META [Meta] Rules and Wiki Updates September 2025

5 Upvotes

Hi folks!

Wiki

As Reddit has rolled out the new wiki experience, I have updated a number of our wiki pages to take advantage of the new features.

Going forward, please ensure you aren't using old.reddit.com links to access our wiki. Reddit has split the wikis, and only new Reddit wiki pages are being updated. You can access our wiki at https://reddit.com/r/minecrafthelp/wiki or https://mchelp.uk/wiki.

Rules

A number of our rules have also been updated. Please familiarise yourself with our updated rules on our rules page. I'll briefly outline the major changes below:

  • All top-level comments must be a genuine attempt to help OP with their posted issue.
    • Non-top-level comments still need to be truthful and support related.
  • Time wasting has been split into its own rule.
  • Low-effort comments are no longer tolerated and will be removed.
  • OPs are now only required to reply to relevant comments within 48 hours.

That's it!

Comments will remain open for feedback.

META [Meta] New Feature: Guide Posts.

1 Upvotes

Hi folks!

Today we're introducing a new post type to r/MinecraftHelp.

Guide posts will let helpers create guides and tutorials for the whole community to use. If you've reached Apprentice I (5 solve points), you can use the [Guide] tag to make guide posts.

Guide posts are tips, tutorials, or in-depth explanations about Minecraft that solve common problems, or describe how to use a feature. Whether it's a comprehensive walkthrough, troubleshooting strategies, optimization tips, or best practices, guides give helpers the chance to share their knowledge with the community, quickly and easily, whilst still earning points and new user flairs.

You can check rule 11, and our new Guides page for the full details, but here's a brief rundown of how they work:

  1. Helpers create and post a helpful guide using the [Guide] tag
  2. The guide is held for mod review (Skipped for trusted helpers) and approved if it meets our guide posts criteria.
  3. People looking for help read it and if they find it useful, they reply to the post (top-level comment) with: !helped
  4. The guide author earns 1 point per user (even if they comment multiple times), advancing their user flair.

We've disabled post archiving so your guide can continue to provide help, without time limits.

The [Guide] tag is active now. We'll be monitoring it's use and may update the feature/rules as new data comes in.

This post will remain open for comments, and can be used to discuss the feature, or ask questions.

Waiting for OP [Bedrock] is it absolutely necessary to link a Microsoft account to play any split-screen on PS5?

2 Upvotes

For context I’ve been looking to get Minecraft on my relatively new PS5 lately, and I have played it on Xbox before, but I’d really rather keep them separate for a couple reasons.

I’ve been told that I don’t strictly need a Microsoft account linked to play basic singleplayer minecraft which is all I do, but I remember that there is a couple trophies that require at least another guest account playing split screen since the zombie trick doesn’t work. My confusion lies in that the support pages say that I need a linked Microsoft account to play with other people split screen, but it’s rather vague about guest accounts ie. just another “me” with no account proper.

So basically, if I bought Minecraft then simply started up a world without linking a Microsoft account at all, could I still grab a second controller, log in with an offline [username](1) temporary player, and get the hand things to another player trophies?

For context, I play on pocket addition on android.

I've been dealing with this for months at this point. I have tried everything I can think of plus anything I can find online. Nothing has worked. I've tried messing with any settings option I can get my hands on, I have tried deleting and re-downloading minecraft about six or more times now, I have cleared the cache multiple times, I have restarted my phone multiple times, I have deleted every mod I had download including the behavior and resource packs, and so much more I can't even remember now. Nothing has worked. I am at my wits end. I don't want to factory reset my phone as I have a lot on here I'd like to keep. Please, if anyone has an answer or solution to this, that'd be greatly appreciated.

This is the newest version of Java. I haven't played on it in over 2 years. It says the version is 26.2. I'm not quite sure why, but oh well. But this popped up for the first time, and im using Windows 10 (which I know is vulnerable. My pc is just too weak for slop11.)

What should I do?

Unsolved [bedrock] On PC, having trouble keeping an armor stand upside down without having to use "Dinnerbone".

