
  2. Numbering placeholder =D
  3. From what I understand, Lua is actually supposed to be fairly simple and straightforward as a scripting language. I also don't think we'd be getting it for at least another year, even if it landed in MediaWiki 1.21 (which should be released in August or September, at the rate recent versions have been getting released).
  4. Hmm... If I understand correctly, currently Cell just displays a single static cell, and to animate, the grid template (be it Crafting Table, Furnace, or Brewing Stand) just calls several Grid templates and wraps the bunch in a single span with an "animate" class, right? I can't get the animation to work myself, even though I've copied the necessary JS and it appears to be working properly according to Chrome's error console... I also don't understand what you're getting at by ending up with having to copy 9 lines of code per frame with my version; could you elaborate?
Lastly, it would help if I could get a rundown of exactly what each parameter is for in Grid; think you could whip up some documentation real quick? =) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:38, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
You said to just let the javascript handle the animation, so at the bear minimum the template will need to output each image and number right? So unless you're planning on using loops (crafting isn't going to like that), you'd need the (was) 9 lines of code that does that copied for each frame that the animation could have.
The reason the animation doesn't work is you missed the CSS that hides the in-active cells.
Basic doc:
  • {{{1}}} what image to use
  • {{{2}}} the number to display
  • {{{output}}} adds the output class to the grid which makes it 48x48px
  • {{{class}}} adds an additional class (used to make the first frame of the animation start with the active class, so it displays for people with JS off)
  • {{{align}}} sets the vertical-alignment
  • {{{mod}}} if set will add _({{{mod}}}) to the end of all image names and /Mods/{{{mod}}}/ in front of every link
  • {{{title}}} if set will remove any links and set title="{{{title}}}"
  • {{{link}}} if set to none will remove all links, otherwise will replace the automatic link based on the image name
  • {{{default}}} sets an image which is always displayed behind {{{1}}}'s image (used for the brewing stand) ultradude25 (T|C) at 22:01, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Aah, now I see. Yes, the basic idea is to have Cell output every image and number. As you said, loops are out of the question for this, but we can fake them by putting the output/display code into a Cell/frame template or similar, and then we can just do something like {{ #if: another-frame | {{Cell/frame|frame info}} }} for each frame, with the default frame getting the "active" class.
Got the extra CSS, now the animations work. Thanks for pointing it out. =D
Cool, I'll have another look in a bit and see what other improvements/streamlining I might be able to do now that I know exactly what everything does. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:26, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
So that is basically how it already is then? Except it wouldn't output the frame and it wouldn't need to pass along as many variables. Sounds like a good idea anyway, especially having less variables to pass on.
One obviously stupid thing I noticed while writing the doc is I have {{{output}}}, which add a class and {{{customclass}}}, which adds a class... I've fixed that now and made a few tweaks to names.
I'm going to see if I can get that ? image idea to work now. ultradude25 (T|C) at 22:58, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey Quatroking, yes, I am aware that blocking a /18 range results in thousands of IPs being prevented from editing. Unfortunately, it seems that the ISP that owns this range assigns a new IP to its customers on a regular basis (more than once a day), meaning the vandal in question can trivially get around single-IP blocks, and indeed has vandalized from at least a dozen IPs from all over in this range. If their vandalism wasn't so disruptive, I wouldn't have blocked the range, but inserting huge blocks of gibberish and replacing the content of pages is severe enough in my estimation to justify such a rangeblock in the absence of evidence for undue collateral damage (innocent editors getting caught in this block). This is not the first time I blocked this range, but every time, the vandal simply outwaits the block expiry and starts up again. This is also not the first time I've been involved in rangeblocking someone for vandalism, so I understand the potential issues surrounding it.
I'm not going to wheel war over this block, though; if you'd rather spend undue amounts of time reverting vandalism and blocking individual IPs while this vandal continues to simply IP-hop every couple of hours, be my guest. =) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:04, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if there are any remaining copies of the Minecraft.jar file from that particular version anywhere in the world, actually. MCNostalgia, though, allows you to downgrade your copy of Minecraft to a version of Infdev released just a few days before the version you're looking for. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:41, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
That's indev, right? Well, anyway, I have that version, but the title screen looks completely like indev and it kicks me back to the title screen. Are you sure the infdev 2-27-10 had anti theft and had a title screen exactly like indev? (Otherwise it is not.) –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Tables (Talk|Contribs) 20:56, 11 July 2012‎.

