30 pages is a good start! Lots of good, strong, and unique content is key to appearing on Google. We generally recommend at least 50 pages to start to become noticed.

It's also important that you have unique content pages linking to other unique content pages. What I mean by unique is, if you want Google to rank you, then your pages need to offer something that other sites, particularly other wikis, don't offer as strongly. And then have those pages on your wiki link to one another.

I took a look at some of your pages using Special:Randompage and a good example of where there could be improvement is Sand. This is already a generically-named page based on a mod for a game that has several wikis already: the Official Minecraft wiki on Gamepedia (which is part of Fandom) and several spinoff Minecraft wikis on the Fandom platform.

Already you're at a disadvantage because of so much Minecraft-related competition within Fandom. If I Google "bloxcraft sand" the first search result is the official Minecraft wiki on Gamepedia. This isn't too surprising because while the many Minecraft wikis on Fandom are mods and offer something slightly different, Google is recognizing them as all based off of the same premise and therefore it's more likely that a spinoff wiki like yours will be penalized by Google's algorithm which de-prioritizes what it considers to be duplicate content.

On the Sand page itself, the content is rather "thin" by Google standards. Here on Yoast is a good, concise explanation of thin content:


 * "Google considers doorway pages, low-quality affiliate pages, or simply pages with very little or no content as thin content pages. But don’t fall into the trap of just producing loads of very similar content: non-original pages, pages with scraped and duplicate content, are considered thin content pages too. On top of that, Google doesn’t like pages that are stuffed with keywords either."

The bold parts are emphasis that I've added. For example, Sand doesn't have a lot of content on it and it's similar to other Minecraft content. For example, the Sand page on your wiki is largely similar to and also shorter than the Sand page on the Minecraft wiki on Fandom. Many of your other pages have this same issue. And if I then click a page like Trees, for example, it leads me to a doorway page. This has no content except to point me to another page. If Google lands on your Glass page, it won't rank it well. And then the only place it can go is to another page that doesn't have a ton of unique content.

I know this probably isn’t the answer you wanted to hear since it’s not an easy fix. But if you want this wiki to rank well on Google, you'll need to continue to work on giving it a unique angle to ensure that the content is offering something that other wikis aren’t. For better or for worse, Google is not on our side (or anyone’s side but their own and that of their users, as a for-profit business) and they’re not going to rank wikis that they think don’t provide anything new or unique to the people using Google.

Given that your main page says the mod isn't very popular right now, unfortunately that means that there's probably not a ton of players out there who would be able to help you with this endeavour. But if there's a Discord server or other community where players do congregate, I’d recommend reaching out to them and asking if anyone would like to participate. Minecraft wikis can be very popular if built well and collaboratively, and that in turns helps boost the popularity of that mod. So it’s in the best interest of the community to build this out in a really unique way!

We have a series of SEO Best Practices blogs with some recommendations you could check out. If you have other questions questions about how to build out your wiki, I would recommend joining our Fandom/Gamepedia Discord server, where there’s a #best-practices channel to ask questions. You could also reach out to FishTank from our Editor Experience team, who works a lot with best practices on the site.

I hope this was helpful!
