Critical Reception

The part of the critical reception section that mentions the Pocket Edition seems to be outdated. Recently, more content has been added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.236.50 (talk) 16:53, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Please add a Further Reading section with the following

These could equally go in the See Also section that is already there. I think these are the only books of critical scholarship.

Wii U Version

I read the article and it gave almost no information about the Wii U version so could someone please add information about the Wii U version? --Littlelum (talk)

not showing in the source

"Markus "Notch" Persson began developing the game as an independent project while working for King.com and later jAlbum." according to this sources http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/27719/Interview_Markus_Notch_Persson_Talks_Making_Minecraft.php and https://minecraft.net/en/ which is not showing according to the sources please fix it or give source that supporting this claim.

Origination of name

Should we credit the originator of the name "Minecraft", as agreed by Notch on the original forum post? https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=6273.40

(Second to last post on that page) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.8.253 (talk) 21:12, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

I would like to point out that in the Devolopment section, it says nothing about how it wasn't called Minecraft at that point. At that that point Notch referred to the game he was making as the "Cave Game." I was going to add that particular bit of info, and some other stuff, but found I couldn't edit this article. I guess it's a protected article? Anyway here are a few of my sources: http://minecraftanswers.answers.wikia.com/wiki/What's_minecraft's_first_name http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Minecraft#Creation Zdude001 (talk) 21:24, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Can somebody change the first paragraph?

I'd like the first paragraph to be changed to

Minecraft is a sandbox video game originally created by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later developed and published by Mojang. The creative and building aspects of Minecraft enable players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and combat. Multiple gameplay modes are available, including survival mode where the player must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health, a creative mode where players have unlimited resources to build with and the ability to fly, an adventure mode where players can play custom maps created by other players, and a spectator mode where players can fly around and clip through blocks, but cannot place or destroy any. The players can join multiplayer servers, which are often customized using plug-ins. Some of these servers are more PVP orientated, some involve aspects of Survival, Creative and Adventure mode, some have a built in economy, and some of them contain built in mini games. The PC version of the game is renowned for its third-party mods, which can add, but are not limited to adding, various new items, characters, worlds, quests, and dimensions to the game.

In case I need to source the information, here's a link to my source. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Server An awsome person (talk) 22:40, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

• It's too wordy for an introduction to the game. Half of these concepts make no sense to somebody new to gaming, and most of this is just a worse way of stating the same info. Also an external wiki can never be used as a source. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 23:02, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Why no one talked about wurm online?

Hi,

Before Notch starts minecraft, he created a game named Wurm Online with Rolf in which basically a hardcore mmorpg minecraft. After they disagree on how the game shall run (Most likely Rolf want it focus on pvp and battle while Notch see the possibilities with terraforming and easier gameplay), Notch left and start creating minecraft. Why is this history MISSING everywhere beside on wurm and some old internet arhives?

Can someone tells me if this is conspiracy or it just 'winner declare history'?

regards, rose rosespambox@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.85.64.170 (talk) 12:22, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

It's not included here because it has no real relevance to the topic of Minecraft. The fact that Notch was involved in Wurm Online is already noted in that article, and it is mentioned at his article as well. -- ferret (talk) 15:09, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Template for the Awards.

Could we add a template for the Awards instead of just including the awards in paragraphs? I'm trying to keep things up to date and on track with the news that's related to video games.

Merge Minecraft: Educational Edition into this article

I propose to merge Minecraft: Educational Edition into Minecraft#Minecraft: Education Edition because they are about the same subject and the the section about Minecraft:Education Edition has better sourcing here.

The Totem Of Undying

The Totem Of Undying was added as a feature in Minecraft long after Minecraft was first released. The Totem of Undying can prevent a player from a possible death. However, if you're in Survival Mode, and you risk yourself whilst holding a Totem of Undying, there is a chance the Totem will not save your life. You can get a Totem of Undying by killing an Evoker. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmsambodiac (talk • contribs) 09:07, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

It would have to get covered by reliable sources first. Otherwise, the page linked would fail WP:NOTGUIDE as it only has instructions. There's a lot of game guide-y material out there and we almost never include it. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 20:52, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Pocket Gamer is a reliable source though, I just checked the list. TheJoebro64 talk 06:36, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

