Minepedia
by Minehendrix
With Minepedia open from the main menu, players can browse an in-game guide that mirrors the Bedrock Edition How to Play menu for Java Edition.
What it does
Minepedia adds a Singleplayer-style button to the main menu, next to the existing buttons, and opens a built-in encyclopedia. The menu can also be reached in-game with the default K key. Entries present the Bedrock Edition guide content, with some entries edited or removed to account for differences between the two editions. Most entries map one-to-one between Bedrock and Java.
Clicking a voice on the left changes which details are shown on the right. The guide is aimed at new players, and the author notes it is handy for them. The author describes the in-game guide as a Bedrock-exclusive feature brought to Java Edition. Minepedia is client-side only, so a player can use it on a vanilla server or a modded one without the server running it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links for source code, an issue tracker and a wiki.
Files target Fabric for game versions 1.20.4 – 26.3, with 13 release versions. The latest Fabric file is 1.7-26.3 for 26.3, published on 2026-09-30. The first release was on 2024-03-31. Updates follow new Bedrock How to Play content and major releases, and the author posts release notes on a blog, currently only in Italian.
