Planning ahead: handling Jesse's gender
I am going to suggest that when we start writing this out with episodes being released that we assume Jesse is male to make it cleaner in using pronouns as to avoid constant use of "his/her" "he/she", etc. This should be a fact stated in a leading sentence on the story section. --M ASEM (t) 00:40, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Avatars? newbie?
I'm pretty sure in the game it isn't that the characters you see are said characters' avatars, nor is Jesse described as being a 'newbie', not progressed much from the starting point perhaps, but not a 'newbie'109.152.83.36 (talk) 21:23, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Minecraft: Story Mode
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Minecraft: Story Mode's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Episode 4": From Game of Thrones (2014 video game):  From The Wolf Among Us:  From Tales from the Borderlands:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:30, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Episode 4 reviews

Awards section
Could anybody an Awards section for Minecraft: Story Mode? The reason why is because there maybe some awards that nominated the game including the upcoming Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2016. If anyone can add that in, I would be most pleased. Thanks. Zacharyalejandro (talk) 20:47, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Reception cleanup
Consensus is to not use GameRankings unless it adds value atop or in the absence of Metacritic. The GameRankings scores should be removed and the number in the prose should be written in a prose-worthy format (e.g., The game received "generally favorable" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.)  czar  22:50, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Continuing their portal journey in search of home, Jesse and crew land in a world entirely controlled by PAMA - a sinister "thinking machine" determined to command everyone and everything in pursuit of optimal usefulness and efficiency.

has said, Reuben dies in episode 4. However, he is said to have a memorial, in which in episode 5, Jesse and his/her friends visit. That was why Reuben should be mentioned in that episode.

Changes review: 5/6/17 UTC
Hi, ! Thank you for editing Wikipedia, and for helping explain confusing parts of this article!

I found some of your changes in a recent edit somewhat confusing, as some of them only partly answered some of my questions (or seemingly didn’t answer them at all), so I'm going to go over your changes to see if we can figure out what the full answers to my questions are by reviewing how they were partly answered. Some of them may have answered my questions, so I'm going to go over those changes too to see if they did answer my questions in the way that I thought they did. Please let me know anything you want to say about this change list (telling me whether or not I'm right about what I think your changes were meant to fix, clarifying things I found confusing, etc.) in a follow-up comment.

''Note: This uses wiki-markup, so Clarify span tags are written in source code. An explanation of what they mean is written in the documentation for the Clarify span template. Also note that the and  tags (only visible if you edit the page) are only here to make wiki-markup appear, and not because they were actually in the wiki-markup of the original. See Help:NOWIKI for details. Please let me know if you have any questions about what the tags mean.''


 * Change 1:
 * Before the change:
 * Back at the competition (which the group either wins or loses, depending on whether or not Jesse's friends )
 * After the change:
 * Back at the competition (Whether Reuben is following Jesse, depending on whether Jesse choose to let his friends to follow him help finding Reuben or not)
 * This change looks like it was meant to clarify who was being followed, when they were being followed, and where they were being followed, the answer to this being that it was Jesse who was being followed when they were looking for Reuben. It also answered the unasked "why" of the question, the answer being that Jesse's friends were following them to help them look for Reuben. If this is true, then the fairly clear sentence might be:
 * Back at the competition (which the group either wins or loses, depending on whether Jesse let their friends help them search for Reuben)


 * Change 2 & 3 (these two changes are related):
 * Before the change:
 * Unable to get into the building Ivor ran into, the group, joined by the sympathetic Ocelot leader, Lukas, allowing them to sneak
 * After the change:
 * Unable to get into the building Ivor ran into, the group, joined by the sympathetic Ocelot leader, Lukas, figured out the way of breaking the chicken-cages to distract(or to say "frighten") the ticket seller Reuben(he mentioned his name in Chapter 8) allowing them to sneak in the Lecture hall.
 * These changes looks like they were meant to clarify who or what the group was distracting, and where they were sneaking in, the answer to this being that they were distracting a ticket seller, and that they were sneaking into a lecture hall. However, this doesn't answer whether this was related to the group being able to get into the building Ivor went into. If it is important that the group was delayed, then that question is still relevant. If it is not important that the group was delayed, this sentence can simply be omitted, making the relevant chunk of the plot summary go like so (if my above suggestion is taken):
 * Back at the competition (which the group either wins or loses, depending on whether Jesse let their friends help them search for Reuben), the deal goes bad when Ivor, the man Petra sells the skull to, rips her off and flees. (Sentence in question omitted here. Note: This parenthetical note would not actually be in the article.) Following Ivor into an underground laboratory, they discover him making a Wither, an incredibly dangerous creature, but are unable to stop him.


