Description

The Minecraft Wiki is a public and editable website that is managed and maintained by a massive group of contributors from the Minecraft community and the wiki's administration team.

The wiki was founded by Citricsquid on July 16th, 2009 as a way to document information from Minecraft. From November 15th, 2010, it was hosted by Curse Media; first as a standalone wiki, and later as a part of Gamepedia. As Fandom purchased Curse Media on December 12th, 2018, the wiki also transferred ownership to Fandom, first remaining under the Gamepedia umbrella until all Gamepedia wikis eventually became part of the Fandom wiki platform. On September 24th, 2023, the wiki forked from Fandom and is since hosted by Weird Gloop. To learn more about the wiki's history, see also Minecraft Wiki:History.
