Do you play console?[]
I'm trying to figure out who plays console around here. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 21:31, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
I'm still interested in knowing if you're a console player! – Sealbudsman talk/contr 01:20, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
I played until TU33/34 came out. I no longer play console now due to reasons. I only play the PC edition now. Delvin4519 (talk) 16:23, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
- Your reasons check out. Thanks! – Sealbudsman talk/contr 18:01, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
User:Delvin4519/Minecraft PC version history[]
Are you planning on keeping this page accurate and up to date? There's quite a lot of information on the page regarding early versions that has since been proven incorrect and fixed elsewhere on the wiki, so it might be a good idea to fix such information on the page as well. - User-12316399 (talk) 22:19, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
Your recent edits favoring Java Edition[]
I've been noticing recently that you're making quite a lot of edits that include reordering of items to match their sequence in Java Creative inventory. I would ask you to stop doing that and to revert the reordering parts of your edits, as it directly violates a June, 2017 consensus that we should not give preference to one edition over another. The consensus was reached here.
The problem with putting these items into Java Creative order is that, without a consensus giving Java priority, somebody else (like me, for instance) can come right behind you and put them in Bedrock Creative order. The next thing you know, it's a contest, then an edit war, and somebody (actually, everybody who plays the losing edition) has to give way for no good reason. Besides, treating your preferred edition as exalted and everybody else's as subordinate is disrespectful. It's counter to universal wiki philosophy.
Of course, it may be that a superseding consensus later overrode the one I'm referring to; if so, I'd be grateful if you would please point me to it. But I really can't conceive of the Minecraft Wiki community agreeing to play favorites.
Whoops! I was reading too much into your edit summaries and not studying exactly what you were editing. It appears now that you only reordered information in History sections, which of course is inevitably edition-specific. Sorry! — Auldrick (talk · contribs) 02:02, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Most items reordered concerns colored materials. Java and Bedrock share the same order in colored materials in almost all cases (in the case of bedrock, it is most likely a bug with dyes, banners, but thats about it, almost all colored items are ordered basically the same). The same goes for wood materials as well (the order is generally fixed across java and bedrock with very few minor exceptions). In other cases (walls, stairs, smelting recipes, etc.), items were ordered so wooden blocks come first before stone, then food, items, etc. Bedrock is mostly the same (wooden stairs appear towards the front of the column, smelted food comes before smelted items anyways).

- Alright, all affected articles discussed have any mention of any particular edition removed. The above comment applies for those with no preference (re: wool colors, plank types). Delvin4519 (talk) 03:56, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Dithering on images[]
Hey, I've noticed on some images you've uploaded, there's a dithering effect on some areas. What software do you use? That might be a result of saving at a lower bit depth, where dithering is applied to approximate certain colors that can't be represented. – Unavailablehoax (talk) 05:51, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Its likely from file compression. I was using this tool: https://www.imagesmaller.com/ If it needs reuploading, try to use the same screen resolution size and GUI size, since in some cases it change the layout. (Recipe books need all recipes unlocked). I still have the original files here, but they need to be
edited down for transparancy andre-compressed: I'm not aware of a good tool to compress files. Delvin4519 (talk) 14:38, 29 August 2023 (UTC)- Alright, I've tried another compression method. I think it should work. Delvin4519 (talk) 19:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- If you're concerned about file size, a good tool quite a few editors here use is FileOptimizer. It takes any file it can optimize and runs it through a bunch of different programs that results in about the smallest file size you can expect without any degradation in quality, i.e. true lossless, as opposed to visually lossless or lossy compression such as jpeg. Though I wouldn't sweat it, images are compressed into webp when served to readers, so any compression you do beforehand has negligible effect, if any, for readers' download usage. – Unavailablehoax (talk) 04:54, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