 * Change 4:
 * Before the change:
 * Ivor loses control of the Wither, which, transforms into an advanced, more horrific version of itself, called 'The Wither Storm'.
 * After the change:
 * Ivor loses control of the Wither, which, controlled by the command-block Ivor used to COMMAND the Wither.But it transforms into an advanced, more horrific version of itself, called 'The Wither Storm'.
 * This does add extra information, in that the Wither was controlled by the command block, but this still doesn't answer any of my questions. How is the command block relevant? How does the Wither transform into the Wither Storm? (Also, how is the new information relevant?) If these questions are not answered, I will revert this sentence to how it was before the change, as it is now somewhat less clear (due to the change adding new, possibly irrelevant information and removing old information (the Wither transforming because of the command block)).


 * Change 5:
 * Before the change:
 * It then destroys the town, forcing the group to escape into the dangerous Nether, Petra and Gabriel in the process.
 * After the change:
 * It then destroys the town, forcing the group to escape into the dangerous Nether, when the group escaped to the Gabriel castle, Petra and Gabriel were lost when they fight the Witherstorm.
 * This does add extra information, in that it explains when Petra and Gabriel are lost. However, it still doesn't answer my question: What does it mean for Petra and Gabriel to be lost? If this question is not answered, I will revert this sentence to how it was before the change, as the change added new, possibly irrelevant information.


 * Change 6:
 * Before the change:
 * Gabriel sends Jesse's group to find Order members Magnus and Ellegaard, and gives them an amulet to guide them.
 * After the change:
 * Gabriel sends Jesse's group to find Order members Magnus and Ellegaard, and gives them an amulet(the Order amulet) to guide them.
 * This does add extra information about what the amulet is called. However, it doesn’t answer my question: How is Gabriel in contact with Jesse’s group, as he is apparently lost? If this question is not answered, I will revert this sentence to how it was before the change, as what the amulet is called seems to be contextually insignificant.


 * Change 7:
 * Before the change:
 * In the Nether, the group finds a train track left by the Order,
 * After the change:
 * In the Nether, Jesse's group finds a train track left by the Order,
 * This removed a comment explaining why I made a change I did. However, I’m not sure why you removed the comment. If you could let me know, that would be great! (If my question is not answered, I will leave this change as is, as the comment is not very important.)


 * Change 8:
 * Before the change:
 * and are now reunited with either Petra or Gabriel.
 * After the change:
 * and are now reunited with either Petra or Gabriel (depends on who Jesse saved back at the Gabriel's castle in Chapter 1).
 * This does add extra information, in that it mentions when the player can save Petra or Gabriel. However, the added bit about the group fleeing to Gabriel’s castle (change 5) doesn’t mention when the player is forced to save only one of Petra or Gabriel. This then leaves the question: When must the player choose between saving either Petra or Gabriel? If this question is not answered, I will revert this sentence to how it was before the change, as the added information, in its current state, makes the article more confusing.


 * Change 9:
 * Before the change:
 * After the change:
 * Magnus and Ellegaard (who clearly don't get along well) depart in two different directions in Soren's fortress in order to find the "F-Bomb". Jesse and Petra/Gabriel head one way, while Lukas, Olivia and Axel head another way.
 * This does add extra information, in that it states where Magnus and Ellegaard are heading in separate directions. However, this makes the article somewhat more confusing, as it seems that the characters don’t find Soren’s house until Episode 3, and it doesn’t explain that he has a fortress which is not his house (which seems somewhat irrelevant anyway). Also, this still leaves the question: When it says that Magnus and Ellegaard head in two different directions, and then two more groups head in two different directions, are the two pairs of directions mentioned the same ones, or different ones?
 * (e.g. if Magnus goes north and Ellegaard goes south, and then one group heads north while another goes south, both pairs of directions would be the same ones. On the other hand, if one group goes east while another goes west, with Magnus and Ellegaard still going north and south, respectively, then the pairs of directions mentioned in the two places would be different pairs of directions.)
 * If this question is not answered, I will revert this sentence to how it was before, as the change added new and possibly irrelevant information.
 * If this question is not answered, I will revert this sentence to how it was before, as the change added new and possibly irrelevant information.


