Search

Search the whole site at once — the Codex’s own reference pages down to the heading, and every mirrored Minecraft Wiki article by title, summary and category.

Search terms

JavaScript required for search

Search runs entirely in your browser, so it needs JavaScript. Without it, use the sidebar, the home page section cards, or the encyclopedia index, which lists every mirrored article by category.

How the ranking works

Every term you type must appear somewhere in an entry, so adding words narrows the result set rather than widening it. Where a term appears decides how much it counts:

Title match outweighs everything else, and a match at the start of a word (ore in Ore) outweighs one buried inside another word (ore in before).
Section — the page or category an entry belongs to.
Summary and categories — the opening prose of a mirrored article and its content categories. This is what lets a question phrased in your own words find an article whose title uses different ones.

An exact title match is pinned to the top, a title that begins with your query comes next, and the Codex’s own pages outrank mirrored articles when scores are otherwise level. Shorter titles win ties, on the grounds that they are the more specific answer.

Tips

Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K) jumps to the header search from any page; Esc closes it.
In the header box, ↓/↑ walk the suggestions and Enter opens the highlighted one. Enter with nothing highlighted brings you to this page for the full result set.
This page takes a query string, so search.html?q=loot+table is linkable and bookmarkable.
The encyclopedia index is several megabytes and loads on your first keystroke, not on page load. Results from mirrored articles appear a moment after Codex results on a cold cache, and instantly thereafter.

What is indexed

Codex pages are indexed at heading level, so a search can land you on the exact section rather than the top of a long page. Mirrored Minecraft Wiki articles are indexed by title, content categories and a summary drawn from the article’s opening prose — not their full text, which would make the index far too large to send to a browser. For full-text search across the whole wiki, use the search on minecraft.wiki itself.
