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 article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Minecraft world is 30,000,000 blocks in the x, -x, z and -z direction. I think the page should be changed to include these numbers
Hardcore mode is mentioned but does not get a paragraph like the other modes, it should. Drearyplane8 (talk) 19:49, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia though, so such content is not appropriate. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 22:56, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Hellknowz: WTF did you add {{unsigned}}? what did I not sign? L293D (☎ • ✎) 00:08, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- @L293D: He just hit the wrong user by mistake. It should have been for Romi330. -- ferret (talk) 00:12, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- Whoops, wrong user indeed, sorry about that. Got mixed up in the history because they added a section header instead of an actual message. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 11:02, 26 April 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)
- @Anarchyte: @Ferret: Hi there. I can now edit the Minecraft page. If possible, I request that this argument is to be closed to any further discussion. UltraChas (talk) 08:16, 11 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". Alexander Gras (talk) 10:00, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- And have any third-party source reported on it? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 22:18, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- Well, the New York Times worked with Hypixel to create their own world!!! See https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/17/magazine/the-minecraft-generation.html and https://hypixel.net/threads/featured-world-new-york-times-magazine-christoph-niemann.687533/ and https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/new-york-times-minecraft_us_570f9688e4b03d8b7b9f8c4c. Alexander Gras (talk) 10:00, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- Valid sources, but not enough to have an entire article written about it. A sentence or two here would suffice though. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 18:40, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
