In case you didn't notice the follow-up reply to your comment in my profile one or two days ago, the admins of this wiki can't do anything about that image since it's hosted on the Fandom Commons Wiki and not here – JEC _talk @ 01:49, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Important question

Is the official Technoblade easter egg on the Minecraft Launcher allowed on this wiki? (It is an official easter egg from Mojang.) I am having a dispute with another user about this. Minermatt122514 (talk) 21:09, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

I think that you are correct on the matter. Technoblade's crown is a feature built into the game that is important to address in the article, and disallowing it because it's "advertising a youtuber" just seems a bit silly to me. A note to both of you, however (pinging Minermatt122514 and ZaLink700), repeatedly reverting each other's edits over and over, especially spamming ALL CAPS in the edit summaries, is never a way to solve a dispute, and risks being blocked over. Next time, if something like this happens, I'd recommend starting a discussion somewhere to solve the issue, either on that page's talk page or just here (which I'm glad you did do eventually). --Madminecrafter12 (talk) 04:38, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

I sure wish the {{ping}} feature actually did something on this wiki. Amatulic (talk) 15:16, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Abuse filter

Can you please remove the abuse filter when removing sections? I am redirecting the page Heartstealer to the page Claymore#Heartstealer, and then the abuse filter disallowed me from removing a section. Can you please remove the abuse filter? 110.54.116.150 (talk) at 10:25 UTC July 13, 2022

I'd say no. It would have negative consequences in other situations, and the redirect is bad anyway; there is no "heartstealer" section on the MCD:Claymore page. If you want this done, fix the destination page first and then ask someone with a confirmed account to fix the redirect. Amatulic (talk) 17:57, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Alright

Delete this image File:Lightbulb.jpg -ZaLink700 04:59, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

I agree. There is no place for "tips" or "pro tips" in article space, and there is no need for it in tutorials, which are basically pages full of tips and pro tips. Amatulic (talk) 18:16, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Yeah because it doesn't look like Minecraft and "pro tips" don't really come around. ZaLink700 19:23, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

 Done. –Sonicwave ^talk 21:51, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Blocked by automatic filter when trying to edit

Bedrock_Edition_level_format/Block_entity_format

I attempted to fix a few typos ("postionn" -> "position") and was blocked with the following message:

> Error: Your action has been disallowed by an automated edit filter. A brief description of the matched rule(s) for your action is: Your edit contains an unwanted word. As a new user, your action has been disallowed. If you believe your edit was constructive, please post a message on the admin noticeboard or notify an admin directly. – Unsigned comment added by 80.47.130.203 (talk) at 17:35, 14 July 2022 (UTC). Sign comments with ~~~~

I just tried it and it worked for me. I'm not a new user though. And I edited only that section, not the whole page. Maybe there's a word somewhere on the page that's triggering the filter (the word "position" certainly wouldn't). In any case, the spelling error is fixed. Amatulic (talk) 18:13, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

One of the lines changed in the IP's edit included a blocked string inside another word which triggered the abuse filter, even though it was already there and not touched directly by the edit. I'm not sure what would be the best way to prevent these cases without allowing a significant amount of spam through. –Sonicwave ^talk 22:09, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Fart piano

Someone made it, view history for more. ZaLink700 03:53, 15 July 2022 (UTC) EDIT: Its gone

You don't have to announce these here. Just put a delete tag on it, and an admin will come along and delete it.

It occurs to me that this would be an interesting new sound for a note block. Like maybe if you put it over a slime block, it makes a fart sound. Amatulic (talk) 04:33, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!

I ACCIDENTLY PRESSED "ENTER" ON MY KEYBOARD AND MOVE "Chat" TO "C" WHILE I WAS PRETENDING!!!!!! THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ACCIDENT!!!!!!!! I'M SO SORRY!!!!!!!! ZaLink700 (talk) 04:49, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

It should be fixed now. Just be careful of how you move pages around so that the actual page history stays with the page, instead of just copypasting the contents to the correct location. If you aren't able to move the page directly back to its original title, it may be better to wait for an admin to delete the incorrect pages so it can be restored correctly; or see Wikipedia's instructions on Round robin moves for how to resolve such a situation yourself. –Sonicwave ^talk 05:35, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

