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

If you don't like the Forking Policy and want it changed, your best option is to contact staff.

No, they should not.

A+ Wiki Application

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)

Oh, okay, got it. Thank you tho. Hobbylos1 (talk) 17:42, 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.

File issues

Hello SLScool, in this Wiki, all of the files are flipped upside-down. And files within tables are using different textures instead of the textures they are supposed to be. This needs to be fixed. Thank you. HITHITHIT (talk • contributions) 05:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

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)

Biscuit has existed as a redirect since 2012. SLScool 19:07, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

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)

HITHITHIT is correct per MCW:LINK. Just as [[Creeper]]s is better than [[Creepers]], [[amethyst geode]]s is better than [[amethyst geodes]]. It's nice to see that, unlike with most edit war situations, you two actually started talking about it before I had to step in. SLScool 16:01, 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.

Undo last two Biome page edits

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. I tried to revert the changes, but the system flagged my edits as potentially harmful, citing Section 2. Could you take a look? Thanks!

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.
