The Minecraft Wiki has decided to leave Fandom and we finally have the new wiki up and ready! This allows us to bring many improvements such as significantly fewer ads and faster load times. Please see the following page for more details about the move.
ORIGINAL HEROBRINE STREAMS RECOVERED!
They were considered lost until a long-running project by Enderboss25 managed to locate both streams after about 14 years. The streams had been downloaded by the youtube user

Introducing Hey Wiki, a Java mod created by the Minecraft Wiki community that’ll let you easily look things up on the wiki while you’re in game.
All you have to do is to aim at a block, item or entity, and press H.

We’ve just hit 10,000 total articles, and the 10,000th was “Music Disc wait” ❗️
If you’re confused how this old disc is the 10,000th article, we’ll explain below
Really big news for Minecraft’s development
- There will be no more mob vote
- Instead of one big update per year (Tricky Trials), there will be multiple smaller updates per year (Armored Paws)
- Minecraft Live will happen twice a year
We’ve begun working on a mod that’ll let you easily look things up on the wiki while you’re in game.
It’s in early development, so stay tuned for its release! 🛠️
One year ago today, the Minecraft Wiki became independent
One year later and things have only improved thanks to the support of everyone and the work of our editors. So truly, thank you everyone!
Check out the retrospective article we’ve written to celebrate in the link below

I just realised that the inventory feature is called recipe book and the actual item is knowledge book but we don't have the budget for twitter blue or whatever that's called now so no takesies backsies

If you use a lava bucket as a fuel source in a furnace when smelting a wet sponge, the bucket will fill with water when the process is finished.
As a result of data driven enchantments being added in 24w18a, items now have tooltips that explain what some of the enchantments do. Only some of them though for some reason.
Here’s some examples:
On June 20, the wiki was contacted by Mojang to shorten all music on the wiki to 30 seconds to avoid copyright issues. Tracks by C418 were already shortened, of which 11 is exempt.
You can continue to listen to Minecraft music on various streaming services.
This April Fools snapshot is HUGE! It’s gunna take us a bit to get all this stuff documented 😰
In case you didn’t know, we document everything about April Fools content! So come help us out, make some pages, do some edits, upload some images, you’re welcome to help!
We always documented all discs on the wiki, but none of them had their own pages. All discs were combined into the single “Music Disc” page. However we recently decide to have a separate article for each disc, so that’s why a page for this very old item is the 10,000th article :O
Shoutout to

, the artist behind the Pixel Genesis cover, the mob vote videos, and other artwork that gets posted on Minecraft’s social media!
This “Minecraft Experience” can be seen on the Minecraft website, but it just takes you to the 15th anniversary page
…looks like Mojang leaked something on accident
Apologies, looking further into it, Minecraft is not coming to Steam, it was fake.
I mistakenly assumed Steam had some sort of measure in place to prevent random people doing something like this.
15 years ago today, the Minecraft Wiki (Minepedia at the time) was created by a user called Criticsquid
Today, we’re bringing back the extremely old logo for a short time to celebrate!
Happy 15 years of editing and reading! 🎉
Just a heads up:
We now formally prohibit the use of generative AI for editing purposes.
Please read the full policy (linked below) for further information, including exceptions.
For an incredibly long time, we’ve referred to these mobs as Steve, Black Steve, and Beast Boy. But we’ve realised that, well… there’s actually no source for these names.
So, this might be a shot in the dark but,
@notch
@docky
do either of you know their true original names?
In case you didn’t know, Indie Wiki Buddy is a browser extension that redirects you from Fandom to the forked Minecraft Wiki.
You never have to worry about clicking a Fandom link again, woah!

Did you know that baby variants of squids and glow squids exist, but only in Bedrock Edition?
It’s one of the less talked about parity differences, but here’s hoping they find their way to Java! 🦑
We are excited to announce to the Minecraft community that the first six non-English language versions of the Minecraft Wiki have now also moved to their own new websites! Read more about this and how you can help in our article:
Hello Tweeters, it’s me, Ivor from the mediocrely rated 2015 video game Minecraft Story Mode!
I recently took up wiki editing and the idiots gave me access to the Twitter account, genuinely no clue what they were thinking.
Anyway, give me some cool funny questions I’m bored.
For the 15th anniversary, Google has added this little version of Minecraft that you play inside of Google
You can access it by googling “Minecraft” and clicking the grass block icon at the bottom of the screen