MCNostalgia has one version from Indev and one from Infdev. Other than that, I can't tell you anything about them, since I started playing Minecraft in Alpha and have never looked too deeply into pre-Alpha versions. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:47, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

No. It's my understanding that most of the sounds in Minecraft are web resources that are just cached on your machine, so tools like MCNostalgia won't get you old sounds. I would suggest looking through older Youtube videos; people occasionally upload videos with the raw sounds for various reasons. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:47, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Creepy things in 1.3.1

Hello, I would like to tell you this odd story of mine and my cousins adventures in the new 1.3.1. I didn't know if it could be a bug or something.

It all started when me and my cousin wanted to play the new update on august 1st. I downloaded the latest server file. I opened it and it made all the server files and generated a new 1.3.1 world. My cousin couldn't join me on my server because I had issues with hamachi, so in the end we went to his server. I gave him the folder with ALL the files I had and he launched the server from the exact same folder. We started to explore the world, tried to find a good spot to settle down. Half of the minecraft day pasted and I spotted a nice hill, on which we could settle down. We stated to gather wood and started to make the house as well. Night came quickly upon us. We continued to build the house so we could have a bit more of defense from the monsters. While I was building I spotted something really weird in the distance... It looked like a city, that a real player would make. The thing that fell in my eyes the most were a gold tower. Asked my cousin if could see it but he said he couldn't, he plays on normal render distance unlike me. We decided to go check it out in the morning, when the monsters are gone, the forest is quite dense. Day came and we went there. When we arrived it was really a "city" build by a real player. As we were exploring I spotted a banner on a building... It said "t3c". It was the famous parkour map. We didn't know how it could have gotten here. I generated a completely new world with the server! I never had the t3c map on my pc, I gave only see let's plays of it! As we we were leaving I noticed that a part of the map is cut off, I don't know how much exactly. The whole map was one block above see level as well. We decided not to go there anymore because it has things that we shouldn't have right now, like gold blocks, golden apples etc. Later on, as I was continuing to make my house, my cousin went to look for chickens, because we wanted to make a book and quill. At some point he made my write down my coordinates, so we could get back, and made me teleport to him. He found an entire line of chunks that were water, splitting the whole land in half! He turned right to continue his search for chickens while I went left to explore the split. A few blocks away the split cut an entire side of a mountain! We haven't found anything else weird since then... I am adding a link to a rar of the ENTIRE server. We live in (x43,y73,z153) and close to that you will find the t3c thing. Also in (x-25,y75,z510) you will find the water split. http://www.mediafire.com/?94n4y82yu57fls6

I don't know if you believe me or not, because I could have edited the world. But I am telling you generated like that by it self!–Preceding unsigned comment was added by Aaartis2 (Talk|Contribs) 09:51, 2 August 2012‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Thanks for the story, Aaartis2, but I'm really not sure why you told me; there's not much I can do about it. ;)
If you're just looking for possibilities on what happened, Minecraft will often "reuse" old chunks from deleted worlds when generating new worlds. This is a bug, and if it is the explanation, it probably would have happened on your machine, before you sent the world to your friend (though on the other hand, you said that you've never had the t3c map on your machine, so Minecraft might have grabbed deleted chunks from your friend's machine after he started up the server with the map you generated). ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:42, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Tor IPs

Is there a list of known Tor IPs that we can block? There should be no reason for someone to legitimately edit from a tor address (same as proxies, which are already blocked). ultradude25 (T|C) at 09:19, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

There's actually a MediaWiki extension that the Wikimedia projects use for blocking Tor IPs, but it comes with some caveats, as listed on that page and Bugzilla (also, remind me later to add a "bugzilla:" IW prefix...). ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 13:32, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Nether Portal help

I was playing minecraft xbox 360 edition on my map with my friend. We each made a Nether Portal in each of our houses. when I made mine, I went into it and obviously spawned in The Nether.

