About BlockPedia
BlockPedia exists because most Minecraft answers are buried in 20-minute videos. We publish the answer itself: dense, table-driven guides and free tools you can use mid-game.
Our editorial standard
- Tested, not scraped. Every number — Y levels, potion durations, XP formulas — is verified in a vanilla survival world before publishing.
- Versioned. Each guide shows the Minecraft version it was last verified against, and we re-test after major updates.
- Dense on purpose. Tables over paragraphs. The answer first, the explanation after.
Who runs BlockPedia
BlockPedia is a one-person project run by ZMT — a Minecraft Java Edition survival player of many years who got tired of 20-minute videos for a 30-second answer. Every guide is written from a fresh vanilla world: ZMT boots a clean save, reproduces the mechanic, records the raw numbers, screenshots the result, then distills it into tables and diagrams. No AI-generated filler, no paraphrased wiki copy — if a number is on this site, it was observed in-game.
This is not a content farm. It is one player's tested notes, published so you don't have to re-run the experiment. Suggestions, corrections and business inquiries are welcome at hello@blockpedia.net.
How we test (our setup)
Trust is the whole point, so here is exactly how a guide earns its numbers:
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Edition | Minecraft Java Edition — the version the vast majority of our readers play |
| Version verified | 1.21.x — we re-test after each major release and bump the "Last verified" date on the page |
| World type | Vanilla survival: no mods, no cheats, no creative shortcuts |
| Method | Reproduce the mechanic in a fresh world, record the raw numbers, screenshot, then distil into tables and diagrams |
| Correction policy | Found a change in a snapshot or update? Email us and we re-verify it within the next update cycle |
How we make money
BlockPedia is free to read. We fund it through display advertising and, occasionally, affiliate links (for example, server hosting or gaming gear we genuinely recommend). Affiliate relationships never change our test results or recommendations — see the Affiliate Disclosure.