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

From the video, you can see the command block and command I've set up, plus me showing how it doesn't currently work.

I've tried setting it to repeating and always active, but that just makes it turn upside down and rightside up again rapidly every tick.

I've also tried just using the dinnerbone nametag, but the problem is that the smooth stone base of the armorstone shows the nametag "Dinnerbone," and when I'm trying to use that base as a plate on a table, the nametag is pretty obstructive.

I also don't have the luxury of placing item frames over the base to hide the nametag this time, since the armor stands are aligned with half block / block edges, instead of being aligned within the blocks themselves.

Waiting for OP Realm subscription issue (I’m desperate at this point) [bedrock]

0 Upvotes

If you have any connection at Mojang or have experienced this issue yourself before I’m BEGGING you for help, I know it’s a bit of a read but you need the context because I am completely lost and have been bounced between Mojang, Microsoft and Sony in and endless loop of “that’s not our fault”.

I have had a 10+ person realm that I’ve primarily hosted through my PlayStation 4. 4 days ago it got disconnected because the card the realm was tied to expired, and the payments lapsed. This has happened to me once before, and all I did was update my payment information and renew the subscription, no big deal.

Well this time I guess I attempted to charge the faulty card first, which obviously failed, so I changed the payment method to a valid card once I realized what had happened and tried again, but it didn’t work and the realm still showed as expired. I thought maybe it just timed out or something so I tried it one more time and got an error message reading that I’d reached the limit of purchased realms for my account.

Now I’m stuck in limbo. I have no idea what really happened, but I know somebody from Sony cancelled at least one of the transactions. I still get the error message though when I try to renew the realm. I haven’t been able to reach a real person at Mojang for help at all, Microsoft said I need to contact Sony because the transactions came from them, and that they don’t actually have any real way to get in on Mojangs back end to see what’s up, and Sony says they’ve done all they can and that I need to talk to Mojang.

What I’m wondering is if this is a matter of the faulty charge to the defunct card needing to completely clear as a failed transaction through the credit card company, Sony, and Mojang before I can try again? But how long would that take? I’m worried I’m going to lose the realm, it’s been a 3+ year survival build with extreme sentiment among my group of friends and family that plays on it, so I’ll do anything I can to not lose it.

If anybody can shed some light on this issue at all you have no idea how much I’d appreciate your help.

Waiting for OP [java] Are there naturally generating golden tools with multiple enchants? 1.21.10

1 Upvotes

I'm playing the colorbound challenge where you can only play using items of one colour.
I'm playing as the yellow player and have limited access to other colors to help my progression, and have only been able to use gold tools i've crafted or looted. the enchantment table doesnt have yellow and neither does the anvil restricting me from using them, so i see no way of advancing the level of my tools. from ruined portals i;ve managed to loot a full loadout of mending gear, but that is the only enchantment.

Are there any naturally generated loot tables which can include gold tools with multiple enchantments ?

Solved [java] How did someone find my Minecraft server

Post image
460 Upvotes

So basically I used the Minecraft server tool and started a server on my computer and port forwarded so my friends can join me, my friends can join me through my ipv4 but I used a tool called no ip so I can basically have my own hostname and I gave that to my friends, but then after playing a while a random come joins me and said how he found my server in the internet and warned me to whitelist my server. So if I whitelist it my server will be safe but what about the other stuff such as is anything else at risk such as my privacy and security of my network? How should I fix this so me and my friends can play with each other? This is 26.2

Unsolved [bedrock] [Xbox] Question regarding y levels during portal linking issue on a realm.

1 Upvotes

I play on a realm with many other people and have most portals linked up to a highway near lower bedrock in the nether. One player who lives in the middle of the server however refuses to move their portal (in the nether) lower so almost all other portals will link to that one as its y level is higher. Another friend is on a mountain and wants their portal linked to the network in the nether but it keeps going to the players portal that is high up. Any way to fix this issue without the player having to move their portal? (hopefully this is easy enough to understand.)