The way portals link up with each other is a bit weird, but if you experiment with various placements of two different portals in the Nether you should eventually be able to get a system that works for you.

Banned for creating an account

Hi. My username is SteppyW.

The other afternoon, I attempted to create a curse/minecraft wiki/forums account, from my school. Minecraft is quite popular there, and it appears that, unknown to me, someone at my school has managed to get themselves IP banned.

When I created my account, everything followed as per normal, except that when went to verify my account, instead of the verification link working, it said this.

Sorry, you don't have permission for that! You have been banned from this forum. To appeal a forum ban please email banappeal@minecraftforum.net, including your username and any information you feel may be relevant to your ban


I then left school, and traveled home, and tried to log in. My account was still banned.

I then recreated my account at home. (It somehow wasn't verified, so it didn't say i was already a member.

However, even with recreating the account, i am still banned

Please help.

Yours Sincerely

Hi. I need some help

I understand that you might be the wrong person to ask but I don't really understand my way around Minecraft. I have a twelve year old brother (ooooo33333) that is really into this game. I understand there is nothing you can do about him being blocked from a server, but he had alot of diamonds that were given to him both from the creator of the server, and that he purchased. They have both been blocked. They were blocked because apparently a "griefer" killed him to take his possessions. He tried to get them back, the co-creator then locked him and his friend Frost3940 in "prison" because they wouldn't tell him how to get diamonds even though both of them had told the co-creator how to get these diamonds repeatedly. As far as my brother and I know the creator of this server is perfectly fine with them both being in his server. I was wondering if there was any way I could maybe report this co-creator or maybe talk to the creator about getting them unbanned or at least their possessions. It would be highly appreciated. The server name is mc.elementcraft.net Thank you so very much for your time and I hope to hear back from you. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.81.152.229 (Talk) 04:16, 26 August 2012‎ (UTC).

IKJames and other things.

Hey Dinoguy1000, I have a question. Remember when you told me that IKJames was inactive? I have a question about that, as said here,

"IKJames is inactive. IKJames has not edited since June 2011, so he will probably not receive any comments left here. Please keep this in mind before leaving a comment."

I also notced this message to FMR Administrator Miclee,

"I have removed your Administrator privileges due to no contributions to the wiki being made from you in your period as an administrator. The logs show that you have performed 2 actions between September 2011 and February 2012, you have also contributed only 1 change during the same period. --Citricsquid 05:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)"

