Weekly pages

Like zh wiki, pages of the week is shown. Could you do the same for the English wiki? 2001:4456:C7E:1400:D0BF:B3D:510E:B64C 08:50, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Um, what is the point of this comment? Sorry if that was offensive, but I don't really understand what you're trying to say. --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 10:34, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Do you mean you want to promote him to be an admin? Wilf233_zhMCW（论·功） 10:42, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi, MetalManeMc here. I appreciate attention, but I'm not sure why a new EN admin is needed. I'm not even the most active admin on FR. I'm curious why you think it would be a good idea to nominate me apart from me meeting the minimum requirements. –MetalManeMc, French Wiki admin (Talk to me!) 11:21, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, not to say that you're not a good editor, but why exactly? There are a lot of directors that would meet the requirements. But, to give the IP a point, (hem hem) "A larger administration board would be pretty good" or whatever it was by (I can't remember). So, I ask the IP editor, why exactly? -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  13:52, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I don’t think anyone should have administrator rights if they do not desire to have them.Drour1234 (talk) 14:27, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

That's true. Like, Dhranios demoted himself. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  15:13, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm an admin on the English Wikipedia, and resisted for a while being one here due to my fear of the workload, which is endless on Wikipedia. Once I became an admin on the Minecraft Wiki, I found that my life hadn't really changed. I rarely need to use my administrator rights to block users and protect articles. My most frequent use has been to delete pages that have been proposed for deletion. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:36, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Will we get a page subsection for the movie like with Legends, Story Mode, etc.?

Title says it all. I was going to make one for the Sheep at least but I don't want to rush head-on too much and don't want to get in trouble for that. Thanks! EnderSoul (talk) 13:47, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

We haven't decided yet I think. It's up for debate since we've only ever done new namespaces (subsection as you call it) for other games. However the movie is obviously the most important and notable non-game Minecraft media yet, and it would be great to document it as in depth as we do the game, which becomes a lot easier if it has its own namespace. So I am personally for giving the movie its own namespaces. - Harristic / Talk 13:51, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

A namespace... For one thing? Ok, and its characters and other things. But I think that it's a little bit like story mode. Is it not? -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  13:56, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean. There's things in the movie for pages to be made about. Basically the same deal as story mode, that game is 95% story, characters, and narrative like a movie. - Harristic / Talk 13:59, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Yeah. "Ok, and its characters and other things." But yeah, basically the same as story mode, except without the choices and the new episodes and the discontinuation... -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  14:08, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

I think it probably should be given a namespace, it's pretty relevant, and I'm sure there will be a lot to cover. It'd be difficult to differentiate the pages without it having its own namespace. Depending on how notable the movie is, I don't think it should be added to the main wiki page. Maybe with time, and once the movie comes out (obviously) it might deserve to have a main page section. FlashGiant (talk) 00:20, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Good point. I mean, my opinion hardly counts, as I'd probably not do anything with it... -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  00:31, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Your opinion counts just as much as anyone else’s. BrianGLHF (talk) 15:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't think we'll immediately need a new namespace for just the movie. I'd say that if individual articles about things in the movie are being made, they should first be in the main namespace at first, and if there end up being a lot, we can still discuss a new namespace later. However, if we opt to have a separate namespace for it, I think it'd be a good idea to have the namespace cover Minecraft media in general, rather than just one piece of media; for example, there's also other articles like MARILLA or Minecraft: Zombies Unleashed! that aren't directly affiliated with the game but rather the franchise as a whole. | violine1101 ^(talk) 15:07, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

I agree. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  15:10, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

I think brand is important here. The Zombies novels aren’t a franchise, they’re a trilogy of books, released under the normal Minecraft brand. The Marilla videos aren’t even physical media, they’re YouTube content that exclusively cover the main game. Having them under one banner implies they’re connected, which they’re not. The movie inherently isn’t part of that brand, in theory it could become its own series, and there are already a dozen repeat topics. The whole point of having namespaces is to avoid having everything in parentheses, it’s much more practical to look up Movie:Steve over Steve (A Minecraft Movie). Realshow19 (talk) 15:29, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I agree with "the movie isn't part of the brand" - it's still made in cooperation with Mojang, just like all the other media we cover on the wiki (otherwise we wouldn't cover it). What makes it different? Also, it being a series is just speculation, and unless a sequel is actually announced, that shouldn't be used as an argument. There's the upcoming Netflix series that has been announced as well, where that argument would be more applicable. | violine1101 ^(talk) 21:14, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Obviously the movie is a part of the franchise, but it’s not going to be under the normal brand. The movie has its own brand, just as Dungeons or Story Mode do. Realshow19 (talk) 21:52, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

This seems like the best plan of action to me as with a longer runway more consideration can be made as to what that space will be exactly. This way we will be more prepared to cross the Media vs. Movie bridge when we get there. BrianGLHF (talk) 15:53, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

What would the sheep article in the media namespace look like? For me personally, when I try to answer that question in my head the idea falls apart instantly.

I originally wrote a ton more in response here but I think my current thoughts on this situation can be summarised as: I think the namespace situation is going to be a little messy no matter what happens, because there will always be the question "If X has a namespace, why doesn't Y?" If the games have a namespace, why doesn't the movie? If the movie has a namespace, why doesn't the novels? And I think those are pretty good questions. For now though, I think we should just have movie articles in mainspace and see how it goes, see what people's opinions on the topic are when we have some articles with "(A Minecraft Movie)" in the title. - Harristic / Talk 16:29, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Yeah. Though I think that it's more practical to have a namespace for the movie, especially as it might be made a series. (Øscar said to me today, "that implies that there's more" when I told him what the title was) And as Realshow19 said, we have namespaces to avoid having stuff in parentheses. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  23:27, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

New template?

