Milk and area effects
I'm a Bedrock Edition player. Regarding your recent change to Milk, I am curious what actually happens in Java Edition when you drink milk while in the affected area of a beacon or conduit. You say the benefits of the effect disappear; for example, you would start drowning if underwater near a conduit? What happens if you leave the area and return? Is the canceling effect of milk permanent?
I can see that milk would remove Hero of the Village, as that's an effect granted by a single event. However, conduits and beacons grant their effects continously in an affected volume of space around them, so I am skeptical that milk would remove the effect for more than a couple of game ticks. More information is needed in that Milk article, I think. Amatulic (talk) 05:31, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- "conduits and beacons grant their effects continously"
- To be more specific: beacons and conduits grant their effects every few seconds. Beacons grant 9–17 seconds of the effect every four seconds and I think conduits grant 12 seconds of conduit power every two seconds. Drinking the milk removes the effect but the beacon/conduit will give the effect back whenever it normally gives its effect (e.g., finishing a milk bucket half a second after a beacon grants an effect to the player means the player will not have the effect for three-and-a-half seconds). It's like drinking milk while standing next to a dispenser that dispenses a splash potion onto you every few seconds. SLScool 15:41, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- I see. It's kind of like Mining Fatigue inflicted by elder guardians then. I believe in Java Edition each elder guardian in range hits you at one minute intervals. In Bedrock Edition, the interval is much quicker - you get hit again by Mining Fatigue almost instantly after drinking milk; you get at most 1-2 seconds reprieve.
- It's also possible that milk removes the effects of conduits and beacons just as briefly in Bedrock Edition. I'll have to check that when I get home from work, and I'll revise the milk article accordingly. I wouldn't be surprised if Bedrock and Java worked the same with respect to milk, with the only difference being the interval before the effect is restored. Amatulic (talk) 17:11, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Update: I tested this in Bedrock Edition, and I confirmed that it behaves the same as Java Edition, in that milk removes all status effects immediately, including Hero of the Village. Like Java Edition, the effects from conduits and beacons are quickly restored, although faster in Bedrock (almost immediately for conduits, and after at most a couple seconds for beacons). I have modified the article. Amatulic (talk) 03:22, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
Hey buddy this wiki isnt being maintined anymore
Eh
- I'm undoing vandalism, which isn't allowed under Fandom's forking policy. That's all so far. SLScool 04:05, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Have you migrated your account yet?
If not, follow the simple instructions at the other wiki's Special:MigrateUserAccount Amatulic (talk) 14:22, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
- I will not be moving to the other wiki and therefore have no reason to migrate. Thanks for the suggestion, though. SLScool 15:35, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Touching base
Yo, there was a mass vandalism via the use of two separate bots. Me (Ya Boi King Kai) and another Fandom Staff Member (Legendary Super Saiyan Fennekin) managed to stop the bots. Currently, Fenn is attempting to use a bot to undo the vandalism. Sadly, for some reason, it seems that when she set herself as a bot, the tag didn't stick and it might be flooding the "Recent Changes Feed". I'm just here to inform you that there's nothing to worry about and that we're just undoing the vandalism this bot was attempting to do. Be sure to let me know if there's anything else you need in the future. :]
Kindest regards, Ya Boi King Kai (12:55 PM EST) 10/30/2023
- Thanks to the two of you for your help, a lot of the pages are now clean again. However, it's only been partially effective. As Noisy miner pointed out on Legendary Super Saiyan Fennekin's talk page, that staff member and GotenSakurauchi only reverted the latest consecutive edits (like a Rollback revert), which has been only partially effective on pages hit by both bots. For example, only about 310 of the last 500 edits by Apple tree tree have the Reverted tag, and if you look at the pages without the tag, you'll see they haven't been undone (although later edits on those pages have been removed). The same is true for about 290 of the last 1000 edits by Tree apple tree.
- Yes, I understand. The clean up isn't finished just yet. I still need to do some revisions and the like. I'm considering bringing in another bot to fix this. Let's hope that it doesn't screw us up again. Ya Boi King Kai
Extreme vandalism
As you know, almost the entire editing staff of this website, along with many of it's users, have abandoned this wiki and moved to the new one. I am one of a few holdouts still using this place (for various reasons i won't get into). I read your talk page, and it's been brought to your attention that there's a lot of vandalism going around. It seems users of the new wiki are vandalising this old wiki to try and force people to migrate. I've encountered quite a few pages now that have massive, repeated advertisements for the new wiki. I also noticed that some links automatically redirect you to the new wiki's respective page. Go see it for yourself by searching up a status effect (i did Health Boost, for example), scroll to the bottom of the page to the box that lists all the status effects (the one you have to expand), and hover on each link. Almost every single one takes you to the new wiki. Not only is that vandalism, but i'm pretty sure that's a breach of Fandom's TOS. I understand you are the sole admin left here on the site, but this is getting out of hand. It is perfectly fine if people want to migrate and not use this old website, but is NOT okay to actively deface the website they moved from in some petty attempt to convince the last few users here to move over. Please, do something about this. This out-of-control vandalism and link spamming is making for a very poor browsing experience. Fandom needs to do something about this. VectraDragon (talk) 07:08, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
- Do you have any suggestions? Because I can't think of anything else I can do to prevent vandalism from happening. There's already a filter to stop links to the forked wiki, and that's the only fork-specific filter I can think of that would help. I don't have any way to contact the vandals outside of their talk pages, so I'm limited in how I can get the people involved to stop. Unless you or I or someone else comes up with a brilliant idea, all that Fandom staff and I can do to stop the vandalism is blocking and reverting. SLScool 20:59, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
Given as you seem to be the last remaining admin on this website, perhaps it in your best interest to start locking down articles that are frequently vandalised. I know that may be a difficult choice to make, but i'd rather not have a page edited at all over it being vandalised. VectraDragon (talk) 05:28, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Sugar and Crafter seem to be popular targets. There's a chance that the vandals will be less interested in vandalizing when they can't vandalize their favorite targets. Good idea. SLScool 05:53, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Seeing all the vandalism saddens me. It's so pointless, but I must admit that Fandom brought this upon themselves.
- I used to be an administrator here too, but was de-sysopped due to Fandom policy when I migrated to the new site. I still check in occasionally (especially when someone leaves me a message) and I see your valiant actions to fight vandalism in my watch list. If I see vandalism here, I revert it, but I'm not here much anymore. I was willing to be an active administrator on both sites (because content I created is on both sites), but by de-sysopping me, Fandom basically was saying "go away, it's our problem now" so I washed my hands of it.
- I know you decided to stay, but if you change your mind, we'd love to have you come over. Amatulic (talk) 17:15, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Hey, just to let you know, the Luck page has been vandalised so bad i can't even undo the edit. That apple tree guy you keep blocking has made a new account. I suggest you IP ban him, if that's possible. Otherwise, i'm going to try and see how to undo this guy's vandalism.VectraDragon (talk) 06:02, 13 November 2023 (UTC) EDIT: I was just looking at the old version, one of the automod bots undid the vandalism. Sorry about leaving an unnecessary message on your talk page.VectraDragon (talk) 06:08, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
who gives a heck about fandoms forking policy
people should be able to move to another website that isnt ad-riddled and slow as frick fandom has done some bad stuff and the vandalism should help move it down in SEO