(Reasonably specking) Should we do the same with IKJames, Or should we wait? Just curious. Also, I would like your thought about this; Do you think that all Wiki Admids here should have "Wiki Administrator", "Administrator" Or anything that can spec that they are Admids in there signature, or User Page-(Like yours) without having to go to the Directors page, or the Admin noticeboard? I don't know. Just a thought. And last, How do I change my signature? (I like your signature). Reply back when you can. Spencer10APSC 19:03, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I really can't say whether it's better to remove the admin bit from an inactive admin account; this is something that is frequently debated on Wikipedia, for instance, so it's far from a settled issue overall. My only opinion on the matter is that if a formerly inactive editor starts editing again, and they had their admin bit removed because of their inactivity, they should be able to get it right back just by asking, unless there's a very good reason not to. As for the removal itself, I can say that only bureaucrats are actually able to remove (or grant) the admin bit, so even if I had a strong opinion on the matter, there wouldn't be anything I could do about it.
I don't think requiring such identification is necessary, and in most cases it also isn't really advisable: the position of administrator is purely a janitorial one, and other than the extra tools and responsibility, administrators are generally expected to behave as though they were just another editor (since that's arguably all they are). Adminship is not meant to be a trophy or status symbol, but if you announce it every time you leave a comment on a talk page (as you would if you had some sort of "administrator" tag in your signature), it will invariably lead to someone viewing it as such. I don't know if you pay any attention to me, but if you do, you'll notice that I almost never mention that I actually am an administrator; it usually doesn't have any relevance to the work I'm doing and bringing it up in most discussions is equivalent to an appeal to authority, which is not the way to "win" a discussion.
You can customize your signature by visiting your preferences and changing the text in the "New signature" textbox. Note that if you do, you also have to check the "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" checkbox immediately below it, since otherwise MediaWiki will treat the textbox's contents as your username.
When customizing, you can use HTML and wikitext, but keep in mind that there's a hard 255-character length limit, and using templates or images in your signature is generally discouraged. It's also considered good etiquette to make sure there's a link to your user or talk page in your signature. If you need any more help, please ask! ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:56, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Ah, Interesting. That makes since. By the way, I thought that Administrators had more authority than bureaucrats, Even tho I did not know for sure what they were. Also, (Relay hope you don't mind me asking). But I have one more question, What is minimal requirement age for a Bureaucrat/Administrator? (I'm not asking your age) Not just here, But the average site. (Note, I do not want to be a Admind Any time soon. Unless of course, You, or another Bureau/Admind asks me to be one (Or however it works)). Just find it interesting and nice that some admids like Kizzycocoa And IKJames are under 21. I just think that's... Odd, But in a good way. Thanks for telling me these nice facts. Spencer10APSC 18:52, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
I wouldn't say that either role has any intrinsic authority, necessarily. Administrators have tools that help keep the wiki clean, e.g. being able to delete or protect pages and block users, whereas bureaucrats only have the ability to grant and revoke admin privileges (though on all the wikis I've seen, bureaucrats have always also had the admin bit).
Age requirement is another interesting issue, and again, one without any easy answers. On one hand, it is trivial to demonstrate that younger people tend to be more immature than older people, but on the other hand, a person's maturity can vary vastly from person to person. So really, the best way to handle it is to ignore a person's age and instead look at their contributions and interactions with other people. As for me, I have no qualms about giving out my age; I just turned 24 earlier this month. =) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:17, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Use <span style="color:color">text</span>. color can be given as HTML color names, like "red", "black", or "green", X11 colors (basically a whole bunch of extra color names), or hex triplets (e.g. "#080", for the orange in my signature).

You shouldn't say you're not that good of an editor just based on that... If you're not confident in making one type of edit, you can always dial that back and try doing something else around the wiki. If you do want to quit editing here, though, you shouldn't let me stop you, though I would encourage you to keep in mind that this isn't the only wiki out there; not only are there wikis for basically anything you might be interested in, but there are also websites that allow you to create your own wiki (I suppose the largest would be Wikia, but it's far from the only one), if you'd like a less frenetic environment to experiment with the tools and with editing in general in. ;) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 10:41, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, and sorry about that; it's a problem we've been experiencing on random pages for the past few months. It should be fixed now, though. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:32, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Template:Fullurl

I think equals signs still need to be escaped for some URLs, such as page diffs and many of the special pages. For example, try encoding http://www.minecraftwiki.net/index.php?title=Template:Fullurl/doc&curid=8864&diff=383405&oldid=144121. Using {{Fullurl|Template:Fullurl/doc|curid=8864&diff=383405&oldid=144121}} produces https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Fullurl/doc, losing the diff parameters. Applying the same treatment to diff= as you did to action= should make that work. Special pages with parameters aren't linked to very often, and don't all have a paremeter in common, so escaping their equals signs may be necessary. -- Orthotope 07:44, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes, in such cases, you still need to escape the equals signs; I only added a parameter for the case of the extra URL parameters starting with the "action" parameter, which should be the most common case by a reasonable margin. I considered adding parameters for the other URL parameters, but there are quite a few of them, and they're poorly-documented at best IIRC (not to mention that they may be changed or added to at any time, and at least a few of them are only valid in certain contexts...). Personally, I've never understood the point of using the template over the built-in {{fullurl:}} function anyways, since it does not save any typing whatsoever, and I certainly have no intention of ever using the template myself. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:47, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Suggestion for Fixing Problems that Numerous People Are Having