Following a forum discussion, the community agreed on how to denote something that is technically renewable via vault. What if the note was a template? I think that maybe it should be. Also, the note should specify that it is only renewable in Java Edition. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  19:07, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

What is this and how to access? Is it a template?

The situation is:

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:

This page is protected so that only administrators can edit it. (see the protection log)

• If you think something on the page should be changed, you can request this on the article's talk page.

• You can discuss the page's protection on the article's talk page, the admin noticeboard, or contact an administrator directly.

2001:4456:C7F:EF00:9061:DDFC:B88A:4496 10:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

What exactly is your question? This text is from MediaWiki:Protectedpagetext, which essentially functions as a template. It shows up whenever you try to edit a page that has been protected such that only administrators can edit it. This currently applies to, for example, the MCW:Wiki rules. If you want to propose a change to that page, you can do so on its talk page. If you think a page is wrongfully protected, you can ask on the MCW:Admin noticeboard about it. | violine1101 ^(talk) 10:12, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Templates in old page versions

When looking at old versions of pages (e.g. https://minecraft.wiki/w/Flint_and_Steel?oldid=206547), templates can be broken, in this case the crafting grid. Is this a limitation of the software or could that be fixed? Fabian42 (talk) 01:21, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't know, but it could be because it was broken at the time. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  01:23, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

That's a limitation of the software, old revisions are shown with the wikitext and templates parsed as it would be now. But the wiki evolves, old templates get renamed or receive major changes, so old revisions will always start looking broken. -- MarkusRost (talk) 04:05, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Category not working

I'm trying to make {{Finnish translation/Navbox blocks}} add page (for example MCW:Projects/Finnish translation/Kivi) to Category:Finnish translation/Kuutiot with {{lcl}} inside of {{Finnish translation/article other}} with added number 4 (I think it's MCW namespace). Miner (talk) 14:18, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

All I know is that yes, 4 is Minecraft Wiki namespace. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  14:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Im Wired In. Now it's working. What is {{#pos: {{PAGENAME}} | / }} that you commented out? Miner (talk) 14:43, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

No problem. That was checking to make sure the page wasn't a subpage before adding the category. For the translation projects, every page is a subpage, so categories would never be added. --Im Wired In (talk) 14:49, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Also {{ll}} doesn't work inside of category pages. For example in page Category:Finnish_translation/Rakennelmiin generoituvat kuutiot there's ll trying to add link to "Generoituneet rakennelmat" but it adds it to subcategory of "Finnish translation/Rakennelmiin generoituvat kuutiot/Generoituneet rakennelmat". Is it possible to fix it or should I use [[MCW:Projects/Finnish translation/Generoituneet rakennelmat]] Miner (talk) 14:58, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

{{ll}} makes the link relative to the page it gets used on. It won't work for linking across namespaces. Would need to either manually link it or possibly make a new template for this use case. --Im Wired In (talk) 15:15, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Look at Category:Finnish translation/Kuutiot that uses navbox that uses ll so there are links missing in headers. So annoying. I think ll should be edited to work across namespaces. (I think it works if it replaces Namespace: with MCW:Projects/ in other namespaces than MCW) Miner (talk) 12:04, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

I've fixed {{ll}} to now allow linking across namespaces. Also created Module:Language link to make linking to translation projects from modules easy. --Im Wired In (talk) 07:56, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I have two other problems:

1. In start of MCW:Projects/Finnish translation/Java Edition Classic there's Classic oli Minecraftin (Java Edition) kehityssyklin toinen vaihe... The word "kehityssyklin" should link to Java Edition#Kehitys and there is {{ll|Java Edition#Kehitys|kehityssyklin}} but it links to Java Edition (without the hash part #Kehitys)

2. Also {{Finnish translation/el}} links to english page. (example: {{Finnish translation/el|java}} -> Java Edition) Miner (talk) 11:37, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Both of those issues should now be fixed as well. --Im Wired In (talk) 21:47, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Do you know what's happening with this? Why are there template code before output Tulukset

• Tulukset

{{Finnish translation/drop|Item|Tulukset|id=flint-and-steel}} Miner (talk) 13:57, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Fixed, a pair of closing curly brackets was missing. --Im Wired In (talk) 15:17, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Is it possible to create template that works like this: {{lt|drop|Item|Tulukset|id=flint-and-steel}} -> {{Finnish translation/drop|Item|Tulukset|id=flint-and-steel}}? (ll for templates) Miner (talk) 14:20, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Tomorrow is our one-year fork anniversary

Tomorrow one year ago, we have moved to this new wiki. I have made a draft for a news article about this, similar to the one we had shortly after we forked last year. It's supposed to be short but sweet, and especially straightforward to understand for non-editors. If you have any suggestions, feel free to edit the page (but it shouldn't become too long, and very wiki-specific stuff should go into the next MCW:Recap anyway).

Regarding timing, the original plan was to publish this the coming weekend, since it's better to publish stuff on weekends. But that plan was made before Minecraft Live 2024 was announced, so it's now a terrible idea to do any publicity then. Nevertheless I think it'd be good to get the word out again and do a kind of "victory lap" now that the new wiki has been running for a year (and especially advertize MCW:Indie Wiki Buddy again, it really helps us a lot more than you'd think). I'd propose that we should also change the sitenotice out for that occasion, with a link to that article.