I mean sources that give significance to this particular content (i.e., DScraft, which is a non-official free alpha version of Minecraft ported to DS). There are hundreds if not thousands of articles detailing various mods, ports and other projects. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:00, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Windows Phone 10 still supported

Under the Pocket Edition section of the page in the very last sentence, it's mentioned that the Windows Phone is no longer supported. However, that statement is misleading as only Windows Phone 8.1 support was dropped. The Windows Phone 10 version is still receiving and will continue to receive updates according to: the Windows Store from which the latest version can be downloaded for Windows Phone 10, an official blog post, and a Minecraft Staff member and employee of Microsoft on the Minecraft feedback website. The statement in question should be changed to say that Windows Phone 8.1 support in specific was dropped, and not Windows Phone support as a whole. Farquall (talk) 01:22, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Doing a bit more research, it seems most all news articles on the topic (including the Ars Technica source cited in the page) are basing the claim that Windows Phone is no longer supported on the same anonymous tip reported in a Windows Central article, and not an public official source or statement. Public official sources and statements say Windows 10 mobile will continue to receive updates, and that Windows Phone 8/8.1 is no longer supported. Farquall (talk) 03:48, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

The Info on here is terribly incorrect.

So apparently the Android version came out a month before the PC edition. 212.67.123.242 (talk) 11:24, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, from what I gathered from this article itself, the full version for PC was released on 18 November 2011, after the Android version. What came out on 17 May 2009 was the development release. Then the game entered beta testing phase on 20 December 2010 and stayed like that till 18 November 2011. So, no, it's not actually "terribly incorrect". -- ChamithN (talk) 11:41, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, the development section explains the game's release timeline. The infobox only lists the full version releases. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 13:29, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

On the Switch version...

@Mlpearc:, you may be confused about what WP:NOT#CRYSTAL is to prevent. It would be a violation of CRYSTAL to speculate that "Minecraft 2" is coming in the future, for example. However, when a company in an official capacity and in a manner that meets WP:V has said they will be releasing a version of an existing game for a new platform with an anticipated release year, that's completely fine. That's how most articles on upcoming events like film, television shows, sporting events, elections, and the like work. Should plans change from that official announcement, we adjust appropriately. --MASEM (t) 00:02, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

@Masem and Mlpearc: Also, it isn't much speculation either. On the official Nintendo website, there is a listing for Minecraft on the Switch as well as Minecraft Story Mode - The Complete Adventure for the Switch. In the "Console" section under "Release," it does make sense to leave out the Switch version since it has not been released; however, if the Switch version is left out of the article, why is it still listed under Platforms in the infobox? No dates have been given yet, besides it scheduled for sometime in 2017. I'm slightly new to Wikipedia so forgive me if I wasn't supposed to cite or link to websites/articles in talk pages. TheAnonymousNerd (talk) 00:35, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Edit request for addition of book

The biography that narrates Persson's development of minecraft should be added to the cultural impact section. As an employee of the publisher, I have an obvious conflict of interest. Below is my suggestion:

Aside from numerous books focused on the games content, the game has also inspired the experienced journalists Daniel Goldberg and Linus Larsson to write a biographical history following Persson's development of the game, titled Minecraft. Ssintern (talk) 14:54, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

• Shouldn't this be used as a source instead of a generic blurb about biography being written? ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 17:31, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Discovery Update

A follow-up to my previous edit request. I still believe there is sufficient reason to include mention of the recent Minecraft Discovery Update in this article. The reason I am coming to the talk page for this is because I do not know how I would write the article in a way that meets guidelines.

GA Reassessment

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Minecraft/GA3. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

It is to my dismay that I am nominating this article for GA reassessment. I have noticed several problems with it that appear to cause issues with the GA criteria.

• First, I think the lead is too short, spends to much time on gameplay, and doesn't adequately summarize the article (development, other versions, etc.)
• Numerous sentences are unsourced (I've added around three or four CN tags today alone), vague, poorly worded, or are riddled with typos and other issues (most I saw are in the console versions section).
• I counted four single sentence paragraphs.
• Almost very single minor gameplay mode has a sub-section in gameplay. I mean, I can understand survival and creative, but adventure? And spectator? I also think this section needs some cleanup and trimming, as it goes into unnecessary detail.
• Source #125 ([1]) looks to be a Microsoft fansite, which is questionable.

