Contributing¶
Work in Progress
Will be reworked in the coming days.
This wiki runs on community contributions. The more people who contribute, the better it gets for everyone.
What is this wiki?¶
This wiki aims to document Minecraft mods, their ecosystems, compatibility, configuration, and community knowledge in a single searchable place.
It is not intended to replace official documentation. Whenever possible, pages link back to official sources maintained by mod authors.
Community-maintained pages are welcome. Official contributions from mod developers are even better.
Ways to contribute¶
- Fix something wrong — spotted an error? Edit the page directly
- Fill in a stub — pages marked with the "Help wanted" note need content
- Add a new mod — use the mod page template to document a mod
- Improve clarity — better wording, clearer steps, more examples
How to edit a page (no Git needed)¶
Every page on this wiki has an Edit this page button in the top-right corner (pencil icon). Clicking it opens the file directly in GitHub's browser editor. You'll need a free GitHub account.
- Click Edit this page on any wiki page
- Make your changes in the editor
- Scroll down and click Propose changes
- Click Create pull request → Create pull request again
- Done — a maintainer will review and merge it
That's it. No Git, no terminal, no setup required.
How to contribute via Git (for bigger changes)¶
If you're adding multiple pages or want to preview locally:
# 1. Fork the repo on GitHub, then clone your fork
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/starcage-wiki.git
cd starcage-wiki
# 2. Install dependencies
pip install mkdocs-material
# 3. Preview locally — live reloads as you save
mkdocs serve
# 4. Make your changes in docs/
# 5. Push and open a pull request
git add .
git commit -m "docs: add config page for ExampleMod"
git push
For mod developers¶
If you made a mod and want a wiki section here:
- Open an issue with your mod name and a short description
- We'll help you get set up and answer any questions
- You can get direct write access to your mod's pages if you want to maintain them yourself — just ask in the issue
Officially maintained sections will be respected. Community edits may still be made to improve accuracy, formatting, or fix mistakes.
Good contributions¶

- Configuration documentation

Looking for somewhere to start?
Browse pages marked with the "Help Wanted" label. These pages are incomplete and actively need contributors.
What not to contribute¶
- Copied documentation from official wikis
- Copied CurseForge descriptions
- Copyrighted assets without permission
- AI-generated content that has not been reviewed
- Speculation presented as fact
Before creating a new page
Please search the wiki first. The mod or topic may already exist and simply need improvement.