No, they should not.

Hi there!
Your A+ Wiki application for the Minecraft wiki has been accepted - congratulations! I hope that the Admin+ courses were beneficial for you, even if they just helped as a refresher. pikushi ✧.* 15:44, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
OMG!!!
WHY DID YOU DELETE RABBIT KART 7!!!!!!
- Why did you make it and the other two articles? SLScool 14:34, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- Because I wanna make server!
- This wiki is about official Minecraft content. If you want to have some articles, you'll need to find another wiki. There are plenty of wikis about Minecraft, and you'll probably be able to write your articles on at least one of them. You can also make your own wiki; click the Start a Wiki button on the sidebar on the left to do so. SLScool 15:34, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Can I make Rabbit Kart 7 again?
It’s a Minecraft server!
- My reply in the above section still stands. This wiki is about official content, so if you wish you write about unofficial content, you'll have to pursue one of the avenues I mentioned. SLScool 21:57, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
Community section
Should this wiki add a community section for posts, polls, etc.
- I've been thinking about it. SLScool 17:47, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Future
What should we do with this wiki? Should we turn it to a massive sandbox, or leave it as it is?
- Per the Forking Policy, turning it into a massive sandbox would not be allowed. SLScool 17:47, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
How is this wiki going to be maintained?
The wiki has had outdated information for months now. The front page version is still 1.20.3. Are you going to do anything about it, or is this outdated wiki going to only be for outdated information?
Software512 (talk) 03:30, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out. I've unprotected the version list so that others may edit it. If we end up getting new people to keep the template up-to-date, like MetalManiacMc and Anterdc99 did pre-fork, then the front page will be up-to-date. If not, then it'll stay outdated until/unless I remove the version list from it. As for what will become of the rest of this wiki: at the current rate, it'll just stay online but outdated, but who knows what will happen in the future? SLScool 03:49, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- I would like to note that I cannot edit the template namespace. I'm assuming that applies to all users. That would mean all templates such as version and advancement will not be able to be updated.
Software512 (talk) 03:11, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- You should now be able to edit it. SLScool 18:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