Unless these problems can be addressed, I feel an urge to delist this as a good article. ~ TheJoebro64 (talk) 16:04, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

• • Unless I'm misunderstanding the GAR process, wouldn't it just be a better use of time if you were to fix the issues yourself? What's the purpose of having it demoted from GA status without fixing any of the issues that led to it? Most of the "issues" you raised are easily fixable with just a bit of cleanup, and why even mention an unreliable source instead of simply replacing it. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 19:08, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

I fixed your issues. I agree with Dissident93; Fix any simple problems yourself. The only issues I still see are the See also section having only one link and many many copyedit problems. Wumbolo (talk) 16:16, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Looking at the article now, I noticed a major issue. The reception section is incomplete. It only covers the reception for three releases of the game; Wii U, PlayStation, 3DS, etc. are nowhere to be seen. JOEBRO64 19:41, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

That's not a major issue because, as we know, the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game are identical (as well as the 3DS and Vita versions), and the Xbox One, PS4, Wii U versions are also identical (and additionally identical to Win10 and Mobile versions as well). Since these are the only two differing versions from the Java version, they have been covered in that section since they run identically to platforms which have been listed in that section. Chieftain Tartarus (talk) 09:31, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

• Speedy Close This is currently remaining as an open task on the WP:VG page but no one has contributed to this discussion (excluding myself) for a while. I believe this discussion should be closed. Chieftain Tartarus (talk) 09:17, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
• The article should cover how the software has become a service, given the wide variety of platforms on which it appears. If not explicitly, then would suffice to cover why the title was ported to these platforms and their effects (not just release dates). This is basic breadth within the scope of what a "Good Article" must cover. Yes, Be bold and fix minor points, but the Reception section is clearly short of GA quality for a topic of this stature. Nothing wrong with calling attention to that. (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 08:00, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

• @Czar: Is it not obvious as to why it was ported? If by calling it a service you are referring to how it is continually upgraded and updated, then I would agree with you that the article should cover that issue. However I would suggest that the platform releases do not need to be discussed in such detail as to the 'effects' of their releases as they've all more or less had the same effect (excluding the educational edition). I think it would suffice to mention the effects of the java edition, the C++ edition (which is essentially all of the other editions) and education edition rather than to go into every detail for the nearly 20 versions of the game. Chieftain Tartarus (talk) 09:36, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

The quantity of Minecraft ports is on par with Doom. There is plenty to be said about the basic differences between ports

Have you ever heard the saying, "There's no such thing as bad pizza?" No matter what, pizza's good by virtue of being pizza. A similar thing could be said for the many different versions of Minecraft. There really isn't such a thing as "bad Minecraft," just versions that aren't as good as the others. That's why, in spite of its many shortcomings, the New 3DS version is still an enjoyable Minecraft experience, even though it's not a great version.
— IGN on New Nintendo 3DS

A big part of Minecraft's success is how the game is available on basically every platform you can think of.
— Engadget on Apple TV

Not that each version needs a deep dive, but if the critical consensus is that the portable and microconsole versions share deficiencies, or if some versions excel at aspects of gameplay that others don't, that needs to be covered for basic breadth. czar 10:50, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

• Also basic updates since the article first hit GA, like reducing the emphasis on announcement dates throughout in the development so it doesn't read like a blow-by-blow, and instead explaining aspects like how it isn't fully cross-platform, how the iOS release has dominated the sales charts, how it spawned mobile-specific clones (sales figures and clones are PC-centric right now, discounting the past several years) czar 11:06, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

• I've just done a read-over of the article, and I'm still not convinced this is GA-level stuff. In addition to the reception section being incomplete, the development section barely even talks about how they made the game, and there are numerous unsourced statements. Also, I'm seeing weasel words like "it was announced" and entire sections composed of just release dates. The lead also doesn't really do a good job of summarizing the article (and if it does, then holy moly this article's missing a lot of information). Czar, any objections if I delist this now? JOEBRO64 13:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

The point of the GAR is not necessarily to delist but to give page watchers a target for cleanup when the issues are substantial. Usually it's best to raise these points on a talk page before advancing to a formal process like GAR. Above, page watchers said to have addressed the minor issues soon after you raised them, so it's only fair to give them time to address the points I just articulated for the first time. (Though, to be fair, there was at least one talk page comment on the Pocket Edition's outdated reception.) Also this GAR has already been archived on the talk page, so I'm going to dig it up again, ping past contributors (@FutureTrillionaire), and leave a courtesy talk page message for due diligence. czar 01:14, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

