1.21.5 blocks
[edit source]The 1.21.5 blocks are not in the list of blocks can they be added? 2607:FB91:1CC5:BAEB:AC39:BB92:6B06:AC17 15:37, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- The update isn't out yet, so that's likely the reason. Plus, there might be some unaccounted for blocks that Mojang could be adding in the update that we don't know about. It's best to just wait until the update drops or we know more about it definitively.

- Ah, I guess I'm just used to some other Wikis having strange policies against documenting unreleased content.

- I will add them soon (within a week, I'm quite busy lately) when I have time. The image files are already uploaded, so I just need to put the images into the page in the correct places alphabetically. --MinecraftExp123(talk|contribs) 01:06, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
Block hight
[edit source]Because of the Minecraft Movie they’ve said that the block hight 6 dm high (0,6 meters) 83.188.250.71 15:20, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thats because it would be too big to make a block 1 meter in the set. Minecraft blocks are still 1 meter big.

Split list of blocks into categories
[edit source]Would anyone here support splitting up the list of blocks into categories, or even making a new page where blocks are split up into categories that make more sense, e.g. wood, stone, nether, ores etc. Instead of putting them in a single long alphabetised list.

Support More categorization is always nice. MeowMeow123 (talk) 22:59, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
- If you go to the page "List of Blocks" (without redirecting to this page) you can see what the new page would probably look like Cyan8888 (talk) 21:53, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
Bring back Template1.png
[edit source]It's ridiculous that in the history of the page, every english page since June 22nd 2009 shows the up to date template of "Block overview.png". I can see in the talk archives that it's been requested to be removed since it's less convenient than a table but the actual historical file should not have been deleted. 2A01:CB10:9351:2100:749F:C8A4:1DD2:44A 23:03, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- The file was never deleted, it was moved, so the page history was also moved. Nothing was deleted, so what are you saying here?
NmF (talk) 23:08, 31 January 2026 (UTC) - Template1.png has never been removed, it was renamed to "Block overview.png" and the old name was kept as a redirect. When you view a past revision of a page, things that are "external" to the page itself, such as files, are always loaded with the latest version; this is the normal behavior on any wiki that runs on MediaWiki, and it would have been the same even if the file was still named "Template1.png".--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 23:52, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Oh alright my bad, thank you Nmf and Capopanzo, I totally understand the situation now, the issue is not actually an issue, I could indeed find the file's history. But, to explain my confusion there : all French pages for Block (" Bloc ") before June 29th 2018 do actually have that problem I just described, I just assumed is was the same shebang in English. How did this happen? 2A01:CB10:9351:2100:749F:C8A4:1DD2:44A 23:58, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Most wikis in foreign languages can use both local files and files uploaded to the English wiki. Older versions of the French Bloc page linked to fr:Fichier:350px-Template1.png, which was a file originally uploaded on the French wiki and deleted in 2022. Later versions use Template1.png/Block overview.png, which is sourced from the English wiki. --Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 00:07, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you, again, my apologies for the sudden not-reasoned-enough outburst. Since we're on the topic, would there be some way to create an image file today in such a way that the old French pages do end up showing something, ideally images back as they did before 2022?
- If that were possible, I'd assume manipulating and moving the image so as to redirect to and show the current "Block overview.png" would be quite a pity and counter-productive SO, could one "fix" that part of the old pages back to their former glory or are they just ghostly stubs only kept alive by the archives, forever destined to roam in them, uneditable? 2A01:CB10:9351:2100:749F:C8A4:1DD2:44A 00:23, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- That's probably not possible, but you can view old versions of the file at File:Block overview.png, which includes old versions of Template1.png.
NmF (talk) 00:30, 1 February 2026 (UTC) - Deleted files and pages are never fully deleted, and administrators can still access and restore them. You can ask a French admin to restore fr:Fichier:350px-Template1.png, so that it shows up in old revisions of pages linking to it. If you create an account, you can also add it to your user page, so that the image technically is used in a page and you'll make sure it won't be deleted for being unused in the future. Keep in mind that old versions of pages can't be edited, and this still won't fully fix the issue (a revision from say 2013 would still show the latest version of the file). --Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 00:37, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

- If you do wish to see pages exactly as they looked at any time in the past, look the pages up on the Wayback Machine [1] (note: you have to use the old URLs, minecraftwiki.net, minecraft.gamepedia.com, minecraft.fandom.com). Nixinova T ⁄ C 01:19, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
The loading speed has slowed down a lot
[edit source]A lot of images are used here, the loading speed is really slow. I have a suggestion: use template {{BlockLink}} instead. That way, the amount of data in the text will be much smaller, and loading speed will naturally improve.
I've also brought up this proposal on the China Wiki, but no one responded. This proposal has already been implemented on the French Wiki, see fr:Discussion:Bloc#Listes des blocs and fr:Discussion:Bloc#Liste des blocs : Problème technique.

Neutral, wouldn't BlockLinks be just as slow, and what if some users want to see the block images instead of just small icons?
NmF (talk) 01:58, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- But I read that French wiki page twice and it does flow smoothly now. If you don't believe me, just go check it out: fr:bloc

- For me it takes about the same time.
NmF (talk) 02:05, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
- ok.
Am3tcy (Talk/Contributions) 02:05, 19 February 2026 (UTC) - It's been some hours. Any results yet?

Separating technical blocks
[edit source]I believe it would be good to separate the Java and Bedrock technical blocks because some are technical only in one version, putting them in a single list is confusing. I'm not talking about blocks exclusive to one version, but blocks that are non-technical in one version (usually the status of another block) and technical in the other.
Furthermore, there's no reason for the Java technical blocks to appear in Items, as they aren't items. I understand the Bedrock ones, but perhaps they could appear a little further down the list in Items, as they are only obtained using inventory editors or add-ons.
