Merch chart in Merch section

Minecraft merchandise sales in millions U.S dollars

Can this be included in the Merch section? The Data is from the highest-grossing media franchise article.Timur9008 (talk) 7:14, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 1 October 2020

A Minecraft (franchise) page has been created, where merchandise, Minecon, movies and additional spin-off game information has been added, using content from this page. As such, a lot of content on this page can be moved over. I can't do this because of the extended protection on it, so is it possible that someone else does?

The following template should be added:

Poster Image Fix

Steve is actually wielding an Iron Pickaxe instead of a diamond one in the image on the right, at the top of the page. Is this too minor for a change or is it too misinforming?

I simply removed the "type". He's holding a pickaxe is enough detail. -- ferret (talk) 13:38, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should Builders and Biomes be added to the Spin-Off Games section?

Builders and Biomes is the Minecraft board game that was developed by Ravensberger and released in 2019. BoyBeyondTheStars (talk) 17:00, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good article request

Minecraft has grown popular in early 2020 as PewDiePie (famous youtuber) played it, so maybe you should make this article a good article. Another reason is that Minecraft has been in youtube with, like 20000 videos. Even songs were added, so that's why you should make it a good article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshua's Number9 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Joshua's Number9, Good Articles are not determined by the popularity of the subject, but rather the quality of the article. You can see a list of the criteria here. This is not the proper channel to nominate the article. Here are the instructions on nominating one. SWinxy (talk) 18:43, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to add more detail about why Minecraft Earth was going to close down. PolarWafflez5327 (talk) 14:43, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. If you can outline the changes you would like to make, another editor may add them if they follow guidelines. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 16:52, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

EULA Controversy

In a recent Youtube video made by Slush, the EULA controversy that occurred back in 2014 came to table again. Its clarified that the EULA was always there, but got realized by the community later as the game got much more popularized than it was ever before and laws started to be applied. The big news sites, which are very interested of attention, dramatized the whole controversy just like Notch changed something and caused all of it. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 19:33, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Slush isn't a reliable source or usable for changing a Wikipedia article. The changes were also unnecessarily verbose. -- ferret (talk) 19:44, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
ferret yes, he is not a reliable source indeed but what he points in the video is a relevant thing. If you check out Minecraft's license, you would see that it was always there but people realized the clauses after they got implemented by law as the game became famous. Therefore the section in the page must be fixed because there is a false allegation there. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 20:29, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also Notch himself clarified the public about the EULA situation in this interview. Yes, this one is Forbes which is also not accepted as reliable source but its an interview of Minecraft's creator therefore it needs to be accepted for this occasion. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 20:35, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, anything we add on this should roughly follow what is in [ https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jun/24/minecraft-how-a-change-to-the-rules-is-tearing-the-community-apart ]. --Guy Macon (talk) 20:38, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
An interesting editorials on this: [ https://www.pcgamer.com/why-minecrafts-new-eula-is-good-for-the-community/ ] --Guy Macon (talk) 20:41, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am curious if Guardian and all other media outlets were honest while making those claims, as there hadn't been a major update on EULA and Notch himself clarified that.--Comrade-yutyo (talk) 20:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The idea of "EULA was always there, people only noticed they were violating it later" is probably true, but will be hard to source. For example, there was a lot of drama in April 2020 about it, but no news media picked it up looks like (referring to here and here). The best we can do is probably the actual change that was made to the EULA in 2014. Leijurv (talk) 20:55, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Herobrine

Herobrine popularised Minecraft. He's a meme, a rare skin, and a hacker. Why is it that it literally just says " he appears in people's worlds and builds strange structures. Mojang has confirmed that Herobrine never existed in Minecraft and there are no plans to add him." Herobrine does much more than " build structures"! He crashes your game, tries to kill you and started in several web series and books. Please add more info on Herobrine, the article a nowhere even CLOSE to being descriptive enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarioFyreFlower (talk • contribs) 09:56, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:UNDUE. It's a very minor part of the game, and should be treated as such. Any added details or claims of significance needs to be verified by reliable, third party sources. (IGN, Eurogamer, etc - not social media or Youtuber videos.) Sergecross73 msg me 13:45, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello MarioFyreFlower, information on Herobrine can be expanded/added. If you can provide some sources regarding his popularity or influence on Minecraft's popularity it would be helpful. The article is highly descriptive in my opinion. SenatorLEVI 14:29, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Change the part about Herobrine "coming into the world and building strange structures" Herobrine never existed in mInecraft and is just a myth. 174.255.128.131 (talk) 04:37, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article says:

"Herobrine" is an urban legend associated with Minecraft, who first appeared as a single image on 4chan's /v/ board. According to rumors, Herobrine appears in players' worlds and builds strange constructions. However, Mojang has confirmed that Herobrine has never existed in Minecraft, and there are no plans to add Herobrine." --Guy Macon (talk) 06:41, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok but there is no reason to have Herobrine in it at all. And he doesn't just come into your world and build strange constructions,he destroyes the place.Ever read any Minecraft fanfic? When was the last time you read a book about Herobrine going mwaahahaha I will destroy the world by building upside down ts!!? So even if you don't remove Herobrine, the definition is wrong anyway. If u want to have him in the articles, then put him in a section labeled myths and rumors or something. 174.255.128.131 (talk) 14:07, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
