Editorial Guidelines for MCPEDL.org

These Editorial Guidelines describe the standards, verification methods, and editorial principles that guide all content published on MCPEDL.org. Our goal is to ensure accuracy, transparency, and safety across all articles, APK downloads, changelogs, reviews, and technical materials related to Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

1. Mission and Editorial Principles

Our mission is to provide verified, up-to-date, and expert-level content about Minecraft PE/Bedrock Edition, including official releases, previews, beta editions, addons, mods, maps, textures, and technical documentation.

The editorial policy is built on the following principles:

  • Accuracy: all materials undergo verification before publication.
  • Expertise: articles are written and reviewed by experienced Minecraft creators and testers.
  • Transparency: sources, files, and changelogs are always referenced clearly.
  • User Safety: all downloadable files are checked manually and with automated tools.
  • Neutrality: content is written without sensationalism or misleading claims.

2. Content Types Covered by These Guidelines

The guidelines apply to all materials published on MCPEDL.org, including:

  • Version changelogs (official and beta previews)
  • APK downloads for Minecraft PE
  • Reviews of addons, mods, maps, seeds, textures
  • Editor and development tools
  • Guides, tutorials, and educational materials
  • Technical documentation and news from Mojang Studios

3. File Verification and APK Safety Standards

Before publishing any downloadable file, our team follows a strict multi-layer verification protocol:

  1. Manual installation test — APK is installed on several Android devices with different OS versions.
  2. Virus and malware scan — using multiple antivirus engines and hash validation.
  3. Integrity check — file size, signature, and package ID are compared with official parameters.
  4. Functionality test — launch stability, world creation, marketplace access, Xbox Live login.
  5. Gameplay check — performance, textures, UI behavior, and stability in survival/creative modes.

No file is published unless it passes all stages of verification.

4. Sources and Changelog Verification

All changelogs, patch notes, and technical descriptions are verified using:

  • Official Mojang Studios communication channels
  • Microsoft Feedback Hub reports
  • Minecraft.net and help.minecraft.net
  • Internal testing performed by the MCPEDL team

Information is published only after cross-checking with at least two independent sources.

5. Editorial Process and Quality Control

The editorial workflow includes several steps:

  1. Research: collection of relevant data, tests, and screenshots.
  2. Writing: preparation of structured, readable, LLM-friendly content.
  3. Expert review: technical verification by the author or another team member.
  4. Proofreading: correction of grammar and factual accuracy.
  5. Publication: optimization with metadata, alt-text, schema, and internal linking.
  6. Post-publication updates: content is revisited when Mojang releases hotfixes or new betas.

6. Update Policy

We regularly update content to ensure its accuracy. Updates occur in the following cases:

  • Release of a new beta or preview
  • Hotfix from Mojang Studios
  • Change in functionality of blocks, mobs, or biomes
  • Outdated APK or broken link
  • Improvements to safety or technical verification

7. User Safety and Privacy

MCPEDL.org does not modify official APK files beyond necessary compatibility adjustments. We do not embed ads, trackers, or unwanted components into files. Our primary focus is ensuring a clean and safe download experience.

Files are distributed only through controlled hosting with transparent checksums.

8. Expertise of the Editorial Team

All authors and editors have extensive experience with Minecraft Bedrock Edition, modding, map creation, gameplay analysis, and beta testing. Many members contribute to community projects, develop addons, and maintain active profiles across gaming platforms.

9. Transparency and Contact

We encourage users to report errors, outdated links, or safety concerns. Every report is reviewed manually.