Please let me know what you think or if you have any other suggestions :) | violine1101 ^(talk) 20:58, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

I can recall the exact time the fork went live. As such, I would say that the post would need to go live at September 24 at 17:50 Coordinated Universal Time to match the exact time the fork went live. Delvin4519 (talk) 21:28, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

That seems like a good time for such an announcement as well, let's target that! | violine1101 ^(talk) 23:26, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Target the time of posting the news, as in, let's try to publish that article on September 24 at 17:50 Coordinated Universal Time if possible. | violine1101 ^(talk) 23:31, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

I remember when we forked, I found a couple of Minecraft-related subreddits in which to make an announcment, and the moderator of one of them pinned it. Maybe that could be done again. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:59, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I still remember before we forked, when there was an outrageous amount of ads. I love the new wiki! Happy Fork Day! --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 02:09, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I remember that there was an awful amount of ads, I knew exactly how to get rid of the ones that I could... but it was still really annoying. I actually kept on using Fandom for a bit after the fork... but it's so much nicer now :D -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  03:29, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

No one cares about celebrating the fork. It happened and it was good. It does not need celebrating. It is best to forget Fandom. Forget the fork. Forget it all. That includes not celebrating the fork because in celebrating this, we are not forgetting it. And we should forget about it. Now. So just let it lie because remembering Fandom has NO impact on the future of this wiki at ALL.Drour1234 (talk) 03:42, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I understand your point, but I do not like you generalizing your opinion in the very first sentence of your comment. And Fandom will still exist, oh yes it will. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  03:45, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Fandom still has a massive impact on this wiki. Many people still don't know about the new wiki (I've seen countless posts online during the past year of people still using the Fandom wiki); the search results issues I mentioned in the article are one of the most important reasons for that. The main point of this "celebration" is to raise awareness in the wider MC community once again that we've moved. Editors of this wiki will of course know, but this article is aimed at readers, not editors. | violine1101 ^(talk) 09:57, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm all for celebrating the fork, but not the whole part about criticizing Fandom. Yes, it's funny, but extremely unprofessional and does not feel like what the wiki should promote. Yes, we hate Fandom, but now we left them, it's not our concern anymore. The page should be solely about how this wiki has done over the course of the year, and what we can do to continue making it better (including IWB). –MetalManeMc, French Wiki admin (Talk to me!) 05:45, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I mostly agree. While comparing us to Fandom is fair (after all it's objectively true that our pages are better than theirs - and it is in everyone's interest to promote the minecraft.wiki over the Fandom wiki), the wiki should be careful about how it should be phrased; we should not fall into a hate relationship. I'd rephrase the "Oh wait, you actually have to scroll down to find any info... if there was any..." and drop the "I made a screenshot, so you don't have to go there!" - it sounds a bit too passive-aggressive. - Zamburger (talk) 07:59, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I agree. It sounds WAY too passive-aggresive. (talk|contributions) 08:23, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I'm thinking of the following changes: First image description changed to: „The Fandom wiki continues to cover the new features although...”, Second image description changed to: „When we skip the advertising at the top there often isn't much there.”. I wanted to still convey the points in the original two descriptions (amount of ads, still lacking content - two truths in my opinion) while removing mostly punctuation and phrasing that could dictate emotions or direct the reader at specific feelings they should feel. It's more matter of fact now. Do you think it's acceptable Zamburger, ArduFish123? Frisk (talk) 08:36, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I think so. (talk|contributions) 08:39, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Yep, I like it more. It tells that it is bad without making it seem like we're hating on it. :) - Zamburger (talk) 08:51, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you two for replying. I've edited the page. Frisk (talk) 08:52, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for mentioning that. That note was intended to be funny/tongue in cheek, but I can definitely see how it doesn't look very professional. I don't really want to put much focus on "hating Fandom", hence also my note on the Fandom volunteers. Either way, the improved phrasing of the caption achieves the same thing while being a lot more neutral. | violine1101 ^(talk) 09:54, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Fandom definitely is our concern actually. The state of the Fandom wiki decides the state of our wiki, people still need to be moved from the Fandom wiki to our wiki, people still need to understand why they should even use our wiki. We simply must care about Fandom to a degree. I don’t like tip-toeing around criticising a site that needs to be criticised, that everyone understands our reason for criticising. We can rephrase some things, but I do not want to us to avoid criticising Fandom completely, the progress is simply more meaningful when being compared compared to what we left behind. I don’t think it’s unprofessional for the community-run resource to criticise the big company keeping us down for greed reasons. - Harristic / Talk 08:43, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I concur. Fandom is a problem in a wiki world and should be a target of criticism. While we have left, there are still many communities who do not like the state of Fandom and especially advertising and are stuck there because of lack of better alternatives. Fandom continues to harm those communities regardless of whether we have forked or not, and as we are part of larger community of fan wikis this is our concern as well. Frisk (talk) 08:47, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I agree to criticizing Fandom, just not in a passive-aggresive way. (talk|contributions) 08:57, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Yeah. It should be more like "Fandom isn't very good, as it isn't updated a lot and there are an awful lot of ads. And there's unmonitored vandalism, making it as bad as people say Wikipedia is. (Despite Wikipedia being an awesome source)" rather than "ugh, Fandom is terrible!!". -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  13:54, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