• I said this during GA nomination and I'm saying it now: the article is not ready and cannot be for a few years at least. It hardly covers the many game's ports. A lot of it is unsourced. Lots of various content is missing. The game was and still is actively developed, so the article is not keeping up with outdated gameplay and such. Etc. etc. This is one of the biggest games ever and the article does not approach the inclusive coverage or depth it would require. Even basic issues like copyediting or organization are not ready. I believe it should never have been promoted to begin with. Unfortunately, I do not believe we can bring it to GA during the lifetime of this discussion -- there are just too many things to address yet. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 16:05, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
  • I'm going to give this another couple of days before I delist it and close this discussion. JOEBRO64 15:42, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
• Closing comment: this review has been open for almost six months, so I think we should get some closure. In addition to my concerns, both czar's and Hellknowz's comments are unaddressed. Once this page is updated, stable, properly sourced, and comprehensive, it can be renominated. JOEBRO64 21:48, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

GA delist discussion has new points to address

A courtesy note to page watchers: I've restored the GAR discussion to the talk page as there are some points that need addressal. Otherwise the article will be delisted for insufficient breadth (WP:GACR#3). (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 01:22, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Need more pictures to keep us less ignorant.

I think there should be more pictures of gameplay ,because there was like so many updates over the years that you need to check the change log or (lots) YouTube videos to catch up. Daren47 (talk) 02:24, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Youtube might really be a better way to find out about the changes made to gameplay; Wikipedia is not a guide anyways.-- ChamithN (talk) 02:43, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Unlock this page so that people can edit it again

Please unprotect the Minecraft page. Its annoying to not be able to edit it and plus its unnecessary because people can just revert vandalism themselves.

-UltraChas

No. The page is protected because the vandalism is constant and high level, which takes time away from volunteers who are patrolling and reverting. You can edit Wikipedia and work to become autoconfirmed if you want to edit semi-protected articles. -- ferret (talk) 19:39, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

@UltraChas: Or, you can request changes to be made on this talk page. You can preface your proposal with the tag {{edit semi-protected}} to signal other editors that you are proposing a change. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:52, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

It's unnecessary to protect this page because contributors can simply revert vandalism themselves. I think that this page along with the Roblox page should be unprotected or at least changed to semi-protected as contributors can revert vandalism themelves and then Wikipedia admins can block vandals.

UltraChas (talk) 19:57, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Both pages are semi-protected. You are not autoconfirmed yet though. Note, replied more indepth to user on my talk page. -- ferret (talk) 20:34, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

@Ferret: I am autoconfirmed btw, I have been on Wikipedia for several days now. UltraChas (talk) 07:49, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

@UltraChas: Please don't talk condescendingly to people who are more experienced than you, especially if they're an admin. When you made your 7:49 UTC edit, you had only just become autoconfirmed, meaning your original claim at 15:32, 7 August 2018 was incorrect. Please see WP:PROTECTION, and note the different colours of padlocks and the levels they mean. Grey means semi-protected which locks the page for anyone who isn't logged in, made 10 edits, and had an account for four days. Anarchyte (work | talk) 13:44, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Bedwars / Hypixel / etc.

Why is there no mention of the popular multiplayer servers such as Hypixel or even popular multiplayer games like Bedwars??? Why is the Hypixel Wikipedia article repeatedly deleted as "not notable"??? They had 12 Million unique logins in the summer of 2017 (https://twitter.com/hypixelnetwork/status/902523424924459008?lang=en), that is far from "not notable".

Sorry, I am new to Wikipedia and don't fully grasp it yet. I was more or less asking if reliable sources was the only information missing, as I would like to make the change. Hookje (talk) 19:09, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Depends. It depends on how much of it there is and what sort of articles cover it. A list of game's blocks -- very likely not. Articles that cover update news -- likely not. Discussion of game's features with a mention -- probably not. A look at how the game uses redstone logic blocks -- may be. An article about how command blocks make custom maps -- likely. The point here is to include material proportional to its significance. It's hard to say without seeing the source first. Minecraft, as a game, is a very prominent subject with lots of sources. This means you see disproportionately many mentions of trivial details. WP:WAF advises to consider real-world implications and MOS:VG lists all the ways we shouldn't stray into details. We could theoretically source a lot, but we have to stop somewhere. Individual blocks is likely the limit, unless there really is significant sourcing. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 19:12, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the input, I will review related sources and determine if its importance is notable. I will add further on this within 7 days and hopefully get feedback. A note to add: the command block, although an individual block is a part of the redstone system as a whole. I'd like to highlight on "how the game uses redstone logic blocks" and "how command blocks make custom maps" as these two features continue to have an impact of significance on the game.

