Yes, finally! Ever since the minecraft wiki moved away from gamepedia, it's been absolutely terrible. I avoid Fandom at all costs.
Fandom acquired Gamepedia a few years ago.
This was a big thing with the WoWwiki, they were on Fandom with WoWwiki and moved to Gamepedia with WoWpedia to get away from Fandom, and then Gamepedia got bought out so they ended up where they started.
Seems now the only options are Fandom, Fextralife or self-hosted.
Self hosting is probably a good idea for something as ubiquitous as Minecraft. The problem is that Fandom completely dominates the google search results game. It's a real problem when looking up information on games since fandom is almost always the first result and always has pretty crappy information. (I.E. look up any street fighter character for a specific game. Fandom shows up first, but lacks basic move information, strategies or pros\cons. You generallywant SRK wiki or dustloop for anime games in reality, but google is unable to determine the actual quality of a given source it seems.)