"Forking"

If I fork the old wiki from Fand. I can't migrate the old account to the new one. (I know you can do that here, but it's for other wikis.) How is it possible to add a feature that allows migration from the old wiki to the new one? Do you recommend forking, and how to do that? 2001:4454:355:FC00:3887:B0B8:C2DD:1EEA 23:11, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Adding MCW:Notability to sidebar

Seems like it's one of the more used guideline pages. It was originally in MCW:SG, but now they are split, it makes sense to include it separately. GIM Dianliang233 T C 07:22, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

weird block of purpur (deprecated purpur)

So I was playing on the consol Nintendo switch and I was messing around with the values of Purpur like 1,3,4,5,ect. but then I didn't notice it at first but a block called "tile.deprecated_purpur_block.name" was in my hand but when I had first found it was called "tile.purpur_block.name" but, the second time I joined that same world again it was called "tile.deprecated_purpur_block.name" so if anyone wants this block try value 8 or 7 (only in bedrock edition, on the Nintendo switch) 2600:387:15:3313:0:0:0:C 14:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

We should all be speaking Mandarin then. I took a Mandarin class once, and I was amazed how logical the sentence structure is. No irregular verbs. No different forms of verb tenses, you just add a modifier word like "I play this tomorrow" for future or "I wake two hours ago" for past. No plural noun forms, you just attach a modifier, like one cow, two cow, many cow. Learning the vocabulary is really hard, and the alphabet is ridiculous. After a thousand years or so, you'd think they'd have a more phonetic way to spell words now, like the Japanese have developed. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:02, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Is The Mojavatar Page is ready to ship out?

Hello everyone, I first wanna thanks to all the people who has participed on the the making of the Wiki Page for the Mojavatars.

After 1 day of editing, adding the images and writting up all the necessary information, I consider that all the providen information in the page is worth enough to ship it out to the public.

If anybody disagrees, I will love to discuss it out to solve it, but if not, I would love that any Moderator that see this Topic moves out the Page from Sandbox to his own and release it out to the public, please and thank you. ElMinehuy (talk) 17:28, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

@ElMinehuy: I made a small change, moving the trivia into the body text. I think it's ready to go. My only question is, should this be in article namespace or Minecraft Wiki namespace? I am not sure.

Color scheme is off?

Not sure if this has been discussed somewhere in the wiki before, but for me the colors of the wiki theme looks messed up. The grass is purple and the sky is orange. Was it dependent on my browser? Ooooooooo1 (T / C) 15:16, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps the mobile UI needs rework. I went on Minecraft Wiki on a computer and found out that the grass is populated by mushrooms and wither roses, and the wiki sported a new pumpkin logo.

Can I add info related to modding to the Brigadier page?

So I've recently gotten into doing some forge modding, and when I was going about adding commands to my mod I found that though Brigadier is open source, there isn't any documentation that I can find on its actual usage in Minecraft, not even tutorials on it on youtube (aside from a few on plugin development). Anyway, so I did manage to figure out Brigadier but I found myself struggling to know what argument types to use. I needed a string input to a command, and first I tried MessageArgument but it turns out you can't have an argument after that since it considers it still part of the message. Then I tried StringArgumentType.word() and it worked much better, but didn't allow multi-word inputs even with quotation marks. Then finally I found StringArgumentType.string() which worked perfectly for my needs. Anyway, all this to say I was wondering if I (or someone else) could add an Argument types / Java (language) usage section to the Brigadier wiki page, but I'm not sure if its allowed since its technically modding which is kinda unoffical and not really featured anywhere else on the wiki. TLDR; I couldn't find info on how to use Brigadier for MC mods on the web, and want to know if I can add a section on its Java (language) usage into its wiki page. ~~~ Brickyboy (talk) 21:38, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

This wiki doesn't document content added by mods, but I don't see an with documenting a Mojang-provided tool even if it's only applicable to modding, and it'd certainly be useful if there's no other easily accessible documentation on it. –⁠Sonicwave ^talk 01:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

So I would be allowed to add info on it to the wiki? That’s great, I haven’t even gotten around to asking the ftb wiki about it yet lol. I think it would be a really useful resource for other people, especially since the minecraft wiki is pretty high on search results. I’ll look at adding info in the next few days then probably. Brickyboy (talk) 07:36, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm curious tho, what mod loader did you use to try the Brigadier library, or did you use it in a standalone project? Outrowed (talk) 01:26, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I was using the Forge Mod Loaders (FML) Mod Development Kit (MDK) (1.20.1), which comes with the decompiled Minecraft code as well as brigadier, but unfortunately only comes with documentation on forge methods. Brickyboy (talk) 07:34, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm not very familiar with Forge though, but since both Fabric and Forge use Mojang's Brigadier for creating commands, I suggest you look outside Forge, and maybe read Fabric's own documentation on creating commands. They both share the same Brigadier classes and methods for creating commands, and the only difference might be how you would use Forge's internals and stuff. I also suggest looking into some of Mojang's implementation (decompiled code) of vanilla commands, e.g. /execute, /summon, /give, and etc., they should give you some good insights. Outrowed (talk) 12:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah that’s how I ended up figuring stuff out, but since not that many Minecraft commands actually used the code I was looking for I struggled to find it. Your right, the resources are there, but I thought it might be better to have a nice and simple and helpful resource somewhere findable like the Minecraft wiki Brickyboy (talk) 13:30, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