More broken functionality

Since the recent wiki software update a month or so ago, I have noticed, in addition to the "patrol" feature disappearing from the Popups gadget, now diffs no longer have a "thank" option. I found this useful to acknowledge when someone corrected something I did. Amatulic (talk) 04:51, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

 Comment: It's not broken, bacause it appears on history pages. It seems to be a change made by staff on some config option for the extension globally. We could try to request it to get reverted back to how it was before, but we'd need a good reason anyway. Supeika (talk) 13:57, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

The good reason is that it was a useful communication aid that should still be available. Another reason might be that an "upgrade" to wiki software shouldn't result in downgraded functionality.

I never used it from history pages. I use "thank" from diff pages, where it used to work quite well.

As for page patrolling via popups, I do that from my watchlist. I don't recall it ever worked from history pages. Amatulic (talk) 21:50, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I thanked you from the history section as a test, and it works. TheGreatSpring (talk | contribs) 21:53, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I didn't see a notification, though. I used to. So something is broken Amatulic (talk) 23:25, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Creating a template called "Logic gate output table"

The following table is used on pages like Redstone circuits and Redstone circuits/Logic. Because of that, I want to make this table into a template, but the wiki says I don't have permission to create templates. I request the following table to be added as a template called "Logic gate output table". 73.27.171.243 22:10, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Logic gate outputs
Shows the output (red) of each gate, for each combination of inputs A and B (green).

A	ON	ON	off	off	Question Answered
B	ON	off	ON	off
A AND B	ON	off	off	off	Is A and B on?
NOT (A IMPLIES B)	off	ON	off	off	Is A on and B off?
NOT (B IMPLIES A)	off	off	ON	off	Is B on and A off?
A NOR B	off	off	off	ON	Are both inputs off?
A	ON	ON	off	off	Is A on?
A XOR B	off	ON	ON	off	Are the inputs different?
NOT A	off	off	ON	ON	Is A off?
A XNOR B	ON	off	off	ON	Are the inputs the same?
B	ON	off	ON	off	Is B on?
NOT B	off	ON	off	ON	Is B off?
A NAND B	off	ON	ON	ON	Is either input off?
A IMPLIES B	ON	off	ON	ON	If A is on, is B also on?
B IMPLIES A	ON	ON	off	ON	If B is on, is A also on?
A OR B	ON	ON	ON	off	Is either input on?

I can probably take this on later today (assuming I have the right permissions) - AD OffKilter (talk) 22:13, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

double link in Sheep (disambiguation)

Hello. I tried to remove double link on the page Sheep (disambiguation), but an abuse filter disallowed by edit. Please remove the double link. Thank you.--143.44.165.14 10:34, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't see any duplicated links there. To which link were you referring? Or do mean the very first one. Maybe that one doesn't need to be there... - AD OffKilter (talk) 14:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Italicize "Minecraft: Bedrock Edition"

Ancient City page can't be viewed on Firefox

The Ancient City page bugged and never properly display, only the sidebar and random ads or embedded "windows" managed to show (scrolling up and down won't help), tried starting Firefox or even restarting computer won't fix, not experiencing similar problem on other pages.

Sonickunckle (talk) 19:06, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

I tried looking at the Ancient City page in Firefox on both Windows and macOS, and it seems to work fine. Maybe you got a really bad advertisement that is stuck in your cache. Try viewing it from a private or incognito window. If it works there, then your main firefox window needs its cache cleared. Amatulic (talk) 19:50, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Appears to be fine in Firefox on Linux too. --AttemptToCallNil (talk) 07:16, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Can’t remove user talk:MegaMack02

I accused him/her/it of vandalism on Hell (biome). I soon discovered that it was a simple mistake, but I posted something on the user’s talk page about this. I was going to remove it (the page was empty beforehand) and I couldn’t. I went here because the notice told me to. Should it be removed? 101.185.66.160 01:22, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

There is no need. You can edit the page and blank the content if you want, but it might be best simply to leave a short apology about the misunderstanding. Amatulic (talk) 18:45, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Proposal: delete old add-on tutorials

Info on Formatting codes in minecraft and specifically Book & Quill (java)