 * Change 10:
 * Before the change:
 * Eventually, they confront Ivor, but he taunts them, saying that the Order will be unable to do anything to stop him , then escapes.
 * After the change:
 * Eventually, they confront Ivor, but he taunts them, saying that the Order will be unable to do anything to stop him, then escapes.
 * This removed an invisible comment that I had added to let any Wikipedia editors know why I had made one of my changes. As the previous comment said “I added the words between here and the next comment”, the comment which was removed had been there to show that it was the end of the part where words had been added. If you can let me know why you removed the comment, that would be great! (If I receive no response, I will put the comment back, changed to “End of piece where I added words” so that it will be less ambiguous and seemingly nonsensical. If this is a problem, please let me know. I will go ahead with this if there is no response.)


 * Change 11:
 * Before the change:
 * The Formidi-Bomb destroys the Wither Storm, freeing the citizens it ate, including a now amnesiac
 * After the change:
 * The Formidi-Bomb destroys the Wither Storm, freeing the citizens it ate, including a now amnesiac Gabriel or Petra(if you met Petra before(back to the Chapter 2),then here you'll meet Gabriel.it's just opposite if you met Gabriel before)
 * This does add extra information, in that it explains which one of Petra or Gabriel is freed by the Wither Storm. However, I thought that, by this point, Jesse had been reunited with both Petra and Gabriel. This makes the article somewhat more confusing. Also, this leaves the question: Is either Gabriel or Petra being freed in an amnesiac state related to Jesse saving one of them earlier, and is this related to one of them being “Wither sick”? If this question is not answered, I will revert the sentence to how it was before the change, as the change added new and confusing information.


 * Change 12:
 * Before the change:
 * However, the Command Block (which was used to turn the Wither into the Wither Storm ) is left intact, and three Wither Storms are created in place of the original one.
 * After the change:
 * However, the Command Block (which was used to turn the Wither into the Wither Storm) is left intact, and three Wither Storms are created in place of the original one.
 * This removed a comment asking for confirmation that the Command Block was indeed the same one used to turn the Wither into the Wither Storm. If you can let me know why you removed the comment, that would be great! (If my question is not answered, I will leave this change as is, as the comment is not very important.)

Please let me know what the answers to my questions are in a follow-up comment.

As an aside: Although it is very good to clarify things which are ambiguous, direct responses should be done with hidden text (see WP:HIDDEN for what hidden text is and how to make it) or on the relevant talk page (for Minecraft: Story Mode, that’s this talk page). If you want to change the text to be more clear, then by all means, go ahead! Just bear in mind that your changes will appear in the article, and that most readers will have no idea what the background is (e.g. the fact that “clarify” tags were in the article, what their “explain” fields were, etc.).

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you again for editing Wikipedia, and for clarifying things which were unclear! I greatly and sincerely appreciate this. Noah Kastin (talk) 23:04, 6 May 2017 (UTC)


 * I have now implemented the changes suggested above, with two extra changes:
 * New change 1:
 * In the bullet point entitled "Change 2 & 3", I realized I needed that some mention of the group being joined by Lukas, which I had forgotten to add (due to it being in the sentence I cut). Because of this, instead of simply removing the sentence, which would have made the piece come out like this:
 * Back at the competition (which the group either wins or loses, depending on whether Jesse let their friends help them search for Reuben), the deal goes bad when Ivor, the man Petra sells the skull to, rips her off and flees. Following Ivor into an underground laboratory, they discover him making a Wither, an incredibly dangerous creature, but are unable to stop him.
 * Instead, to include mention of Lukas joining the group, I modified he piece to look like this:
 * Back at the competition (which the group either wins or loses, depending on whether Jesse let their friends help them search for Reuben), the deal goes bad when Ivor, the man Petra sells the skull to, rips her off and flees. The group, joined by the sympathetic Ocelot leader, Lukas, follows Ivor into an underground laboratory. There, they discover him making a Wither, an incredibly dangerous creature, but are unable to stop him.
 * New change 2:
 * In the bullet point entitled "Change 8", I moved the parentheses surrounding the bit of text surrounded by parentheses inside the "clarify" (span) tag. I also moved the period inside the tag. Thus, instead of looking like this:
 * and are now reunited with either Petra or Gabriel.
 * Instead, it looks like this:
 * and are now reunited with either Petra or Gabriel
 * I hope that these extra changes have not caused any trouble. If they have, please let me know.
 * I also apologize for my many recent contributions to this page, consisting of tweaks to the wiki-markup to make important, hidden things appear, additions of important but missing text, and deletions of unimportant but present text. I hope that these have not caused any trouble either. If they have, please let me know.
 * Please also let me know if you have any questions, suggestions, or problems.
 * Thanks!