It's somewhat rare and unusual for the wiki to document such things like their Java usages (and likely the source code examples for that matter), since those are pretty much used for mod developers. But I'm a bit of an inclusionist, I see no harm in including them in this wiki, and you're right, it might be better to have it more discoverable on the Minecraft Wiki in the future. And of course, you're welcome to contribute. Outrowed (talk) 14:25, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Plural of Creaking

The plural of Creaking most commonly used on the wiki is Creakings, but to me it seems like it should be Creaking as well. Which one should be used? (talk|contributions) 21:05, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Err... Creakings I guess? I'm no professional. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  21:08, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

I would say it would be a crunch since that term is used by a Mojang employee.Drour1234 (talk) 23:39, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

It is only mentioned once in Minecraft Live as a joke, unless Mojang frequently use it on their articles, we shouldn't use that. Outrowed (talk) 00:23, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

It should be that, "Creakings". I don't know any real animal names that end with -ing and their plurative usage, but some animal like penguin, dolphin, and chicken end with -s as their plural form, e.g. penguins. Outrowed (talk) 23:47, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Based on Minecraft LIVE introduction of the mob, it is in my opinion that the mob is called The Creaking (singular) and The Creaking (plural). -BrianGLHF (talk) 00:57, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

First, I'd see what kind of term "creaking" is. If it's a countable verbal noun that describes each entity as its own thing, like "crossing" or "boarding", then the plural should similarly be "creakings". I prefer its option for its simplicity, because it's similar to how you usually talk about mobs/entities, and because I see no reason to think otherwise. I also believe there's no need to look for animals with such names specifically; non-animal objects should do. The article about the entity is currently written that way too.

If "The Creaking" is a noun that describes a collective/hivemind-like phenomenon of which every entity is one manifestation, making it "one of The Creaking", then there would be no plural, but the article would need to be rewritten; it's more than just a change of plural form, it's a change of how a term fits into a sentence. That said, I didn't notice anything that suggests this is how the entity should be treated.

I doubt it's worth considering the option that "the creaking" is an adjective used like a collective noun, like "the elderly". Maybe I shouldn't even have mentioned that.

"Crunch" is a collective term and not a plural; it's like a "pride of lions" or a "murder of crows". AttemptToCallNil (talk) 16:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

I like your argument. Plus "Creaking spawn from creaking hearts" just sounds wrong. It sounds like something a caveman would say... -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  23:16, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

If you want to help out the wiki, just pick an article that you're interested in. If you're interested in debugging features, you can start out with debug screen, or if you're interested UI/UX, you can help out with upcoming Bedrock UI redesign. If you have the Legacy Console Edition, you can expand out the Leaderboards and other LCE features. You can start helping out WIP articles in the Category:Work in progress, that's usually a best place to start.

I encourge you to read some of the articles, and visit one of the links inside them, sometimes, you can find out a section that feels incomplete, and needs some fixing.

That's my way of doing things in this wiki, and if you still can't find something to contribute on, you can see if someone is working on something in the Special:RecentChanges, and if you're feeling it, you can help them out too. Outrowed (talk) 00:53, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

The autopatrol right doesn't grant you any additional abilities and is not necessary for contributing to the wiki. To give some background, admins and editors with the patroller right have the ability to mark recent edits as "patrolled". This has no effect on the edit itself, and only indicates to other admins and patrollers that it has already been looked over, saving duplicate effort.

There's typically no need to review edits from active contributors who have been editing for a while and are familiar with the wiki. So, they're given the "autopatrol" right which automatically marks edits as patrolled, reducing the number of unpatrolled edits admins and patrollers see. This is all to say that "autopatrol" is ultimately not that significant and is simply to reduce someone else's workload, and wouldn't affect how you contribute to the wiki.

This help page lists a few categories for articles that need some improvement, which could be a useful place to start. Also, feel free to ask around here or in the wiki's Discord server if you're looking for something to work on or need pointers. –⁠Sonicwave ^talk 01:01, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

It's adding text [[Category:Käsittelee/Täsmennysmallineet|]] [[Category:Käsittelee/Yläviitteet|]] to end of page instead of adding to categories Category:Finnish translation/Täsmennysmallineet and Category:Finnish translation/Yläviitteet.

Should be fixed now --Im Wired In (talk) 15:13, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Miner(talk contributions) 12:54, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

I tried to fix it but there wasn't {{NS:}} around the word Project. Why is it required in it but not around Category? And look at Template:Finnish translation/Block. Section "Ei tule sekoittaa" uses finnish version of distinguish that uses ll. But {{ll}} doesn't work when linking to templates. Miner(talk contributions) 14:44, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

While we do document official add-ons, we have limited them to only a single page per MCW:Notability#Marketplace content as they can be very large and having pages for everything in them would create conflicts with vanilla content. -- MarkusRost (talk) 23:38, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Rules for renders, recreation images and cropped images to prevent bloat

With the user MinecraftFan1000 starting to add more and more images to the wiki I have that noticed that even though most of the stuff they do is in good faith, there is some bloat and unnecessary stuff that is happening. Many of the images that have been newly uploaded are cropped images of concept art and other Mojang screenshots, this has started to unnecessarily some pages an example of this is the MCD weapons concept art sheet being individually being cropped for each weapon. They have also recreated some pieces of concept art mob and blocks even though we have no idea what they would look like in pixel art form leading to speculative creative liberties an example of this is the allay concept art being recreated and aswell as Mob C from the mob vote. These are just a few examples. I believe we need rules for what images of renders need to be added, what stuff can be recreated to a degree and as well as a rule on banning cropping of concept art images into individual images. This can also stop other people in the future from adding unnecessary images.PotatoMan3525463 (talk) 14:33, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't much understand, but it looks like new rules are necessary here. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  14:38, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

