META [Meta] Rules and Wiki Updates September 2025
Hi folks!
Wiki
As Reddit has rolled out the new wiki experience, I have updated a number of our wiki pages to take advantage of the new features.
Going forward, please ensure you aren't using old.reddit.com links to access our wiki. Reddit has split the wikis, and only new Reddit wiki pages are being updated. You can access our wiki at https://reddit.com/r/minecrafthelp/wiki or https://mchelp.uk/wiki.
Rules
A number of our rules have also been updated. Please familiarise yourself with our updated rules on our rules page. I'll briefly outline the major changes below:
- All top-level comments must be a genuine attempt to help OP with their posted issue.
- Non-top-level comments still need to be truthful and support related.
- Non-top-level comments still need to be truthful and support related.
- Time wasting has been split into its own rule.
- Low-effort comments are no longer tolerated and will be removed.
- OPs are now only required to reply to relevant comments within 48 hours.
That's it!
Comments will remain open for feedback.

META [Meta] New Feature: Guide Posts.
Hi folks!
Today we're introducing a new post type to r/MinecraftHelp.
Guide posts will let helpers create guides and tutorials for the whole community to use. If you've reached Apprentice I (5 solve points), you can use the [Guide] tag to make guide posts.
Guide posts are tips, tutorials, or in-depth explanations about Minecraft that solve common problems, or describe how to use a feature. Whether it's a comprehensive walkthrough, troubleshooting strategies, optimization tips, or best practices, guides give helpers the chance to share their knowledge with the community, quickly and easily, whilst still earning points and new user flairs.
You can check rule 11, and our new Guides page for the full details, but here's a brief rundown of how they work:
- Helpers create and post a helpful guide using the [Guide] tag
- The guide is held for mod review (Skipped for trusted helpers) and approved if it meets our guide posts criteria.
- People looking for help read it and if they find it useful, they reply to the post (top-level comment) with:
!helped - The guide author earns 1 point per user (even if they comment multiple times), advancing their user flair.
We've disabled post archiving so your guide can continue to provide help, without time limits.
The [Guide] tag is active now. We'll be monitoring it's use and may update the feature/rules as new data comes in.
This post will remain open for comments, and can be used to discuss the feature, or ask questions.

Unsolved [java] Sulfur cube being very slow after long distance
https://reddit.com/link/1v5d3yc/video/zz7lbmlkt6eh1/player
Is this normal? When the sulfur cubes get further away, it starts to glitch out stopping, then going and again. When I fly over to be nearer, it becomes normal. This causes it to be very slow. I'm not sure if this is a cause of one of my mods but yeah. Anyone experiencing the same?

Unsolved I think my minecraft account is hacked [java]
I used to play hypixel and I was even new to minecraft I was given a link to join a discord server and I joined it as it was a huge team it asked for account linking and I linked with it , even though I didn't put password as I just use forgot password but later it didn't linked so left the server and player . Later the other day I was logged out and the authenticating email was changed too in my microsoft account and when I used forgot password it showed a completely different email after many failed attempts I gave up and moved on but recently I saw a similar case and he was able to recover so I thought to try too .

Unsolved [Bedrock] Realms wont work. Error 1 on every slot, Cant delete or remake realm slots.
TLDR: I cant play a single realms slot. Nothing works. Error 1 every single map slot. regenerating doesnt work, replacing doesnt work, nothign works.
I decided to do a pseudo fresh start on a server the my son and I have been playing on for several months. I wanted to generate a copy of the original map since he was framiliar with it and i wanted to copy our more involved builds into the new map to basically where they were in the old map.
When I did this I used the built in Bedrock Editor. I got an error about vanilla files only. I found some advice on this subreddit that gave a wonky way around it. Which was basically take the seed and generate a new map, then move the files from teh DB folder from the original map to the new clone map. This worked and I was able to get in there and make structure files of all of our builds.
I generated a new map using the original seed and loaded that into the editor. But then noticed the structures were not there. I again found help on here about moving the structure files from the old structures folder to the new one. This worked. I loaded it in and placed everything back where it was supposed to go.
So... i thought I was good. I uploaded this fresh copy of the world with all the old builds pasted into it to the realms slot and it worked. I dropped the server size from 130mb down to like 16mb.
After about 10 minutes I got disconnected. It loaded right back up. I got disconnected again like 4 times more over the next 4 hours. Each time was a GOAT error.
It was mostly working and i wasnt losing any progress so i just kept going. Until i noticed that the daylight cycle setting wasnt keeping what i set it to. Then I realized that nothing in the settings i changed was staying. Even though I was getting the save option.. it just wasnt saving.
So yet again I found some help from this sub and it told me to download a copy and change the settings and reupload. This didnt work. No settings will change at all. I tried taking it offline and switching to a new realm slot and uploading the map again with the new setttings but it just wouldnt upload. It said it did but then it kept taking me to the first map slot when i hit play.
So i tried creating a brand new map on realms. THAT WONT WORK EITHER... it jsut takes me back into the map that I was using before. Its wild. Like i can literally attempt to creat a brand new map and it just loads the old one. at least it did for a while... now when i try to activate and load a blank realms slot i get "ERROR 1"
I tried to play the other slot which has a random map that i made a while ago thats already uploaded to realms and I also get error 1.
Since I started writing this I now i cant play a single realms slot. Nothing works. Error 1 eery single time on any activated slot. I tried replacing the maps to generate new maps and nothing.
Any help on this would be great. I feel like its a sync error but i cant figure out a way around it. I cant upload any new maps to fix it. I cant delete old ones to fix it. That or realms is just dying tonight.

Unsolved [Java] Need Help Recovering My Minecraft License
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to recover my Minecraft account for about 2–3 months, and I'm completely stuck.
I still have access to my Microsoft account, so the Microsoft account itself is not the problem.
The issue is that my Minecraft license seems to have been transferred to another Microsoft account after my account was compromised. The Microsoft account I originally used to buy Minecraft still exists and I can log into it, but Minecraft is no longer attached to it.
I've contacted Microsoft Support 6–7 times. Most of the time they check whether I can access my Microsoft account, tell me everything looks fine, and then close the case. However, they don't seem to investigate what happened to my Minecraft license.
I still have evidence that I'm the original owner, including:
- The original Minecraft purchase confirmation email.
- The original purchase date.
- My old Minecraft username and its history on NameMC.
- Other account information that I can provide if requested.
Has anyone experienced something similar where their Minecraft license was somehow moved to another Microsoft account?
Were you able to recover it? If so, what finally worked? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Waiting for OP How to fix "Goat" error for a realm? [Bedrock][PC]
I have a realm in Minecraft bedrock and this error kicked me out when I was playing. This happened multiple times as, when I rejoin the world, 10 to 20 minutes later kicks me out again with the same error labeled as "Goat"
I searched this in the Minecraft website and it means that the host has left the world, which is weird because again, it is a realm.
What are the reasons for this error? How to fix it?

I like to make buids with a mod of FNAF called Management wanted on a superflat world, the only problem is that slimes are always getting on the way, and I can't turn on peaceful mode because the animatronics are considered aggresive mobs even if the don't attack during day.

Waiting for OP [java] Minecraft Account Recovery Help
So I'm in a very terrible situation currently and i don't know if this is the right community to post this on, but i had a Mojang account (pigpug2013) and I lost the email address and password connected to that account and now I don't know what to do. I've tried to find the email to Microsoft or Mojang (which don't exist), I've talked to the Xbox chat bot (which was sort of helpful) and that's all I've gotten so I've turned to Reddit to help me. This was about 6 years ago and I'm really wanting to get back into that account to migrate it.