They want to link Ghast DAB page to Minecraft. But that fails WP:DABMENTION. So they want a mention of "ghast" added to Minecraft. Which would fail MOS:VG, because we would need to explain it and we don't go into such gameplay detail. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 11:57, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

I would consider Ghast to be notable and would request Ghast to included, linked to Ghast (disambiguation), with a brief description of Ghast, such as "a weeping flying mob found in the nether" or something similar, and a picture to give context and meaning to the reader to relate the description and picture.

We don't link to disamb pages either way. There's nothing particularly notable about any minecraft creature other than the Creeper. -- ferret (talk) 18:31, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

No one is asking you to link to the disamb page. Someone is asking you to mention a video game creature to note that creatures are part of what makes the Nether environment different than the normal environment of the game. If you can't do that the edit request changes to outright remove the mention of the nether at all. You'll of course refuse to do that because it is actually important to the article and you'll move the goalposts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.162.90.162 (talk) 14:10, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

On the cloning page it says, "After the release of Minecraft, some video games were released with various similarities with Minecraft, and some were called "clones" of the game. Examples include Ace of Spades, CastleMiner, CraftWorld, FortressCraft, Terraria, and Total Miner"

I think somewhere on this article it should mention that many people consider terraria a game inspired by minecraft, and not a minecraft clone. Jreesebot (talk) 14:19, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Secondary reliable sources call it a clone, but even if it was only "inspired", that's such a minor detail that the amount of text needed to call it out is unnecessary. -- ferret (talk) 14:54, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

• While it is an easter egg in the game, for Wikipedia purposes it's simply a misspelling that perhaps a child would be likely to make, and thus it should serve as a non-sectional redirect. Also, you shouldn't be using a table as a signature. I'm pretty sure that's not even allowed by guidelines either. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 20:06, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
• I would not necessarily oppose the creation of such a section if reliable sources exist for them that don't require original research and they can be treated encyclopedically, nor would I oppose a sectional redirect of the word to that section. (If, again, reliable sufficient-quality sources exist for the easter egg and it's not just material for Wikia.) That said, you seem to be fully able to make such a section yourself, and I agree in insisting you change your signature right now. See mine, for example. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 06:23, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

• Looking on Google, there don't appear to be any non-Wiki/non-forum sources for easter eggs, so they should not be added to the article and the status quo should stay for now. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 06:26, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Flagship sandbox

I think something's missing in the main section of the Minecraft page. It's the most popular pure sandbox and the game, that all people think about when they hear 'sandbox'. I think it's worth to say something like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Szymioza‎ (talk • contribs)

Wikipedia uses reliable sources for content. Only material directly verifiable is included. Whether something is worth saying is decided by whether reliable sources have given it sufficient attention. In case of extraordinary claims and wording ("best", "all people", "pure", etc.), there needs to be equally extraordinary sourcing. In almost all cases, there isn't. At best, several sources may say something like "it is best", but we would still include this as "Sources A, B, and C said it was best" and not a general statement. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 16:46, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Why is Classic mentioned as a computer version? It's just outdated Java Edition that's only available in the launcher (and no, the web browser version does not count as Classic).

Official means they explicitly label it as such, and they no longer do. They have it listed clearly as an unofficial resource. -- ferret (talk) 22:30, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Yes. Check this archived link to see the difference that we are talking about. And now that I think more about it, wasn't there some semi-recent drama regarding the Wiki's move to another domain or something? That could probably explain the difference in "officialness" here. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:35, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

• There's no "drama" regarding the wiki moving to any domain. It moved to Gamepedia 6 years ago and it's "officialness" hasn't changed at all.  Nixinova  T  C  22:42, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

• I must be thinking of another game then. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 23:03, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

• The wiki hasn't been downgraded at all and Mojang themselves still call the wiki official. The website probably just doesn't have space for a separate one-item official pages section, or that page may just want to list mojang-run information. That archive link has the same issue: the forums aren't official yet they're just put in that section because there's no point creating one-item sections.  Nixinova  T  C  22:40, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