About the "copying from forked wiki"
So you said you reverted my edits on the parity issue list because i copied it over from the new wiki. The funny thing is that 100% of what I had copied was written by me, therfore I should be allowed to do that right? If not that would make no sense at all Hobbylos1 (talk) 15:32, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- If you are Hobblylos95, then you are allowed to do that. However, I cannot assume you are the same person without any evidence. You can say something on the forked wiki to show you are the same person (I'd even accept a snide "why doesn't SLScool realize I'm Hobbylos1?" on the Forum), you can point me to evidence you've posted elsewhere, or you can migrate your account via Special:MigrateUserAccount on the forked wiki. SLScool 00:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Assuming you are also SLScool on the forked wiki, I left a comment on your talk page to confirm it. Hobbylos1 (talk) 14:20, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- I see your message, and I've restored the page. If there are any changes that you made before TreeIsLife reverted your edits but not after, you'll have to manually readd those. (By the way, I don't have an account over there. That talk page is just one of the many pages that they copied over when they forked wiki. Meanwhile, "Slscool" is not my account and is just some random person.) SLScool 16:42, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for causing you trouble, my thought was that if the fandom wiki was made absolutely useless, people would start using the new wiki instead. I'm really sorry for what i've done
@kromer-king, February 8th, 2024
Why do you want to maintain this wiki?
Sorry, I'm not trying to be aggressive like most other people on this page. I was just wondering why you wanted to maintain this wiki? I read the Forking Policy and no where does it state that vandalism has to be fixed or anything. If you let this wiki get vandalized and fester, wouldn't that drop it lower in the search results and allow the new wiki to get front page? (Or did you just want to be admin, cause I totally understand that too)
- That's a reasonable idea about the effect of vandalism, but the forkers rejected that idea months ago: it wouldn't significantly hurt the search results for this wiki. The vandalism would, however, hurt all of the players who still ended up on this wiki. The only vandalism that could lower the rankings enough to make that hurt worthwhile is the same vandalism that SOAP would definitely notice and revert without my presence. Therefore, vandalism won't help. Meanwhile, here are three theories on why I am still here:
- By staying behind, I'm making sure no one else can grow the wiki as an admin, and I can therefore ensure that minecraft.fandom.com forever stays dormant, which is great for the fork. That's TackBullTree's theory.
- I want to brag about being the owner of the Minecraft Wiki, which I couldn't do if I forked or if I left the Minecraft Wiki altogether. That's also TackBullTree's theory, and it's also one of your guesses.
- Instead of competing with the fork, I want this wiki to supplement it, which means taking this wiki in a new direction away from "the ultimate resource for Minecraft" and towards something else. This is one interpretation of a message I sent to someone on Discord one time.

1.21 images
Hello SLScool, so I've been uploading the new 1.21 images to the Wiki, but I'm getting a bit frustrated that they do not have a license. When I try to add a license to that page, it tells me to complete a CAPTCHA. Can you please add licensing to these images so they won't get deleted? Because I can't do it without your help. HITHITHIT (talk • contributions) 07:50, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- If you confirm your email, you won't have to fill out the CAPTCHA. Plus, I don't have the same high standards as the previous administration: I won't delete images just because they're unlicensed. SLScool 13:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello SLScool, my computer is pretty old anyway, so I don't think confirming my email address is worth doing. I wish the CAPTCHA you fill out was just you verifying that you were not a robot, instead of clicking certain images of random stuff. I wish CAPTCHAs did not exist ever. :( HITHITHIT (talk • contributions) 07:20, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
Cookie
The page "Cookie" needs to be moved to "Biscuit" since it is no longer called that in Minecraft. It is now referred to as "Biscuit" Gloodpatties (talk) 18:21, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- It is called "Biscuit" in the Australian, United Kingdom, and New Zealand versions of English (which I think has been the case for many years), but it is still called "Cookie" in English (US). Therefore, we'll continue to call it "Cookie" on this wiki.
But can we make a redirect page called Biscuit which will redirect it to Cookie? Gloodpatties (talk) 18:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Blocked Request

