How to report a bug or share an idea

Welcome to the feedback forum for the Minecraft 26.x update! Post here if something broke, works differently or could be better since we moved to 26.2. Staff check this forum regularly and keep every thread's label up to date, so you can always see where your report stands.


Before you post​

  1. Check the known issues. Problems we already know about are listed in Known issues and what's next.
  2. Search this forum. If someone already reported it, vote for their thread instead of starting a new one, and reply there if you have new details. Votes show us how many players are affected.
  3. Make sure you're on 26.2. Many problems come from the wrong game version or old mods. What's new for you explains how to set it up.


Writing a good report​

  • One thread per issue or idea. Two problems in one thread are hard to track, and one of them usually gets forgotten.
  • A clear title. "Custom signs in Minas Tirith show vanilla textures" helps us much more than "textures broken".
  • Fill in the fields. Type (bug, suggestion or question) is required. Server and Minecraft version & mods are optional, but for bugs they often make the difference.
  • For a bug, tell us: what you did, what you expected, what happened instead, where it happened (world and coordinates: press F3), and whether it happens every time. A screenshot or short video helps a lot.
  • For an idea: describe what you'd like and why it would help. Mockups and screenshots are welcome.
For bug reports, you can copy this into your post:
Code:
What I did:
What I expected:
What happened instead:
Where (world and coordinates):
Does it happen every time?:


What the labels mean​

New threads start without a label. Once staff have read your thread, they give it one and change it as work progresses:
LabelMeaning
(no label)New, not looked at yet.
Bug | IssueStaff have read it and filed it as a bug.
SuggestionStaff have read it and filed it as an idea.
TestedThe fix is on our dev server, where we test it before it goes live.
ResolvedFixed, or the idea has been done.
Not ValidNot a bug, already reported, or something we won't change. We'll always say why.
Once a thread is Resolved or Not Valid, voting on it closes. Use the Filters button at the top of the forum to find threads by label. Tip: watch your thread to get an alert when staff reply.


Good to know​

  • Questions are welcome too. Stuck with something since the update? Pick Question as the type.
  • Security problems, meaning anything that could harm the server or other players' builds or accounts: please don't post them here. Message a staff member directly.
  • Rule breaking doesn't belong here. Use the Report button on the post, or contact a staff member.
  • Be patient and friendly. Everyone working on MCME is a volunteer, and we'd rather fix things properly than quickly.

Thanks for helping us make the update better!