I have not been playing minecraft for very long, but I have come to enjoy the game with one exception, and that is the constant crashing. Through research and much time spent updating and modifying Minecraft, Java, my graphics drivers, etc., I have determined that the problem lies with the fact that Minecraft is simply not compatible with AMD Radeon drivers. I have done research online and there are numerous people in the same situation that I am. I have a Sony VAIO S Series laptop with Windows 7, 2.8 GHz AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics card with 1GB VRAM, 8GB RAM, and a 1080p HD display with 1920x1080 resolution. If it could be worked out so that there is a patch for Minecraft that will enable compatibility with these drivers, lots of people, including myself would be much happier with the Minecraft experience. As it is, I can run AOE 3 with full video capabilities but Minecraft crashes every 2-3 minutes on average. If this is a possibility I would appreciate it being developed. Thanks.

I appreciate your candor, but unfortunately there's nothing I can do in this regards: I am not a Minecraft developer, nor is any other regular contributor to this wiki or (AFAIK) the forum. Your best hope for getting this to Mojang, who can act on it, would be to post it in the forum and ask for help. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:12, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Missing

So what happened to Ultradude? He's gone missing. :P --M0rphzone(talk) 06:09, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Whoa, so he has. I had no idea. This isn't the first time he's disappeared like this, but I don't think he was gone this long last time, so I've shot him an email asking what's up. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:18, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
I forgot to update here. He emailed back; he's simply been too busy IRL to do anything with the wiki, and he's getting ready to take a bit of a wikibreak anyways. So nothing wrong, just real life catching up. =) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:21, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Purple Default Block:

I just noted that so people do not spam the talk section saying "This isn't a block" or "It's a glitch, not a block" because we know that already. and it does not matter to me if it gets merged or not, like i care. I just created the page because it is a cool glitch. Trigger hurt 21:48, 5 October 2012 (UTC) Whoops, forgot to sign my post.

Well, it's not a glitch per se, but rather one built-in method the game uses to handle glitches. ;) That aside, a note is fine as long as it's on the talk page and it makes clear that discussion related to the merge is still okay. =) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:38, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Generic phone image

Since you are an admin, can you revert File:Phone.svg to the image I uploaded and exercise your administrative power to protect the page from being reverted by immature kids like 007a83? I've already explained on the file talk page why the new image should be used, but he's just too stubborn and immature to listen. --M0rphzone(talk) 22:49, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