Savounited1932 reverting your edits
Hello SLScool, the user Savounited1932 reverts a lot of edits by different users, especially using the rollback link instead of the undo link. What I've done is fix redirects in the Wiki (e.g. [[amethyst geodes]] should be changed to look like the following: [[amethyst geode]]s), but United Savo does not like users doing that action. In the Tuff page (History), I changed it to the non-redirect, forgetting one of them but it not getting reverted, thus me changing the second one at a later date, but United Savo reverted that edit with a comment It's not broken anymore. But then I reverted his edit with a comment The other link to the Geode page was not a redirect. But he reverted it again. A month later, I changed the link again, but he did not revert the edit this time. You need to talk to United Savo about all of this, thank you so much. HITHITHIT (talk • contributions) 07:47, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Unlicensed images
Hello SLScool, so I've been uploading more 1.21 to the Wiki, because nobody else is doing it for some reason, and when I upload images now, I always add the license by Mojang Studios before uploading them, but here's one mistake we made, we forgot to add a license to Crafter BE2, we thought it had a license while we were uploading but we were wrong and I don't want to deal with any CAPTCHAs because our email is unconfirmed, meaning you have to delete the file and I have to reupload it without editing that file page and I do not want to get banned from editing the Wiki. I did license the other images that we've been uploading for the past week on the bright side. HITHITHIT (talk • contributions) 09:24, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Why would that be better or easier than me adding the license myself? SLScool 17:28, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Sorry about it, but since you did license the image, I've uploaded the rest of the Crafter images, and you should also consider licensing the first 1.21 images I uploaded, note that I uploaded the texture images in the wrong order. HITHITHIT (talk • contributions) 06:12, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
DPL Performance Improvements: Testing Next Week
Hello,
In recent weeks, our engineering staff has been reworking some code of the DynamicPageList (DPL) extension in order to correct a bug and, by extension, dramatically improve query performance, speeding up article page load times.
We are intending to push that change live on your wiki Monday, May 13th. This change should be invisible - the actual wikitext nor the visual output of DPL queries is expected to change. We are confident this should be a smooth rollout due to testing we did prior to this stage. However, as your community is one of the largest on Fandom using DPL, I wanted to proactively inform you of this change so you can be on the lookout for any unexpected problems.
If next week you notice any sort of unusual issues with DPL, please report them immediately through Special:Contact. You can refer to "PLAT-8725" in any bug reports to help us more efficiently triage the concern.
Thanks! --TimmyQuivy (help forum | blog) 16:11, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Retirement of the Fandom website
Hello SLScool, so I'm leaving this Wiki and moving to the non-Fandom version of this Wiki and possibly leaving the entire Fandom website, and that is because is due to the lack of 1.21 pages, unlicensed files of 1.21 blocks, and a required email address. In Wikis outside of the Fandom website, an email is optional but is needed for password resets (though you cannot reset your password, nor remove your email in the Fandom website), whereas here, the email alerts you of new messages or pages you are following and no CAPTCHAs are present in the Wiki I'm moving to. Another reason why I'm leaving is because the user Savounited1932 is so annoying, he reverts edits that fix redirects and typos whereas you do not do this, though I do think United Savo should be temporarily or permanently blocked from editing the Wiki, because of what he is doing to make other users feel upset, and I think the users in the non-Fandom version of this Wiki are more well-behaved, though the only time you should really revert edits by other users is if they are vandalizing, like inserting gibberish into pages or inserting false information and not fixing typos or redirects, like [[amethyst geodes]] instead of [[amethyst geode]]s as an example. We have had a great time with discussions together. I bid you farewell, SLScool. HITHITHIT (talk • contributions) 08:30, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello! Sorry if I'm bothering you, but it's just that I noticed that someone made some changes to the Biomes page with the intention of adding more content, and while the intention is appreciated, the edits include some templates that apparently don't even exist, which has made the page look pretty messy.