I think a good starting point should be practicality. From my experience, generally recreations are used or made for history tables. Most of MinecraftFan1000’s renders have been for images released to the public after the final features were revealed, so they can’t go there. For some like the fox box glitch, I could see a case being made when it’s joked about a lot and has been seen from multiple angles that would bloat the fox gallery. Recreations of stylized item sprites on a T-shirt, not so much. Why make a new asset when you can just put the shirt itself there? It’s not like it was ever planned to be in the game, and it having less detail doesn’t really say anything.

For that matter, I think generally we should try to upload renders that can go on more than one page. There’s nothing wrong with having them on one, I upload niche images all the time, but with how many MinecraftFan1000 is making there’s not going to be many opportunities to put them on more. Even with subpages, galleries shouldn’t be every possible image of a subject, the current player and creeper pages being the best examples of that. Realshow19 (talk) 15:07, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Searching Entity303 redirects you to the Herobrine page, I think '303' should have its own page.

How to change Minecraft Education into Minecraft bedrock or Java

Yeah, what exactly are you asking? -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  23:17, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

No, you can't change Minecraft Education into Bedrock and Java Edition. These are separate games, and you must buy them separately. However, if you already owned Minecraft Education, you can play it like the normal game (if your school allows it), and the experience should be similar to Bedrock Edition, maybe with a couple of Education exclusive features. Outrowed (talk) 23:58, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

And you can also enable the Education Edition features from Bedrock Edition. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:28, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Yup, exactly. Although it is only a small subset of Education Edition features inside of Bedrock Edition. Outrowed (talk) 06:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Can I make entity sprites for addon mobs(Sample Packs,Poisonous Potato and party supplies)

This for reduce the number of symbols and for all Mobs have faces? 188.162.186.37 15:18, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

I'd say "no" for the same reason we don't have assets for mods on the Java side.. This wiki is for documenting the official Minecraft features, not third-party things. If an add-on was produced by Mojang, then yes we can create assets for this Wiki to describe that add-on.

Otherwise, supporting third party add-ons would become an unmaintainable mess, with the potential for this wiki to become a promotional platform for add-on creators. It's bad enough that Youtubers abuse the tutorials here to promote their videos. We don't need to compound the problem. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:08, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Book license

Can we upload images from The World of Minecraft? It's not from the game. Does license mojang still apply? GIM Dianliang233 T C 00:32, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

The book is official, so yes, anything from it should be licensed to Mojang. As for pages, I would recommend only uploading any that have been officially shared. You can have a lot of content from a book, but the articles shouldn’t be a replacement for reading the real thing. That would be piracy. Realshow19 (talk) 00:43, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm not a IP lawyer, but I'd imagine it would be fine to use some images only on the article about the book. Maybe we should seek one out to ask for clarification on what's legal rather than guessing or assuming. -BrianGLHF (talk) 00:54, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

 Agreed Realshow19 (talk) 01:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

IMO it would probably be also fine to include small snippets from the book (e.g. concept artwork) about a certain mob (or item or block) on its page, although I do agree that we should avoid including large parts of the book on the wiki. If clarification with Mojang is desired, we can reach out to them. | violine1101 ^(talk) 21:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

About the chinese stuff on the wiki that is flagged as delete

Okay, I need to clarify something, the Chinese stuff that is flagged as delete are vanilla in Minecraft China Edition should NOT be deleted. Well, what about all of the other things that are not vanilla, most of them are not even made by Mojang themselves. There are sprites on entitysprite/entitylink which are robot-minecon, mega-mobbo, and mobbo which are not flagged a delete. There is even a page that has nothing but information from a fan-made YouTube video and a mob from a content creator that makes stuff not even are vanilla in any way that is not also flagged as delete. Please just stop amusing things like this and check if it is correct or not with reliable sources. 245e (talk) 19:43, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Mobbo is in fact a character that appears in Mojang media, so it is notable enough to have a separate page. I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about with the "fan-made YouTube video". When it comes to the additions from Minecraft China that are not in the base game but instead added in an add-on: these pages are allowed, but MCW:N#Marketplace content applies. This means there should be one article about the add-on, and not separate pages on the different things included in it. | violine1101 ^(talk) 20:22, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

This is the link I was talking about Java Developer Tools. The big thing that was mostly trying to highlight is all of the entity sprites that I manually gave a template page. They should still exist as sprites and not be deleted. Also, Minecraft Earth sprites need their own template pages which I was thinking about doing but the change will be too tedious to do on my own. 245e (talk) 20:34, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

The Java Developer Tools are not in the distributed game, but it's confirmed that they are actually part of the development version of vanilla Minecraft Java Edition; see also this video featuring a Minecraft dev talking about parts of these dev tools. I agree the article is not very good and could be improved, but it is notable. I'm not sure how Minecraft Earth relates to this discussion at all. | violine1101 ^(talk) 20:55, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Really there should only be a separate template for Earth sprites. Earth is a game that used the Bedrock engine, but it’s not a version of vanilla Minecraft. China Edition is, you can play normal Minecraft worlds in it, but there’s extra content by the localization team so the game can appeal more to Chinese audiences. It’s not supposed to be seen as its own thing, it’s just not talked about much outside of its target market. If there’s going to be sprites of its mobs, they should be on the regular template. Realshow19 (talk) 21:14, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Minecraft Dungeons,Legends,Earth and Story Mode Mojang are not made by Mojang, but they are official, the same with Sample Packs,Party Supplies and Poisonous Potato Add-ins.This Add-Ons are official and they have only one page (MCW:N#Marketplace content) Buzzilaa (talk) 20:32, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