You have already asked Ultradude about this; at this point, I think what is needed is wider community input. I would recommend starting a discussion on the community portal and seeing which image the community prefers. In the meantime, I've added the image to my watchlist; if it starts getting reverted again I'll fully protect it - regardless of which version it is - until the discussion is resolved. Lastly, unless I'm mistaken, the licensing on the image refers specifically to the originally-uploaded iPhone lookalike version; is it correct for your version as well (in particular, did you make your version yourself (which allows you to license it however you like), or did you copy it from another site, or derive it from an image on another site (both of which require you to maintain the original licensing, and in both cases you need to link back to the source image), etc.)? ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:20, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
I originally asked him about it around 3 weeks ago, but he hasn't responded to any of my inquiries at all. As for the licensing, it's from Wikipedia as linked in the file description. That image is used in Wikipedia for generic smartphone articles, so I thought it should be a more appropriate image to use. I really don't see how it looks like an iPhone, since all smartphones pretty much look like that nowadays. And besides, that's not the point; I didn't upload it so we could use an iPhone-like image. --M0rphzone(talk) 06:07, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
As I said in my first reply, at this point you need to start a discussion with the wider community. I have no opinion on which image might be more appropriate for the wiki, though personally I prefer Ultradude's image since it is more realistically colored and doesn't have that monstrous border; in addition, it's PD (on that note, as long as that is the image which is live, the licensing needs to be adjusted appropriately) and I also notice that the Wikipedia image isn't actually used on any page - globally across all of Wikimedia - save a single project page on Meta. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 10:26, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
Man I can't believe I have to do something like this over some petty edit warring. But alright then, I'll do it anyway, even though it's a hassle trying to get community response from people who don't even participate. --M0rphzone(talk) 06:45, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
I find it ironic that you would refer to it as petty when you're one of the involved parties. Nevertheless, this is a standard dispute resolution step on many wikis large enough to need to worry about dispute resolution, so it will help you in the long run to get used to the idea. ;) ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:33, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
By the way, he hasn't responded because he's busy, not because he's ignoring it or doesn't care. --M0rphzone(talk) 06:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
I'm aware of the possible reasons for Ultradude's silence on the topic. I don't see what difference it makes, though. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:33, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Issues with controls =)

Okay so almost a two weeks ago, I was casually playing on a server, and my 'destroy' control (I don't know what you choose to use for it, but it's most commonly 'Left Click' or 'First Button'). I noticed that first, but my shift key and killing mobs didn't work as well, but everything else was fine. This was just on that server, but then after a couple of days I couldn't do it in survivor or other servers and after this long it's starting to get really annoying. Have you had problems like this before? Mzmackenzie Mzmackenzie 03:19, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

That sounds like a problem with your computer or mouse. Is it only your left mouse button that's affected? Does it only happen in Minecraft? ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:16, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Template:Version link

Can you please add a special prefix to the template so it accepts the word "Prerelease" with a dash? Like so: {{ #pos: {{{1}}} | Pre-release }}. Otherwise this: {{version link|1.4 Pre-release}} comes out like this: 1.4 Pre-release. -- Hower64 06:02, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Regardless of the merit of your ideas, the Minecraft Wiki is not the place to suggest new features for Minecraft; not only are none of the active editors here Mojang employees, but said employees generally don't pay any attention to comments left on the wiki. If you want to propose ideas, you'll have better luck using Twitter, emailing Mojang employees, or posting on the official bug tracker. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:38, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

User:007a83

Sorry to bother you Dinoguy, but I think you're going to have to do something about 007a83's disruptive editing and revert warring. I've been patient about the image issue and avoided the revert war, except for the first time where he reverted with an unacceptable reason. As you've seen, he's been reverting nonstop and neglected to participate in the community discussion. As far as I'm know, he really should be temporarily blocked for disruptive editing and edit warring. If this is Wikipedia (and yes I know it's not), he would have been blocked a long time ago for disrupting the wiki and not having enough competence and maturity to act appropriately. --M0rphzone(talk) 23:24, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, unfortunately, as the notice at the top of this page says, I cannot offer any assistance for server issues. Your best bet would be to attempt to get in touch with one of the server ops, who if nothing else could at least provide more information about the block. There are also plenty of other servers that could be played on; I personally would probably not consider it worth my time trying to get unblocked from a specific server when there're so many others to choose from.

Could I have a couple of renames please?

When I started working with Opaquer on anvil research, I made the mistake of putting my notes in Mental Mouse/Anvil mechanics. Later I started on an actual rewrite of the Anvil mechanics page, and I had to put that in Mental Mouse/Anvil rewrite, and it's been bugging me ever since. Could I trouble you to fix that up, moving Mental Mouse/Anvil mechanics to Talk:Mental Mouse/Anvil mechanics, then Mental Mouse/Anvil rewrite to Mental Mouse/Anvil mechanics? Naturally, I'd want the pages' history to go with them. --Mental Mouse 03:32, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