The reason Ivor is not included in the characters section as a member of The Order of the Stone is because it's spoiler. Jeff Schaffer (talk) 06:27, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia does not hide WP:spoilers. -- ferret (talk) 12:26, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for resolving the tag!
 * By the way, I did know about WP:spoilers, but I was not sure if that applied here.
 * I am somewhat confused about the fact that, in the Setting section, it says that Jesse sets out to "find The Order of the Stone (Gabriel, Ellegaard, Magnus, Soren, and Ivor)". However, according to the section The Order of the Stone (Episode 1), Ivor is no longer a member of the Order of the Stone, making it unclear if Jesse is searching for him, too (especially since Ivor seems to be fighting Jesse and their friends). This brings up two points:
 * As Ivor is no longer a member of the Order of the Stone, should he be removed from the Characters group of the Order of the Stone, or should he be kept there, because he was a member of the Order of the Stone and/or Jesse is looking for him (if Jesse is, in fact, looking for Ivor)?
 * If Jesse is not looking for Ivor, then Ivor should probably be removed from the Setting section; otherwise, he should probably stay there.
 * Please let me know what you think about these points.
 * Thanks!

 * Jesse and the rest of his gang knows that Ivor was a member and was inexplicably kicked out which was later revealed that Ivor left because he was disgusted by The Order of the Stone's lies that they win against the Ender Dragon. Anyway, Jesse was not looking for Ivor because Magnus and Ellegaard has previously stated that they all should go find Soren not Ivor. Jeff Schaffer {talk) 06:00, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification about Jesse looking or not looking for Ivor!
 * What do you think about where Ivor should be placed in the Characters and Setting sections? (If there is no response, I will move Ivor out of the Order of the Stone subgroups in the Characters and Setting sections.)
 * Thank you again for the clarification!
 * Noah Kastin (talk) 06:32, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, I think he should stay in the Characters section. That's what I think though. Jeff Schaffer (tlak) 06:36, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the input!
 * I agree that Ivor should stay in the Characters section. The change that I meant to be proposing concerning the Characters section was to move Ivor out of the Order of the Stone subgroup in the Characters section, perhaps to the place that he was on the page before this edit. This is the change that I will enact if there is no response.
 * Thanks again for the input!
 * Noah Kastin (talk) 06:53, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

 * HOOOOOLEEEEEEYYYYYY CRAP how the heck are we EVER going to get plots that short? IceKey8297 is awesome.[citation needed] 14:26, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I noticed a few sentences in the new additions that caught my eye: "If appropriate, larger narrative DLC may be split into its own article if it receives significant independent development and reception coverage, such as The Last of Us: Left Behind. Split articles should follow the main plot guideline of 700 words."; "Because the encyclopedia will be read by gamers and non-gamers alike, it is important not to clutter an article with a detailed description of how to play it or an excessive amount of non-encyclopedic trivia."
 * In my honest opinion, adding in-game quotes would clutter up the article with trivia, as non-MCSM gamers will not be able to understand the importance of said quotes. Writing in the active voice may help trim down those plots, too. However, I am faint short of any more ideas that would help. Thissecretperson (talk) 15:22, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Updated Cast List
I'm currently in the process of researching the entire cast list for Seasons One and Two. I personally think the cast for this game will be better displayed in the form such as that of film articles, can I get approval for this? IceKey8297 is awesome.[citation needed] 17:47, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Considering that only a smidge of cast (predominantly in Season 1) is credited, I’d also support adding the Season 2 Cast, too (as I suggested at your talk page earlier). The only problem is, the page is right at the boundary of WP:PAGESIZE, as ferret had said months earlier, so it’s best that the cast list is shortened - so that only the main characters are mentioned. We need more opinions though. Thissecretperson (talk) 10:52, 1 May 2019 (UTC)


 * All of Minecraft: Story Mode's main characters.
 * If you have any improvements to suggest, edit the list below; don't add a completely new one! That'll make this talk page way too long.