All these games (except Story Mode) are all made by Mojang, they just have been co-developed with another studio, thus they absolutely are first-party content. On the other hand, addons on the marketplace are not developed by Mojang at all, just marketed by them, making those second-party content. | violine1101 ^(talk) 22:11, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Since it is illegally leaked content. (talk|contributions) 21:01, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

We already have leaked content on this wiki that is illegal.

1. "The wiki has pages mentioning leaked Bedrock development/marketplace builds that the public was never supposed to have. On the Reinforced Deepslate page under the trivia section, there is a picture of an unused reinforced deepslate type that has a hole at the top. That came from one of those leaked Bedrock development/marketplace builds. There's more though. The build called that block "Sculk Portal." This confirms that the structure in the deep dark with the reinforced deepslate in it is indeed a portal. The list of historical block textures page shows the cut texture with that name."

2. File:Firefly.gif actually came from a Bedrock development/marketplace build that was leaked (aka illegal). The comment on the file literally says, "Official texture from bedrock edition leak."

Why are these allowed to be on the wiki? Minermatt122514 (talk) 21:09, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

I expect it is because no one noticed them. (talk|contributions) 21:19, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't think the wiki stressed about leaks until 2023, because that's when significant leaks began and have since not stopped. Those examples are likely on the wiki because they were added before then. I'll have to look into them soon. - Harristic / Talk 21:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

If something is not covered by the wiki, be bold and add it. This is not required in this case as Conduit already states that. (talk|contributions) 19:10, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

The info is indeed already there in Conduit#Attacking mobs. I've moved it to a dedicated subsection to make it easier to locate while skimming the page.

They pretty much must always be 16x16, but in this specific case with the turtle block it's fine to use the 24x24 texture if that's the block texture size, there's not much else that can be done. - Harristic / Talk 22:06, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Okay, thanks.

I changed beginner's turtle to it's original 24x24 texture because I couldn't get the eyes to look right when scaled down to 16x16, but I kept turtles and advanced turtles as their scaled down versions.

Hardness and blast resistance for the new resin blocks are missing from their respective modules

Hello, I just noticed that the infoboxes on the resin pages show "?" under the hardness and blast resistance. Apart from knowing that the instabreak blocks have hardness and blast resistance of 0, I have no idea about the values of the other blocks. Can someone check the code? I'm not sure if that's possible in Bedrock Edition, and once the blocks are released in Java Edition, I'll try to check it myself. --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 10:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

I was going to try find the hardness values until I remembered that the blocks aren't in Java. I imagine that's why the hardness values haven't been added yet, but we should get the blocks in Java tomorrow thankfully. - Harristic / Talk 22:04, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

@Harristic: Have you found the values yet? 24w44a has alreadly dropped. --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 07:37, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I went to look for them and realised I have no idea where they are found in the files, I couldn't find them. - Harristic / Talk 12:40, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

You have to decompile the game; the values are located in net\minecraft\world\level\block\Blocks.java. For most blocks, you'll find something like this:

public static final Block RESIN_BRICKS = Blocks.register("resin_bricks", BlockBehaviour.Properties.of().mapColor(MapColor.TERRACOTTA_ORANGE).instrument(NoteBlockInstrument.BASEDRUM).requiresCorrectToolForDrops().sound(SoundType.RESIN_BRICKS).strength(1.5f, 6.0f));

where the first value (1.5 in this case) is hardness and the second value (6.0) is blast resistance.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 13:47, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I know that https://mcasset.cloud has the minecraft files decompiled, but I can't find the hardness values there; can you tell me which folder it's in? --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 08:41, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

It only has the assets and data folders, not the decompiled code, you can't find it there. I use this to decompile Minecraft and look into the code https://github.com/hube12/DecompilerMC --Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 10:52, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Wait, how can the decompiled code exist if Minecraft is closed-sourced? Like how's that legal? --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 10:29, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Decompiling for personal use is fine, and Java is relatively easy to decompile. Minecraft's code is obfuscated, meaning you get meaningless class and function names if you try to use a generic decompiler, but the community and Mojang themselves provide obfuscation maps to make the job easier and get readable code.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 13:15, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

2 questions

1) On mobile, when I click the notifications button, it sometimes shows the notifications quick menu thingy, but at other times, it takes me to Special:Notifications. This inconsistency is annoying, but why does it even happen? Is there a way to write a .js in my userspace to fix this? 2) Also on mobile (I think), when I'm editing, it sometimes forcibly scrolls down when I type in a character. Why does this happen and is there a way to disable this by writing a .js in my userspace? -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  03:26, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

For the second one, I think that's your keyboard focusing on the line you're typing, so it forces your screen to scroll down to that line. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to fix that in .js userspace without using some hacky workaround. Outrowed (talk) 05:17, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

The "Changes" section in release/developmental release pages should not contain images unless they are related to texture changes, in which case an image can be added if necessary. If images are present in changes unrelated to texture changes then sure, remove them. - StizzurpXDD^(talk) 11:50, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you.

