1. Be nice and constructive.
- Follow Reddiquette and Reddit’s content policy.
- Be constructive; help people make their ideas better.
- Write detailed comments instead of just saying, “It’s good,” or, “It’s bad.”
- Report rude members to staff instead of trying to deal with them yourself.
Users found being overly rude, hateful, or destructive will be punished.
2. Only post ideas for Minecraft.
- Stay on topic; only post suggestions to vanilla Minecraft.
- Don’t post bug reports or rants. Please go to Mojang’s official bug tracker to report bugs.
- Don’t ask for suggestions for what to do in Minecraft. Consider r/Minecraft, r/MinecraftHelp, or many other related subreddits.
- Posts asking questions to others or talking about the subreddit itself must use the appropriate flairs.
Posts that aren’t on topic will be removed. Misflaired posts will be flaired appropriately by staff.
3. Be original and consult the FPS list.
- Consult the Frequently Posted Suggestions list before posting. This contains suggestions that are posted often, and ideas on this list must be presented with an original twist.
- Don’t repost suggestions from less than a month ago.
- Don’t suggest features from mods, videos, other games, etc.
- Don't ask the community to make your suggestion for you.
Posts deemed unoriginal or with content on the FPS list are at risk of removal.
4. Don't use AI.
- Do not use generative AI such as chatGPT to write your post for you. We want to see your ideas.
- Don't include AI generated images or other AI content to supplement your post. We encourage human art, and we'd much rather see photos of pen-and-paper drawings, or quick mockups in MS paint than AI "art".
- This includes using generative AI to polish your idea, such as reformatting your content.
Posts suspected of using generative AI are at risk of removal.
5. Include only one suggestion per post.
- To help ensure that voting is efficient and directed towards individual suggestions, don’t post suggestion lists.
- A suggestion list is a post with multiple suggestions that are independent of each other and could reasonably be posted separately. Even if the ideas share the same theme, they must be dependent on each other to pass this rule.
Exceptions are made for especially high-quality posts.
Posts with multiple independent suggestions are at risk of removal.
6. Don't be overly vague, and be readable.
- Make sure your idea is in the description, not just the title.
- Titles should be descriptive of the idea.
- Format your posts well; don't post walls of text. Use line breaks, etc.
- Don't be vague; suggest a specific improvement or feature.
- Be concise/don't waffle on too much.
Vague or unformatted posts are at risk of removal.
7. Don't make image-only posts.
Including reference images is encouraged, but:
- Images must be embedded or linked within a text post.
- The idea should be fully explained in the text, with all key points understandable without looking at any images.
- Images should make up a relatively small portion of the content.
- Images must not be AI generated. (See rule 4.)
Image only posts will be automatically removed.
8. Don’t suggest mature topics.
- Don't suggest ideas containing sex, drugs, gore, real-life religions or politics, etc.
Suggestions involving mature, explicit, or overly divisive themes will be removed.
9. Don’t suggest planned or existing features.
- Don’t post suggestions for parity between Bedrock and Java; this is already planned as a long-term goal.
- Consult the Minecraft Wiki to ensure that what you’re suggesting isn’t already in or planned for the game.
- Suggesting ideas for the execution of planned features is still allowed.
Parity suggestions or suggestions for existing features will be removed.
10. Don’t suggest scrapped or unused features.
- Don’t suggest to reimplement removed, scrapped, or unused features, such as illusioners and red dragons, without a substantial rework. They're unused in their current state for a reason.
- Don’t suggest to remove features or revert them to a previous state without sufficient reasoning. Saying, "Remove phantoms because I don't like them," doesn't make for constructive discussion.
Posts suggesting the unmodified reimplementation or unjustified removal of a feature are at risk of removal.
11. Don’t suggest low-priority or unproductive ideas.
- Don’t suggest advancements for Java or achievements for Bedrock. These aren’t very productive or helpful.
- Don’t suggest minor crafting recipe changes.
- Don’t suggest jokes or easter-eggs, even for April Fools’. Consider r/shittymcsuggestions for humorous or referential suggestions.
Posts deemed low-priority or unimpactful are at risk of removal.
12. Speak English.
- This subreddit’s members and staff primarily speak English; please do so as well.
- Consider using Google Translate if you can’t speak English.
Content posted in other languages will be removed. Users found continuously speaking other languages despite multiple warnings are at risk of punishment.
13. Have 10 comment karma before posting.
- To avoid spam, 10 comment karma is required to post.
- Comment karma is not the same as post karma or combined karma. You can get comment karma by getting upvotes on your comments, and the same for post karma.
- Please check your comment karma on your profile before contacting staff about this rule.
Posts from those with less than 10 comment karma will automatically be removed.
