Frequently asked questions

Q1: Why doesn't this article have more information on blocks/crafting/mobs/entities/mods than it does?

A1: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, nor is it a how-to guide. Articles should strive to present a broad overview of their subjects. Video game articles in particular try to describe general mechanics and gameplay instead of specific details. This helps to keep the article accessible to readers who may not otherwise be familiar with Minecraft.

Q2: Why doesn't this article show the prices?

A2: Wikipedia is not a directory. Product prices should not be quoted in an article unless they can be sourced and there is a justified reason for their mention. In general, if mainstream media sources (not just product reviews) provide commentary on the price of an object instead of just passing mention, this is an indication that its price may have encyclopedic significance. Prices listed by individual vendors, on the other hand, can vary widely from place to place and over time. Wikipedia is not a price comparison service to be used to compare the prices of competing products, or the prices of a single product from different vendors.

This page is not a forum for general discussion about Minecraft. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about Minecraft at the Reference desk.

Minecraft was one of the Video games good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first.

Semi-protected edit request on 2 December 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change "...players have the option of a third-person perspective." to "...players have the option of two other third-person perspectives."

Change "...only when players are nearby." to "...only when players are nearby. Each world has a typically impassable world border one chunk before the 30 million hard limit, however it can be bypassed using ingame commands." Cassidy Renno (talk) 02:57, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. While I don't play the game, I trust you're likely correct; however it would be original research to include it in the article without it being referenced to a reliable source.

Semi-protected edit request on 18 December 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Minecraft. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