@Eik Corell: Please let me show you this quote from your link article: "(This policy of no original research does not apply to talk pages and other pages which evaluate article content and sources, such as deletion discussions or policy noticeboards.)" This here is a talk page and we are evaluating the reliable of different primary sources (https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/help/ versus the official wiki badge). The badge is also not user-generated but added by Gamepedia staff who are one side of the contract. So either a) the ended their contract with Gamepedia without telling the other party (unlikely) or b) the first mentioned source is outdated and not very reliable as stated on the researched quote. MarkusRost (talk) 12:28, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Researching something on a talk page does not change the policy on sourcing in the article. "Proof" is not the same as verifiability. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 12:48, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm not an expert on all the WP policies, but isn't the minecraft.net help page a primary source in the same way the badge on the wiki site is? So that policy would render that source as invalid as well. MarkusRost (talk) 14:44, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

The minecraft.net site is a primary source, yes. That doesn't make it an "invalid" source. No primary source is an invalid source. We use primary sources all the time to state what a subject says about itself.

The Minecraft Wiki isn't a primary source, it's a self-published source because it's an open wiki consisting entirely of user-generated content (I am active there, and I can attest that it receives misinformed or vandal edits often, just like Wikipedia). As such, isn't considered a reliable source for the purposes of verifying claims about Minecraft. That has nothing to do with it being "official".

As to whether it is (still) official, we have evidence posted by a Minecraft Wiki admin (FVbico) that contradicts what we see on the minecraft.net page, so I'd say it's uncertain, and therefore this article shouldn't say anything one way or another about the Minecraft Wiki being official. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:07, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Along this vein, it's important to note that we've simply changed it to say "Gamepedia". It wasn't labelled "Unofficial" here. This is probably the best scenario we can work out until Minecraft.net clarifies officialness. It's not false, at the very least. -- ferret (talk) 16:15, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

[3][4][5]  Nixinova  T  C  03:13, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

GoNintendo is considered unreliable per WP:VG/RS, and there are no discussions about Neowin's reliability (could be, but also could be not). The authors may be notable, but that does not mean any work they produce is automatically the same. Due to this, I'm removing it from the article until better sources for the books can be found. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:26, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

We have no notability guideline that requires secondary sources for specific relevant content within an existing topic. See WP:NNC. The fact remains that there are official, Mojang-approved novels in existence, some written by notable authors, therefore briefly listing them is encyclopedically relevant information. This isn't fancruft or trivia. They may not be notable, but they are noteworthy. On that basis I am restoring the section. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:36, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Some sources The Book Seller, NY Times, NPR. While these are for The Island, this from Pub Weekly hit on the other 3. The first link I give gives sufficient context that any other Minecraft book out of Del Ray should be documented to "complete" the list.

What we don't want is fan-books that are published by self-publishing services Amazon and others offers. Roblox suffers from this greatly, I don't know if there are Minecraft equipvalents. Just because it can be found on a major retailer doesn't make it notable. We want something like the news about a publishing deal to "seed" the acceptability of the list. --Masem (t) 22:43, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

@Anachronist: "We have no notability guideline that requires secondary sources for specific relevant content within an existing topic." Really? Then what's stopping fanfics and other things from being added by using the same logic you presented? WP:N goes for notability, not noteworthiness, and thus should still apply to this stuff, even if the authors are notable. Thankfully, Masem found a few sources for them, so they can go back into the article. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 20:19, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

The source cited for the current text isn't all that great. It's a brief newsblog post that only parrots a preview of the Nether from a blog post by Notch. That 2010 PC mag source hadn't actually playtested the Nether in Mineraft. There are multiple published guidebooks, from publishers like Simon and Schuster and Penguin, that verify the 8:1 ratio.

Whether it's better to say "can be used to travel great distances in the overworld" or "can be used for traveling, with one block in the Nether equal to eight blocks in the Overworld" I can't say. Depends on how much detail we want ,but good sources for it do exist. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:25, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Order of lead vs body

MOS:INTRO is pretty emphatic that the lead text should prioritize emphasis based on importance. Per MOS:LEADREL: "emphasis given to material should reflect its relative importance to the subject." The first paragraph should "identify the topic, establish context, and explain why the topic is notable, all of which should be established in the first sentences." That means best selling game ever belongs in the first sentences, not the tenth sentence, halfway through the second paragraph.

