Is "generally minor changes" correct?

In the lead section when mentioning the differences between Java and Bedrock, I'm wondering if "generally minor" is the correct phrasing, considering the two have some pretty substantial differences, just to mention a few: Redstone logic (e.g quasi-connectivity), Combat mechanics, Performance engines (Java vs. C++), Cross-play ecosystems, Modding capabilities on Java and Bedrock-exclusive paid content

I feel like these significantly impact gameplay and are structurally distinct, rather than just being "small differences."

I suggest this as better wording though if there's an alternative that also works I'd be down to hear it:

"Bedrock is updated concurrently with Mojang's original Java Edition, sharing the same core gameplay features while retaining several distinct technical and gameplay differences" Gauzecard (talk) 12:32, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Adding paragraph back

@Avienby: Taking this to the talk page because I broke the 3 revert rule. Why do you think the paragraph you keep adding back is notable enough to include in the article? NRP (talk) 19:43, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Because it's technically a part of US history and there's no article yet on the America.gov website to my knowledge. This is something people are going to remember, I certainly will. "Hey, remember when the president vibe coded a website for America and when you asked it to play Minecraft it rambled on and on?" Avienby (talk) 23:18, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
This is an article about Minecraft, not US history (calling it that is a stretch to begin with). It's trivia and shouldn't be in an article that already suffers from bloat. NRP (talk) 00:46, 2 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
and the part in question has to do with Minecraft? Again, you initially reverted the edit specifically due to one of the sources. I fixed it so that both sources were reliable instead of just the one, and then this argument happened. Avienby (talk) 00:51, 2 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
Being poorly sourced wasn't the only problem with it being added, it was just one of them. @Hellknowz: You just removed it too, could you help out? NRP (talk) 00:58, 2 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
This is obvious trivia and does not belong in the article or anywhere else on Wikipedia. There are thousands of random Minecraft mentions, references, memes, whatever all over the place. They have no lasting impact and do not belong in "Legacy". I'm sorry, but calling it "US history" is ridiculous and it's relevance to Minecraft is completely random. If people are going to remember it, then it can be included when actual sources discuss it in the future as an event that people remember.

This clearly should not be in the article. Sloppily created AI chatbots like this will do all kinds of nonsense.  Nixinova  T ⁄ C  10:08, 2 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

In billions of (simulated) years Minecraft will beat itself

Running the game for billions of years researchers have found the in game characters will eventually kill the final dragon, “winning” the game. Hyperbolick (talk) 21:25, 2 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Why did I add Verity (web series) at the Minecraft Page?

I added the Verity (web series) Page into the Minecraft Page beacuse Verity is considered notable and it has a separate article. Furbchess (talk) 08:35, 5 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

"It has an article" isn't reason enough to put it in this article. There's also articles for Steve's Lava Chicken, Minecraft Manhunt, and dozens of Minecraft YouTubers, and we don't put them all in this article. Verity is no exception. Please don't add it back.
