Talk:Player

Hi, I note that the page have got recently protected so only administrators can edit it, Why? Full protection should not be needed without a notice before the page gets protected, and other users should also edit it. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT MAKED SO THIS PAGE HAVE GOT PROTECTED, AND ALSO FOR A LONG TIME. Please can an admin make the protection shorter or other editors must request edits to this page using this talk page. Any questions about this, ask them below. -- Philip57sundfors TALK CONTRIBUTIONS 09:53, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

A user was making a controversial edit that kept getting reverted, so it was fully protected to prevent edit war. However, I do think full protection until 2019 is a bit overkill - in my opinion I think it should have been protected for a month, and a note should be left on that user's talk page. I don't think that only administrators should be able to edit it for almost a year just because of one dispute with one user.-- Madminecrafter12^{👁 Image

Capopanzone has proposed the page be moved to Player for the following reason:
No other entity pages use "The" in their title, and "Player" is the in-game name for this entity (see string entity.minecraft.player)

 Oppose as it is referred to as the player in the End Poem. -BDJP ^(t|c) 21:01, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

If it was part of the name, "the" would be capitalized. the entity is called "Player", since the end poem is directed at one player (the one who sees it), that player is referred to as "the" player.

The actual entity name (entity.minecraft.player) should also be preferred over usage in big strings of text. (In case it isn't clear, I actually 👁 Image
 Support moving.) FVbico (talk) 21:10, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

As FVbico pointed out, "the player" in that context is a generic term used inside a text, so obviously it receives articles and stuff like that. The actual entity name for the player entity is just "Player", and you can check that by searching for the string entity.minecraft.player in the en_us.json file in any version from 18w02a onwards. Using the article just because a sentence directed to the actual player uses "the" before "player" would be like saying that the Ender Dragon page should be named "The Ender Dragon" because the the description for "The End... Again" advancement uses "the Ender Dragon".--Capopanzone (talk) 19:26, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

It's not corrupted, it simply means that whatever text is red is (if 2 years ago) still nonexistent. TheWitheringSkeletonizedHuskyStrayStorm1999 09:39, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

So the player does not take damage for three seconds upon respawning from death; this can be noticeable if you're killed by zombified piglins, the gamerule ForgiveDeadPlayers is disabled, and your spawn point is near your death location

Apparently Steve looks different. I changed one of my skins back to Steve in Bedrock and noticed he’s more detailed. This only affects 1.19.50 as far as I know. 1.158.238.102 10:59, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

With the new default skins out now, this page needs a massive update. Also, the arm size can now be changed for the default skins. --GamingBren (talk) 00:29, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Would it be wise to make sections for each of the new skins? They haven’t gotten any official variants yet, so I don’t want to assume they’ll get enough in a short amount of time to justify each getting a blurb, but on the other hand it feels disrespectful to just lump their renders together.

I believe that the nine default player skins should be split off from the player page to be consistent with how the spin-off namespaces treat such characters. The player page should just be about the player in general and in-game. Having separate pages for each of the default characters would allow space to explain more on how each one has been used by Mojang.

MCD:Steve and MCD:Alex in particular already have individual pages on the Dungeons namespace. I automatically 👁 Image

 Support, but... this is a tricky split. This isn't as simple as taking Pickaxe and taking only the information relevant to the Diamond Pickaxe to make the new page, we'd be writing a new type of article that covers a promotional character.

 Strong support Aside from what people have already said here, as the wiki starts to embrace the wider franchise more I think there should be a set standard for characters. There's already a good number of character pages, but they barely scratch the surface of how many there are, and the ones that are finished don't tend to feel like complete documents of their individual appearances.

Nope. The skins is what players use, so splitting them as separate wiki pages will not make sense for the main things these skins are for, being unique. Please, don't do the split! 2A00:23C7:A5A2:2B01:F5E2:567C:839A:4CD4 13:50, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I don’t understand your reasoning, the page will still refer to Steve and the gang. The split pages will just cover the characters themselves, while the player page focuses on the literal player entity. Realshow19 (talk) 14:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh ok! But just keep mentioning Steve and the gang on the player wiki page. 2A00:23C7:A5A2:2B01:F5E2:567C:839A:4CD4 14:26, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps there can be a statement added to the policy page wherein any more new default skins that Mojang adds should have their own pages?Drour1234 (talk) 19:42, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't think that's necessary since the fact that they'll have their own pages already communicates to all editors that each default skin having their own page is the standard. - Harristic / Talk 👁 Image

I changed the link to NBT format#Usage. That section mentions that empty lists may have unexpected values, and is probably the intended link.

 Disagree per MarkusRost. Looking at the history, the last time there was vandalism or disruptive editing appears to have been 3 weeks ago, and the second most recent time is 5 weeks ago. Brewing, which was protected earlier today, is a good example of when to protect a page. That page usually gets vandalized at least 1 to 2 times a week when it's not protected, and more than half of the recent changes are vandalism. Rampage455 (talk) 19:40, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

No. Player refers to the in-game entity. i.e. the thing in the game. You're robot controlling the game is not part of the game. So, "player" here actually means "the player character". Not the thing playing the game. --Simanelix ^(T|C) 01:29, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

 Soft oppose it being in alphabetical order is fine.

NmF (talk) 12:37, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

I do see an argument for Steve being the default for historical reasons. Even if he's considered "equal" by Mojang to other skins, most people see him as the face of Minecraft which cannot be said about other player skins. But again, this is an article about the player and not Steve, and him not showing as the infobox default may subtly enforce that point. Therefore, I think Alex does the job well because not only is it alphabetical, it being the second oldest skin balances recognisability as well as being about the player and not the skin.

 Oppose Alphabetical ordering is less subjective, and the page isn’t about the gang as characters or symbols but the literal player entity. If there had to be an “iconic” order to these characters we would probably use the in-game selector’s, and that would still put Alex first. Realshow19 (talk) 14:16, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