Info on Formatting codes in minecraft and specifically Book & Quill regarding Java version; there was a change in the 1.18.1 update which allows for formatting text in book & quill in game, this works on the current releases as well. Can the wiki(s) be updated to reflect this? Bjornolil (talk) 20:29, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

That change can be done by everybody (including you), so I am not sure what are we discussing here right now. Also a friendly reminder, this page is for requesting action/comment of wiki admins (specifically), otherwise everything should go on Community portal or to respective talk pages. --TreeIsLife (talk) 21:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Several IP edits tried to add info regarding the use of the paragraph symbol (§) for formatting to the page, but these edits were reverted. For good reason. Formatting is not possible in Java Edition using just that symbol. Although the symbol might have said effect, using it is not possible without hacking the client or using 3rd party software. Formatting with the paragraph symbol has been replaced with raw JSON text formatting. That is the recommended method for applying formatting, as the underlying functionality of the paragraph symbol is going to be phased out at some point. Although not explained in this much words in the corrective edit summaries, this is what was explained and that is why this information is not added to said page. Assuming you're referring to the paragraph symbol. Jack McKalling (talk) 22:14, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Although json may be the "correct" way to format, the section sign can also be used, even in vanilla clients prior to 1.14 and later than 1.18.1 I have tested that on two different computers, my laptop (Windows 11), my desktop(Linux Mint 21). I do not use hacked clients, however I did use notepad to type the character first as I am aware it can't be typed directly in java edition, is that considered a third-party software then?. How to reproduce this: Open minecraft launcher, start a new game (any version where books are available (except 1.14-1.18.1). Copy the character § from notepad after typing it, paste in minecraft book, then type any format character (0-9,a-f, k-o) then type, the typed text will then be formatted.

I am sorry that I used the wrong page, however the first text on the community page includes this text: "..discussions about a single page do not belong here", so I wasn't sure where else to post it. Bjornolil (talk) 04:56, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Delete old add-on tutorials

Hi, as you might now a few weeks ago I proposed to delete old add-on tutorials, citing low activity, them being generally incomplete/unfinished and having better resources on places like wiki.bedrock.dev and official Microsoft docs.

Given the lack of interest, despite having deletion requests, right on the pages themselves, I decided to give a heads up that I would post the deletion request, if I didn't have any objections by the next weekend. That time has come. I thinks it's fair to say, that if anyone would have wanted to step up and maintain the pages, they'd have spoken up already.

Which is why I'm requesting to delete them. They've served their purpose and now they're effectively superseded by official docs.

I've updated the deletion requests to link to this page. -Madman1995 (talk) 18:48, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Update to DidYouKnow

Hi, it has been a while since the "Did You Know" facts page was updated, can you consider syncing it with the editcopy? Windwend (talk) 07:09, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Edit filter problem

In Talk:Bedrock Edition guides/Nether Update, I edited a section about the global moderation system. If you look in the edit summary, you can see "1.16.100 or 1.16.101… (added in hyperlinks due to edit filter claiming I posted a server IP x6, this is not vandalism x5)". I believe the edit filter go mixed up because 1. I was not posting a server IP, and 2. It is not vandalism. I don’t know why this happened. 1.158.238.102 08:41, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

I see your attempts in https://minewiki.pl/en:Special:AbuseLog?wpSearchTitle=Talk%3ABedrock+Edition+guides%2FNether+Update but I also see that you eventually were able to add it by redlinking them. The edit filter kicked in because you are editing from an Australian IP address that is new here, and you started out by posting a sequence of dot-delimited numbers that look like a server IP address in Korea. Once your IP address is no longer "new" (meaning it has made at least 10 edits) there should be no problem. Amatulic (talk) 17:39, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Version numbers look like IP addresses, I guess. And also, I hope to get 10 edits soon, so this wouldn’t be a problem in the future. 1.158.238.102 22:00, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

The page that you had made, along with the files that you used for said page, were deleted because it is in violation of rule 4 regarding nonsense pages. The wording on the page, as well as use of images multiple times across the page, is the reason why they were deleted as clearly nonsense. With how the page was set up and worded, it was clearly not a tutorial despite you saying otherwise. Please read over the rest of the wiki rules and the style guide before contributing further to this wiki. Thank you. BDJP ^(t|c) 17:47, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
