Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

Change "...players have the option of a third-person perspective." to "...players have the option of two other third-person perspectives."

Change "...only when players are nearby." to "...only when players are nearby. Each world has a typically impassable world border one chunk before the 30 million hard limit, however it can be bypassed using ingame commands." Cassidy Renno (talk) 02:57, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. While I don't play the game, I trust you're likely correct; however it would be original research to include it in the article without it being referenced to a reliable source.
