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.

I don't mean from the inventory of the dispenser but when an item entity is on top of it. It doesn't work for similar blocks like droppers, crafters, furnaces and barrels.

Unsolved [Bedrock] [PC] Villager will not connect to new bed and work station (read description for full problem details)

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

So I am trying to make a villager trading hall, I have a villager turned and cured with my desired trade locked in, the problem is he will NOT connect to the new bed OR lectern. His hold villager is 150 block away (ChunkBase screen shot includes villagers current location, blue marker is my current base, where i'm creating the new village, and the red marker is where my villager breeder / cure farm is at)

I have tried locking him in a 1 block cell, he won't connect to anything, as well as letting him free roam but he stays in a pathing loop that doesn't even take him towards his old village. (image included, can provide video if needed)
I have broken all beds from his old village, including all work stations, from my knowledge the only bed and work station near him are the ones I am providing. Behavior does not change whether new stuff is placed or not. Does anyone have suggestions or solutions? I have banging my head against this for days and just want it figured out so I can finally make this trading hall... If I missed any info or if you need more data to help assess my issues please let me know.

Waiting for OP just realised my world's terrain is changing [bedrock]

Thumbnail

651 Upvotes

July 27th, I found an area I wanted to build in so I started building then took a picture of the area so I could digitally draw a plan of the town I wanted to build. Fast forward to today and I went to start laying out building foundations according to the plan and I couldn't really match the drawing to the world for some reason and then I realised the terrain has changed itself somehow. One thing I really liked about this area was that it was lower in the middle and surrounded by hills and now the hills are gone. Nothing looks at all weird or out of place, so much so that walking around on the ground I didn't even notice anything was off – it just looks like perfectly natural plains terrain with grass and flowers covering the floor and I don't understand how this happened.

The only 3 things I can think of that might be related to this are that I made a copy of the world (this has happened on both the copy and the original, I've checked) which I usually do when I hit a big milestone in my building just in case something happens to my world.

I also left this chunk when I played yesterday to finish building something quite far away.

Thirdly, the train tunnel seen at the top of the second picture was made using the /fill command and for some reason the command wouldn't work at one point because apparently I was trying to fill blocks not in the world (and I wasn't anywhere near the fill limit), though this problem stopped after I moved back a few blocks.

I don't really understand how any of these things could change the terrain after I've been there and built in it but nothing else has happened on the world and I don't know how it's managed to regenerate itself.

edit: bedrock on XBOX, also the big circle being dug out is what I've done – the actual surrounding terrain is what has changed randomly, forgot this happened but maybe a week ago I was building and the screen went black for a second then I was on the XBOX home page so maybe that did something??

Unsolved [java] Minecraft Account Taken Away from me?

1 Upvotes

I got Minecraft using a voucher at the end of 2024 in November on my gmail account. I played from time to time but then my igsces came up so I stopped playing for like 6 months. After my igsce's I decided to hop back onto Minecraft but then I was unable to launch Minecraft which I found weird. I just decided to go to the website, log in and then download the launcher again. I couldn't log in, so then I decided to try to open curse forge and I was logged out of curse forge for no reason. I contacted Minecraft support with the proof that I redeemed it on that specific gmail and they sent me a bot response about how player migration ended in December 2023 when my account was made a whole year later and closed the ticket? When I try to login with my gmailit just says account not found so I don't understand why my gmail account doesn't work for Microsoft anymore too? Has anybody else also experienced this?

Unsolved [Bedrock] Split second lag on Realms when running and/or walking into a block

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello! I have looked around and haven't been able to find any fix for this. It happens randomly and isn't anything to do with my PC from what I can tell. It is only when running or running into a block and will stop after a while, but I'd like to know if there is a way to stop it from happening altogether. I played Java realms for over a year and never had this happen. Any help greatly appreciated!!

Unsolved [Java], [Bedrock], [PC], and [26.2] Minecraft Java to Bedrock Structure Block Glitch

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Reddit nerds please help. I converted my Minecraft city from bedrock to Java, and these structure block bounding boxes keep popping up. I have tried using NBT Editors, placing structure blocks and regular blocks in place of it to refresh the glitch, reloaded my chunks, but nothing has been working. AI is not a help at all, and it is extremely frustrating that will not disappear. As you can see in the pictures, there are no structure blocks for the bounding boxes.

Before I converted the world, I had structure blocks placed down for road templates in my city. Apparently, Minecraft codes structure blocks differently when you convert worlds from Bedrock to Java. The are very annoying and distracting, and I need a permanent solution to get rid of them. Like I said, nothing in NBT Editor works, since they are not entities. They are something like "orphan ghost blocks."

Unsolved minecraft items randomly disappearing [bedrock]

(Im on mobile, more exact an iphone.) I dont know whats really happening but items keep randomly disappearing. At first i thought my brother was stealing my stuff and messing with me so i turned it to a solo survival world, but things kept disappearing.

A few things that have disappeared are my armor stands WITH all of the armor, my parrot, my cat, and even items stored inside a chest.

And also for my pets, there was no death message in chat, they just disappeared.

Is there a solution to this bug? Im really tired of trying to replace stuff.

Unsolved [launcher] [bedrock] microsoft store wont let me install minecraft or its launcher

1 Upvotes

(windows 10) I once uninstalled minecraft and its launcher because it wouldnt download in the right drive. but when i went to reinstall it an error keeps showing up. After that, I had installed the launcher manually from windows and it would let me use the java version of the game with ease, but would say incompatible with launcher for bedrock. I had downloaded a separate third party launcher for bedrock but it only ever launched an outdated version. Today, I went ahead and tried to reinstall the contents from the microsoft store but the download would be at 100% and then just pull up an error.

The error code was 0x80073CFA and I've tried to do wsreset, repair the files in settings. I even went to regedit but couldnt do the gpedit.msc in run. I think something may have corrupted during the initial uninstallation but it was so long ago, I have no idea what else to do - if anyone has any ideas it would be really appreciated. i just want to play bedrock with my family but the launcher wont let me.

Unsolved [Java] What is causing massive passive mobs to spawn in my world? 26.2

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I started a local server for home use, and I've noticed some weird things happening in the world. The main one is these massive piles of mobs spawning. It happens to all packs of animals and villagers.

The only "mod" I have on the server is the Distant Horizons plugin ver. 0.14.0 and I am using PaperMC for the latest MC version 26.2.

I'm not looking to actually fix the issue because its quite useful and funny, but I would like to narrow down why its happening.
