Minecraft Lore Wiki:Canon Policy

This page goes over what is canon for use on the wiki, and might not be the same as the views of Mojang Studios. The short answer is that everything official is canon.

What is canon?
If somthing in the Minecraft brand is made, is licensed by, or is owned by Mojang Studios it is a canon source of information about the Minecraft universe. This includes but is not limited to games, books, webpages and videos. Only in-universe things are canon. Notably, features from older versions and editions of Minecraft, including april fools versions, can be used as sources as long as they don't contradict other sources.

However some things are more canon than other things, due to being more important among other things, in this order (top being most canon):
 * Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition (latest versions)
 * Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Dungeons Arcade
 * Minecraft Dungeons: The Rise of the Arch-Illager: An Official Minecraft Novel
 * Minecraft Legends
 * Minecraft Earth
 * Everything else

What sources need to cited?
Information from the latest versions of Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition should not be cited on a page. Information from other versions or editions should cited in this style:

Minecraft Java Edition 23w13a_or_b

Information from Minecraft Dungeons, Minecraft Legends, and Minecraft Earth do not need to be cited unless it would be otherwise be unclear where the information is from.
