Redirecting Pages
Create page that you want to start with, and EDIT SOURCE and add, then if you go to that page, you will automatically get redirected to the mentioned page.

Special Characters in Tooltips

 * Use forward slashes (/) normally by placing two back slashes (\\) in front of it (only one needed in visual mode)
 * Special Quotations: “ and ” (option+[, option+shift+[ on Mac, ALT 0145/0146 on Windows)

Creating Enchanted Item Renders
Since screenshots/block renders end up with an inconsistent item glint, we take item textures and run them through a photoshop/gimp file to apply the glint. I prefer to use https://mcasset.cloud (some items, especially items that are affected by tints, such as leaves, are not present), or use the Block Renderer mod and render an unenchanted item.

GIMP information for Mac: Upload image file into Gimp using File-->Open. Also open enchanted item/block.xcf file (linked below). Upscale original file using to 160x160 pixels if needed by using Image --> Scale Image (no interpolation). Drag enchanted item/block layer onto image, select layer "Screen" for item, "Addition" for blocks. Export by File --> Export.

Photoshop Versions (.psd):
 * Ench_Item_160px.psd

Gimp Versions (.xcf):
 * Block_300px.psd
 * Ench_Item_160px.xcf
 * Block_300px.xcf

Useful Mods/Tools
Note: ''All mods are made for Minecraft Java 1.8.9 (Forge). Using other versions is not suggested, mainly due to texture changes and mod incompatibilities. If you don't have it, you can download Forge here.''

Block Renderer
It allows quick rendering of items, blocks, and skulls (don't use for enchanted items, see here for more info). Pressing your chosen key when hovering over an item in your inventory will render it to Minecraft-->(Versions-->YourVersion-->)-->renders.

Download: Curseforge (file info here)

Mineshot
Used to take high-quality screenshots. You can find the source code here. Pressing ( +  on macOS) will render a screenshot (and may freeze your game depending on the size). Pressing +  ( +  +  on macOS) allows you to customize your screenshot.

Download: Github

Wikitools v2
Charzard4261 Has made an updated fork of the original Wikitools. This version contains fixes, and new tools. Here are the current features:


 * When Advanced Tooltips are on, item's Skyblock ID are displayed in their lore
 * Copy Entities & Render tools ( to copy, to open GUI, top right buttons are Copy Self, Render Skin, Render Head Sprite, and Render Entity, and various other things)
 * Copy NBT ( to copy, copies full NBT of targeted entity/head or hovered item)
 * Copy Skull ID ( to copy, gives the texture ID that can be used in  or http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/CODE) (copies from hovered item, targeted placed skull/entity [not player] wearing skull)
 * Copy Item Tooltip ( to copy)

All keybinds can be customized in Controls, images will be saved in Minecraft-->(Versions-->YourVersion-->)-->wikitools.

Enchants
Add aliases to Module:Link/enchantmentsLink/Aliases, and information to Module:Link/enchantmentsLink/Data. Then, you can add the enchant to Enchantments/List_of_Enchantments and add it too Enchantments/TOC.

Mobs
Add aliases to Module:Sprite/Mobs/Aliases and Module:Sprite/Mobs/Sprites, then you can redirect the mob sprite file to the mob sprite of your choice, e.g. should be redirected to. (Note: NPC sprites don't need these aliases, you can render them using this jsfiddle by Fewfre)

NPCs
Add name to Module:Sprite/NPCs/Sprites, and aliases to Module:Sprite/NPCs/Aliases if needed. Then an image can be uploaded for the NPC, either through a redirect, or an image. You can make sprites using this jsfiddle by FewFre (see here for a sprite upscaler)