Apology
Hi, sorry if I messed something up on the "Mobs" page. Someone vandalized it with a picture of Herobrine the other day, and I was just trying to get rid of it; for some reason, the page wouldn't let me delete the image normally, so I had to go into the page's source to delete it, and I have pretty much zero experience editing page sources on Fandom, and I saw that you had to revert some stuff from the edit I did, so I deeply apologize for any unintended damage I may have caused to the page.
CyberSonic6096324.0 (talk) 19:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- What actually happened was that Cartoon Newbie replaced the zombie villager image and links with Herobrine stuff. To get it back, I went into the article's history and saved an older version of the article. Fandom interpreted that as me reverting your edit and notified you accordingly. However, your actions kept people from seeing Herobrine stuff for two days (from when you removed the stuff to when I fixed the page), which is definitely a good thing; thanks for that. SLScool 16:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey SLScool, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to get in touch with you about an upcoming event, but I think I remember seeing something about how you're not super active on Discord anymore.

I started editing on this wiki on November 16th 2021, and even being blocked by admin for 3 days at the same day, I still editing on this wiki A LOT right until November 28th 2023. Before quitting Minecraft Wiki on November 28th 2023 due to "no longer interest in the MC wiki", I have made a total of 7646 edits and being in the top 14 of the "Top Wiki Editors" if you ignore the "Apple tree" accounts. In fact, I used to be the top 1 "Monthly Top Wiki Editors" at some months of 2022.
Now reason why I'm back is because I'm now interest in editing the Minecraft Fandom Wiki, especially now when the Minecraft Fandom Wiki is vandalizing quite a lot. Now I haven't migrate my account just yet (although I tried but failed), but I'll migrate on January 1st 2025, which means that I only have a bit more than 4 months of editing on this wiki. But I'm pretty sure that these 4 months will be a very great time for me to editing on this. Now since I only have 4 months of editing on this wiki, I have to make my own goal, which is to make at least 20 edits a week and to make a total of 9000 edits before 2025 (which means that I have to make 9000 - 7646 = 1354 edits). That's all I wanted to tell you, SLScool. Thanks for reading all of this and also thanks for helping this wiki from vandals for all the time (Sorry, my English is still not good at all).

- Last year, most of the wiki's editors left Fandom and started editing a copy of this wiki over at a different site. Since then, this wiki on Fandom has been much less up-to-date on the latest features. That could be why. SLScool 20:24, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
I need your help
This wiki is being vandalized a lot recently, since you are the only active admin on this wiki, I want you to cleanup all vandals.

Can we work out a compromise for Minecraft Wiki talk:Community portal/Archive 39?
I will not accept simply changing Amatulic's link to the Weird Gloop Minecraft Wiki to "the new wiki", as this is misrepresenting their words. But obviously, if I just restore the link, you will block and revert me due to the Forking Policy. So I'm thinking maybe we can change it to something that makes it obvious that the link is being censored. Like perhaps censored link to new wiki? Noisy miner (talk) 09:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think that this shouldn't happen in the first place. The simplest solution you guys could do is just simply ask Amatulic if they want to allow SLScool to change their words. If they allow, SLScool can change their words. If not, he cannot change their words.

