This wiki is a publicly accessible and editable website for gathering useful information related to the Minecraft franchise. It is commonly called the "Minecraft Wiki", though it is not affiliated with the developers of Minecraft (Mojang Studios and Microsoft) in any way. The wiki is a database of information of any Minecraft content made up entirely of user contributions using the MediaWiki software, which lets people edit and change the contents of any page. There is a copyrights page for information regarding licensing and intellectual property on the Minecraft Wiki. Use of the Minecraft Wiki is subject to Weird Gloop's Terms of Service.

The Minecraft Wiki is a public and editable website that is managed and maintained by a large group of volunteers from the Minecraft community, including the wiki's administration team.

The wiki was founded by citricsquid on June 17, 2009, as a way to document information from Minecraft. From November 15, 2010, it was hosted by Curse Media; first as a standalone wiki, and later as a part of Gamepedia. As Fandom purchased Curse Media on December 12, 2018, the wiki also transferred ownership to Fandom, first remaining under the Gamepedia umbrella until all Gamepedia wikis eventually became part of the Fandom wiki platform. On September 24, 2023, the wiki forked from Fandom and is since hosted by Weird Gloop. To learn more about the wiki's history, see also Minecraft Wiki:History.

The wiki is powered by the free and open-source MediaWiki software. It is currently running on a slightly modified version of MediaWiki 1.45.