Main characters:
 * Jesse (Patton Oswalt or Catherine Taber)
 * Petra (Ashley Johnson)
 * Axel (Brian Posehn)
 * Olivia (Martha Plimpton in Season 1, Natasha Loring in Season 2)
 * Lukas (Scott Porter)
 * Reuben (Dee Bradley Baker)
 * The Order of the Stone:
 * Gabriel (Dave Fennoy)
 * Magnus (Corey Feldman)
 * Ellegaard (Grey Griffin)
 * Soren (John Hodgman)
 * Ivor (Paul Reubens)
 * Aiden (Matthew Mercer)
 * Milo (Jim Meskimen)
 * Isa (Melissa Hutchison)
 * YouTubers:
 * Jordan Maron (himself)
 * Daniel Middleton (himself)
 * Joseph Garrett (himself)
 * Elizabeth Dwyer (herself)
 * Stacy Hinojosa (herself)
 * Fictional "guests" of the White Pumpkin's mansion:
 * "TorqueDawg" (Adam Harrington)
 * Cassie Rose/The White Pumpkin (Ashly Burch)
 * Harper (Yvette Nicole Brown)
 * PAMA (Jason "jtop" Nipolski)
 * Hadrian (Jim Cummings)
 * Mevia (Kari Wahlgren)
 * Otto (Jamie Alcroft)
 * Nell (Julianne Buescher)
 * Emily (Audrey Wasilewski)
 * Radar (Yuri Lowenthal)
 * Stella (Ashley Albert)
 * Jack (Fred Tatasciore)
 * Nurm (Mark Barbolak)
 * The Admins (former and current):
 * Romeo (JB Blanc)
 * Blanc provides the voice for Romeo in all his different forms, such as "Vos," the Prismarine Colossus, and the snowman.
 * Xara (April Stewart)
 * Fred (Fred Tatasciore)
 * Warden (Donovan Patton)
 * Binta (Kimberly Brooks)
 * Obviously, whether some of these are considered as main characters is up for debate. And, of course, it's not going to look like just this big list when we're done with it. I am so very sorry that I have no more names, as I know nothing of Episodes Four and Five yet (rest assured, I will this weekend ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). IceKey8297 is awesome.[citation needed] 14:58, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Work the cast in for important characters in the plot itself (I.e. "Jesse (Whoever and whoever)" the first time Jesse is mentioned). Full cast lists are discouraged in MOS:VG, see WP:VGSCOPE #11. Things like who voiced ocelots and blazes is very trivial and probably shouldn't make the cut. -- ferret (talk) 19:15, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Ditto above. The only other suggestion I can make is to add sources, but we can integrate them in the article later. Thissecretperson (talk) 19:20, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * As I've mentioned above, this is not a "cast list," per se. I did not intend to add a cast list of any resemblance to what I have here. I simply wanted to have every MAIN character available, on this talk page, for easy reference when someone improves the already-existing Characters section (and adds the characters to the plot itself). (By the way, the Blaze Rods and Ocelots are PEOPLE, and are in fact main characters.)
 * BTW, would IMDb be a reliable source for the character section? Bcuz that's where I got 'em. IceKey8297 is awesome.[citation needed] 22:09, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * IMDB itself is not a reliable source, as its user editable. The game credits themselves suffice though. -- ferret (talk) 22:26, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Really? I didn't know! :S
 * How, exactly, do I credit the game's credits? IceKey8297 is awesome.[citation needed] 13:23, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Strictly speaking, it's not generally required. Plot/Credits are presumed to be sourced to the subject, as a primary source. -- ferret (talk) 16:17, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Should the YouTubers be mentioned in the plot by their real names (Joseph Garrett), their channel names (Stampylonghead), or whatever names they're given in the story (Stampy Cat)? IceKey8297 is awesome.[citation needed] 17:33, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Real names, as far cast credit goes. -- ferret (talk) 17:36, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * We should split the cast list in two two or three sections if it ends up getting really long, as per The Angry Birds Movie 2. That way, the article would be a little more trimmed. Thissecretperson (talk) 23:01, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * If I understand what you're saying, I think we've established that the cast list will not look like the one I made above. The plan was to assimilate it to the "characters" section we already have. IceKey8297 is awesome.[citation needed] 13:12, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, the cast list definitely won’t look like the one above; however, if it’s still long after final revision, we may have to divide it into columns. Thissecretperson (talk) 21:14, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