- If someone included a parenthetical note with links to stolen gift card codes in a larger message on the community portal, it would be against the rules (e.g., wiki rule #1). I would be well within my rights to remove said codes from their message and no one would call me a vandal for doing so. If someone advertised their personal server within a larger message on the community portal, it would be against the wiki rules (wiki rule #5). I would be well within my rights to remove the advertising from their message and no one would call me a vandal for doing so. If someone included a URL to the forked wiki within a larger message on the community portal, it would be against the rules (Fandom forking policy). I would be well—well, you get the idea.
- After seeing your idea, I asked StuckInAHypickle to contact Amatulic on the forked wiki's Discord server (since they're both in that server). I'll wait until Amatulic replies to make a decision. SLScool 05:14, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- False equivalence. Amatulic did nothing wrong. There is nothing wrong with mentioning the link of the Weird Gloop Minecraft Wiki. It's not a malicious site. And it was relevant. Fandom is a really greedy and jealous company to censor the link. It's especially egregious that they did it when Amatulic had a very good reason to talk about the new wiki. What is Fandom thinking? Do they really think that people won't know the link if they censor it, as if it wasn't the top result on Google for "minecraft wiki"? Noisy miner (talk) 06:28, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think you should calm down and don't think about Fandom too much if you hate it. You should mind on you own thing on that site instead of this site and Fandom. After all, Minecraft Wiki had been moved to the new site for almost a year ago, so it's kinda pointless to mention about the evilness of Fandom now. Even if Fandom were less evil (by a lot), it would be too late as the majority of people had decided to still stay on the new wiki. Now I did not said you to not hate Fandom, it's okay to hate Fandom, I accept it. What I wanted to tell you is to not mind about this wiki and Fandom at all if you hate it. I don't really encourage you to editing on this site, all I wanted for you is to not vandalize this site and just enjoy editing on the new site.
Brain180, "click here to talk" 08:24, 14 September 2024 (UTC) - "There is nothing wrong with mentioning the link of the Weird Gloop Minecraft Wiki."
- It breaks a rule. That's what's wrong with it. I don't understand how you're denying that, unless you think rules only apply when you agree with them. SLScool 16:41, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- If the only thing wrong with it is that it breaks a rule, it's not really wrong. Then it's just against the rules. Unlike the things you compared it to, which are actually wrong. Also, the Forking Policy actually exempts the discussion of the fork from the rule against using the fork URL, which honestly, this should count as. Noisy miner (talk) 03:27, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- If we're separating "really wrong" from "against the rules," then I agree that it's not very wrong. I don't see how that has any relevance to whether the link is allowed or whether your compromise is good, but I do agree. As for an exemption to the policy: you're welcome to try again to change their minds. The policy consistently refers to a singular discussion, which in our case would be Minecraft Wiki:Moving from Fandom, so you'll probably have to convince them to allow multiple discussions, including discussions post-fork.

Undelete page User:Brain180/10000 oldest edits/1-250
Hello, can you undelete the page User:Brain180/10000 oldest edits/1-250? This page was actually created by Things7771 which is banned from some reason, I think this page was mistakenly deleted by Miss Toki when she tried to "clean up" all pages that was created by Things7771. Since I had some progress about the page and don't want to start over again, I think the best option is to undelete this page.
Brain180, "click here to talk" 16:32, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- Done. SLScool 16:51, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
YOU CRAZY?????????
Why are you deleting the articles of snapshots, pre-releases, release candidates, etc. of old versions of Minecraft? This makes me difficult to know more about the development of Minecraft!!!
WarioGamer2023 (talk) 14:26, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- According to SLScool on the Community portal, the reason why there's no snapshot articles (aside from joke snapshots) is because:
"If you've worked on snapshot articles since the fork, I want to say thanks and point out, instead of making mediocre snapshot articles, you could now focus on making really great content articles." -SLScool
If you wanted to see the snapshot articles then you should go to the new wiki, I don't really required to stay on this wiki (I'm still working on this wiki because it's my "temporary job").

Requesting unprotection on Minecraft clone page
Hi SLScool, it's been almost a month after you protect the article I created for counter-productive edit warring, LeafDecay was right after all. The protection of that page done by you is considered "unfair", and should must reversed its protection level back to its normal level, plus for us to continue my edits here, as I'm the one who created that page.
As soon as possible upon responding to my reply, please unprotect that page as my consensus is reached here on that article's talk page.
- DelCastillo8405 (talk) 13:58, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Delete all snapshot images
With the deletion of all snapshot pages (that your bot did), it made all images from all snapshots become useless and unused. You can easily check this on this page. I therefore want you and your bot to delete all snapshot images, but don't delete release images and joke snapshot images. I hope you do it, have a nice day!

Why have two wikis?
I know somebody else has discussed about this topic before but I want to bring it up again because I just want to ask you a few questions that was left unanswered the last time. Somebody asked about this very same topic
I understand that you want to still maintain this Wiki because of a variety of reasons including the forking policy and Spam Obliteration and Prevention on search engine rankings but hopefully you understand by now that the majority of the community prefers the other dedicated Minecraft Wiki instead of the fandom one, which is why many of these users are encouraging other users to go to the new Wiki which you are preventing them from doing by rewarding their edits
Why would you want to revert their edits that encourage users to redirect to the new Wiki?
Danibrit1159 (talk) 16:21, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- You pointed out that the forking policy is why this wiki still exists; that policy is also the reason why users may not link to the fork. I enforce Fandom's rules. SLScool 17:42, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see too many fork URLs. But I see other forms of vandalism, like misinformation. While I don't condone vandalism, it kind of disappoints me that people apparently don't know how to circumvent the filter. And fun fact, Pokemonfakemon Wiki is an example of a wiki that was taken down after being forked. Noisy miner (talk) 03:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
I need your help (again)
Plz do something to stop the user EselEsel. I'm sleepy rn as I stayed up all night and I need some sleep.
Brain180, "click here to talk" 22:16, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Okay actually, this has been resolved, EselEsel was finally get banned by Miss Toki, this was so bad that during that time, I was unable to open any pages, even the home page. Now I'm can finally sleep peacefully.

