 | 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. |
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. |

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:
 | This article or section may need to be cleaned up or summarized because it has been split from/to Minecraft (franchise). |

Minecraft's inner story (theories involved)
I think everything in the game has a (not real) history and I'd like to add theories on it with mine and others. NO USER23 (talk) 01:38, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- @NO USER23: Everything added to this article must be supported by citations of reliable, published sources that state exactly what is added. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to discuss individuals' theories about the game's "inner story". I'm sure there are SubReddits or other sites where unproven theories about the game are discussed. General Ization Talk 01:46, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- Can you plz explain to me what the page is for then I'm new to this stuff
- And it involves theories from websites such as fandom and my own plus supported with the stuff in the games history
- I understand now NO USER23 (talk) 01:51, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hello NO USER23, if you want to add anything to the article page you need to reference appropriate sources. Personal game theories made up by you or other people have no place in the article unless backed by sources. SenatorLEVI 06:14, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

my request is to change "Jens Bergensten" to Jens "Jeb" Bergensten Reeetuscleetus (talk) 13:43, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- No. His name is Jens Peder Bergensten. See Jens Bergensten. Here is what he calls himself on his LinkedIn page:[1] --Guy Macon (talk) 14:39, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Jeb is their online monicker, like Markus "Notch" Persson. Although I doubt we need to list nicknames for everyone. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 16:43, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