MOS:BODY does not say the order of the sections below should match the lead, and in fact says it varies depending on subject, there being no rule for all articles.

Most featured articles follow this practice. Pick any example: Las Meninas, Buckingham Palace, Final Fantasy X, D. B. Cooper. It's clear there are a number of FAs that have been force-fitted into this pattern, resulting in examples like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Jaws (film), that digress on a lot of plot summaries, production details, credits and such, before they get around to mentioning their historically great commercial success and influence. Why would anyone want that? It's a disservice to the reader and breaks basic MOS guidelines out of an obsession with consistency. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:50, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

I agree that a lot of FA tend to fit into a template-like mold, but it's generally good editing practice to follow the TOC order, even if the MOS doesn't explicitly say so. But anyways, the second sentence should not list the game's sales and player count over explaining what the game even is and why/how it reached these figures in the first place. I've never seen a game article lead formatted like this, so I think a discussion for these changes is warranted. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 23:00, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

The MOS does explicitly say so. It says explicitly that the most important facts about the topic should get the most emphasis. It says the reason a topic is notable should be stated in the first sentences, not the last. Moving something to the top increases emphasis. Moving it down de-emphasizes it. Moving it to the very end says it is the least important fact in the lead. Which is nonsense, in this case.

Taking the most important fact about this particlar game -- it's overwhelming popularity -- and de-emphasizing it is a direct contradiction of MOS guidelines. Even if all other game articles are formatted like this, and even if a WikiProject had their own conventions saying to order the lead to match the body, that doesn't trump a guideline. Guidelines take precedence over local consensus like Project-level conventions. Only policy trumps guidelines.

Guidelines can be ignored if there is strong local consensus, and a good reason. But there is no good reason. "Let's make all these articles look the same" is not a good reason. Consistency across articles is nice, and a goal, among many goals, but it's not the most important goal, and definitely not at the expense of flouting such basic guidelines. The idea that trivia like the peculiarities of the Java Edition or the exact difference between survival and creative mode is more important than the status as the top selling game of all time is silly. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 00:28, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Pinging for their input: @Ferret, Lordtobi, Sergecross73, and Popcornduff: ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 03:25, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

What an oddly specific subset of the editors who have recently worked on the article or commented on the talk page. Can I ping all my friends too? Seems like canvassing. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:20, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Ferret and Sergecross are both admins, and Lordtobi and Popcornduff are editors I can rely on to help settle a debate one way or the other. All four are very active and established WP:VG members, I simply pinged them here instead of creating a WT:VG post (that would just link back here anyway) out of laziness. But if you want to ping others to help settle this as well, then you are more than welcome too. Or if you still prefer, I can create the WT:VG post to get even more editors involved. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 05:02, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia has over 1,000 admins. Merely requesting an admin isn't hard. But you decided to hand pick two specific ones, out of many. And two other editors that you can 'rely' on. Sure. Perfectly normal and in no way suspicious. Would I be wrong in guessing four out of four will agree with you 100%? Perhaps only three out of four? Would an uninvolved observer consider such an outcome fair?

I'd suggest if any of them come here, they realize that their participation is skunked because it's an obvious canvassing violation. Many editors are watching Minecraft. Apparently 1,074 editors have it on their watch list. Why not let any of them who wish to participate do so, organically? Or follow the RfC process, with a neutrally worded question, and a broad, unbiased notification process? I'm actually thinking that since more than one WikiProject seems to follow a convention that flies int he face of MOS:INTRO, we need a broad RfC to either weaken the MOS:INTRO guidelines, or nullify such local consensus, per the usual precedence of guidelines over project conventions.

But this thing that you're doing now? No. Just no. I highly suggest you go and canvass no more. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 05:14, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

No issue with current lead. Simply don't feel that strongly about it. I feel the entire conversation on both sides misses the point though: MOS aside, what IS important to have in the lead? Regardless of the order, do we have all the top facts currently? Besides that, there's two procedural issues here: We don't "keeping proposed changes until consensus is reached", not how BRD works, please keep that in mind in future... And secondly, this article is heavily watched by WP:VG editors and many others. That no one else has reverted again after several days signals to me a silent consensus. -- ferret (talk) 14:06, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Never claimed to be following the suggested process at WP:BRD. Since BRD is not an excuse to edit war, perhaps the person who began the edit war should answer complaints of not following BRD. My edit summary was simply that when you edit war over formatting or style, let alone content, neither side can claim the high ground. Keeping old version until consensus is reached is equally facile to keeping changes until consensus is reached. Each is the mirror of the other. If you disapprove of edit warring, the zero revert rule is your only sound option.