New section
Hi SLScool, I see you deleted Bundles of Bravery drop article but, I didn't copy the source from the new Minecraft Wiki, I just paraphrased it to make it much different from the new Minecraft Wiki.
- DelCastillo8405 (talk) 01:59, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- First, I must apologize for not properly checking the contents of your article before deleting it. I saw former director and current fork administrator MarkusRost nominate it for deletion, I glanced at your latest revision (which I have pasted below) and the version on the fork (2717722) for about two seconds, and I deleted it. Now that I'm actually looking at it, however, it doesn't seem like a copyright violation to me. While the specific information probably came from the fork, the article very strongly resembles previous update articles, such as the first revision of Trails & Tales, which is fine.
- @MarkusRost: Can you comment on why you think this was a copyright violation?
{{Theme
|date=?
|version=
* [[Java Edition 1.21.2]]
* [[Bedrock Edition 1.21.40]]
|prev=[[Tricky Trials]]
|next=[[Winter Drop]]}}
'''Bundles of Bravery''' is an upcoming game drop that features [[Bundle]]s and its 16 colored variants, and [[Hardcore]] mode for [[Bedrock Edition]]. It is set to release at some point within 2024. It was announced at [[Minecraft Live 2024]].
[[Category:Named updates]]
- Erring on the side of caution, I'll keep the article deleted for now. SLScool 23:55, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- Note that unsourced paraphrasing is still copyright infringement. Also, because the moved Minecraft Wiki still uses CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0, using anything from the moved wiki here would be in violation of that wiki's license due to the non-commercial clause and Fandom's inherent commercial nature. Fandom may have an NC waiver in their license terms, but the moved wiki certainly does not (nor does it provide an exception to certain websites). Basically, don't even consider the moved Minecraft Wiki exists if you're contributing here. Not to mention that Fandom, in their - frankly, ridiculous - zeal to stop people linking to the moved Minecraft Wiki, has made it pretty much impossible to properly provide a source link to that wiki due to their global filters. DarkShadowTNT (talk) 12:32, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- (Great, mentions don't notify on Fandom) I marked the article as copyright violation because the original page creation was using templates that only exist on the forked wiki. This confirmed that the article was a derivative of the forked wiki and as such would have to follow our CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0 license. I only mark articles for deletion that I am sure about are actual copyright violations. That's why I didn't mark Winter Drop for deletion at that time, however considering that the author above confirmed that they were using the forked wiki as source, that article would be a license violation as well. -- MarkusRost (talk) 🐴 13:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- SLS saw on the template doc that mentions don't notify on Fandom since 2019, so he asked me to ping you in your Discord server. I was just about to ping you, but looks like I don't need to StuckInAHypickle (talk) 19:00, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- So I did some research, and this is a copyright violation. I think you're trying to say it's okay because it looks like it was copied from another article on this wiki. Or you say it was copied from the forked wiki's article, but since that article was based on older version articles like Trails & Tales, it's okay. That's actually false. None of it matters just because it was copied from the forked wiki's article, plain and simple. It's like the SkyBlock lawsuit, Microsoft can't claim to own SkyBlock just because it was made in Minecraft.StuckInAHypickle (talk) 19:57, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Your talk page needs archive
Okay SLScool, at this point this is no longer a talk page, it's a whole chat room. I think you should make this page an archive at somewhere in the future, because I think 53 topics is way too much for me (and probably for anyone else).

- "its a funny joke". Yeah, only you found this funny, no one else is laughing. Like bro thought that someone would have time to visit this already outdated wiki, review and laugh at your joke. Anyways, if the only purpose of you editing the wiki is to vandalizing ít, then GET OUT OF HERE!!