Reason : Issue Fixed

I have been trying for quite some time to place the position of the user boxes on my User page below the infobox but I have failed till this point. I have tried spaces but I do not like the empty space that it leaves which I want to fill with an image but it just shifts the user boxes below the image. Please tell me a fix to this.

You can put your user boxes between "<div class="tright">" and "</div>". - Zamburger (talk) 13:45, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

It worked! Thank you for your help. (talk) 11:31, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

You can add "clear: both;" into the style attribute of your userbox table (also have you noticed that your signature links to the file page instead of user page) Miner(talk contributions) 13:47, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I hadn't. Thanks for letting me know.

Edit Hovering info when viewing a page

Heya ! How do we edit the info when Hovering a link redirecting to a page ? Because a lot of times it contains obselete info (like the hovering info about 1.21.2) so how do we edit it ? Thx for the help. ElGrenier (talk) 17:59, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

What appears while hovering is taken directly from the page, so the hovering information cannot be edited without just editing the page itself. - Harristic / Talk 18:18, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, it don't seems so, because the page has been modified, but the info is not, so where it is located ? And if its really on the page, where can i find it ? ElGrenier (talk) 20:41, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

(sorry for my grammar or the way i wrotten my respouns, english is not my first language) ElGrenier (talk) 20:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

The link preview is cached, so it takes some time after the page was changed to update as well. We can force update the preview for some pages if needed, though in most cases just waiting a bit for it to update automatically is enough. -- MarkusRost (talk) 22:41, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

My parents ban the use of Fandom, Is this okay to use?

I'm a young teenager who likes to use wikis, My parents don't allow me to use Fandom, because of high levels of toxicity. Should I be scared to use it? I know they use Wikipedia occasionally for viewing. 2604:2DC0:202:200:0:0:0:353 18:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm talking about this wiki. 2604:2DC0:202:200:0:0:0:353 18:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, but none of us know what your parents will think of this wiki. Though Fandom is half-social-media, and this wiki isn’t, so that’s something to consider. - Harristic / Talk 18:25, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

They allow most social medias, but they block a few. Fandom is blocked. 51.81.200.11 19:29, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! This wiki is not part of Fandom (at least not anymore), and it was forked from Fandom a little over a year ago. This new wiki has no ads (as of time of writing), no sensible content, nor does it ask you your age (kid or adult). I hope this clears things up a little bit! (talk|edits) 19:35, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

This wiki is better than the Fandom one? I absolutely hated having to go through the DREADED child or adult verification when visiting pages. 51.81.153.189 19:42, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

In a way, you could say that it is [better], but that is a personal opinion (shared by many users on this wiki). (talk|edits) 19:44, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

However, is there any timeline whether the Fandom wiki will revive? I hope not. I used to use Fandom back in the day, but due to extreme toxicity and high levels of vandalism/trolls, I quit in May 2022. I used to work on many Fandom wikis. Nowadays, I use other websites, like Miraheze, Shoutwiki, or others. 51.81.153.189 20:05, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

If you look at a page on the Fandom Minecraft Wiki (see this screenshot) it has minimal content, and the Fandom wiki will be completely devoid of knowledge in a little while. (talk|edits) 20:19, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I know the wiki won't shut down. Will it essentially be left to rot until nothing of it is left? 51.81.153.189 20:27, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Probably, yeah. It is unfortunate that Fandom refuses to shut down the old wikis... -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  20:31, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Autoconfirmed users having the ability to move pages without leaving a redirect

Hi, 245e here, I noticed that autoconfirmed users can't move pages without leaving a redirect anymore. It was fine before the change was made. I know that I was making a lot of mistakes with moving sprite names. The errors I made can be fixed and are not hard to do so. The point I am trying to point out is that the change should be reverted. I am trying to clean up small things that aren't very noticeable lately. The change does not help with some of it. It includes something like switching the sprite names that aren't needed anymore so the proper names that are redirects and the actual image names that aren't needed to be switched so the improper name can be deleted without deleting the image. Please discuss this here, it is at least a start to this issue. 245e (talk) 19:23, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Please use {{move|File:TemplateSprite new-name.png|reason=Overwrite file redirect to new name}}, on the file you want moved, and someone with more advanced rights can move the file for you. The ability to move without redirect has been abused in the past. Delvin4519 (talk) 21:38, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Wait, I don't think autopatrol users can overwrite redirects... I think that's restricted to admins. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  22:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Should we add changes for upcoming features to existing pages as a separate section, or integrate them into the articles?

I wasn't sure, so I just wanted to ask here first before I made changes to the Wandering Trader article. Indigoid (talk) 21:19, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

You can add future changes in the main content of a page as long as it's clearly marked as upcoming (using the {{upcoming}}, {{onlyUpcoming}}, or {{inUpcoming}} templates). If upcoming changes deeply affect a feature's behavior you might want to keep them in a dedicated section, but it's not the case for the wandering trader.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 21:38, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

can you directors help with this

My account, IloveJesus223 is inactive cuz, i cant remember my password. Can u possibly help by making a feature where you dont have to enter yo email address and use bluetooth or somthing instead? Thank you!

73.50.157.44 19:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't think that's possible... But I'm not a director, but this also isn't something directors can help with, I don't think. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  20:35, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

It's impossible to do so I think. You can reset your password if you have the email. Not even huge websites like Microsoft allow for password resets without an email or a phone. Also making an entire feature just because you forgot your password is not ideal.