Reverting a dozen constructive edits when all you disagree with is the order facts appear in the lead hardly puts one on the high ground either.

Your main point is well taken. Which facts belong in the lead and in what order varies by topic. Given the info box as a quick reference, a cookie cutter lead template is even less justified. Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:42, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Minecraft Game Modes description incorrect.

Despite being listed as a separate Game Mode in the World Generation Options, the Hardcore mode is not an actual Game Mode. Hardcore is managed by setting the hardcore flag in the config file (as of 1.3.1) to true, thus it is possible to play Hardcore while in Creative Mode. Selacos (talk) 17:10, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

For all intents and purposes it is a game mode and that is a needless distinction to make.  Nixinova  T  C  00:42, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Nub. Hardcore is not a true gamemode. Gamemodes are specific to the player, hardcore is tied to the world. Gamemodes are changed using /gamemode, hardcore is not. List it under Survival. Selacos is correct. --BEANS X2 (talk) 17:11, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Why are you calling me a nub? On the Minecraft Wiki (which I'm an admin on) we would make these distinctions but on Wikipedia, where we have a general audience it is a needless distinction to make. Who cares if it can't be changed with /gamemode, thats not relevant to a general audience, which is why I said for all intents and purposes.  Nixinova  T C   22:34, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Every time it's unprotected (like 3+ times), it just becomes an exercise in reverting vandalism and poor additions and almost no usable edits.

 Partly done: Changed first mention in lead and infobox and this would probably suffice. The rest of article is based on sources prior to rebranding. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 09:23, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Console Edition

The last update for the Legacy Console Edition wasn't released in December 2018, but on March 19, 2019. Link: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Legacy_Console_Edition_version_history#xbox-TU74 — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaksPEDIA (talk • contribs) 14:57, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Add Lena Raine, the composer for the new nether music

I do not qualify to edit this article myself, but I’d like to suggest an edit for someone else to make: Lena Raine is a video game music composer, and she recently made a few songs for the nether dimension that will be added in the upcoming 1.16 update. I was thinking that maybe she should be listed under composers, along with C418. Here is her Wikipedia article so you can hyperlink it: https://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Lena_Raine Mackerrr (talk) 20:16, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Well, as far as the infobox goes, I added her to that a while back. Looks like somebody removed her, so I re-added it. I'm not sure why someone is removing a legitimate composer from the infobox. Harmonia per misericordia. OmegaFallon (talk) 20:57, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Because she only wrote a few pieces for a post-release update. Per the infobox documentation, the field should be reserved for lead composers only. That being said, she could belong in note form instead of outright omitted. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 03:53, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Request to change the extended protection to limited time (change to 1 year?)

I know that persistent vandalism were going on here, and this article needs to be protected. But the game had updates recently (New composer for the new nether music, Mojang launching Minecraft's related game, the 1.16 update), we need to edit this article. What I know about whats going on, a game in China that copied Minecraft, Mini World, was removed from app stores, and its players (mostly elementary school students) try to revenge by deleting all the content in this article. Although these vandalism is disgusting but we need to edit this article, and most players who know much about this game don't have an extended confirmed on Wikipedia. I suggest, change the indefinite extended-protection to a limited time protection. It should expire next year so this article can be updated. Votes ↓↓↓(do I have the right to start a vote?😁) -- Herobrine303 (talk) 10:08, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

This is an inappropriate way to requested changes to the protection level. It's not a vote. Make the necessary edit requests with sources and someone will update the article. Even if we lowered the indefinite to a 1 year protection, it wouldn't change anything about your ability to edit the article now. And the span of vandalism this article has faced, reoccurring every single time protection expired, is why indefinite is in place. -- ferret (talk) 13:00, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

It looks like the only composer listed it C418 with Lena Raine in a note, but in recent updates Samuel Åberg and Gareth Coker have also contributed. Coopw (talk) 19:25, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
