Disclaimer: I enjoy everyone around the face of PMC, and do not in any way mean to offend, hurt, or tease anyone else on this website of PlanetMinecraft. Thank you, and continue reading.

There are many avid users on this website, and many people take it for it's advantage for downloading new maps, words, texture packs, projects, mods, and skins. Yet another aspect of this fan site are the blogs, which is a very simple but powerful tool. It has been used to talk about updates, change people's perspectives about life and minecraft, show what should be added to PMC, and more additions to the game that made this website possible. Many blogs are articles, some can be let's plays, reviews, interviews, art, and comics. But the most important thing about any blog that is released is the creator. Many people who post on this website have an ambition, and that is to make it onto the homepage, and they put hard work into their projects. When this happens, they gather "xp profit" out of it, which is what helps people level up and unlock new titles, ranks, and if at a certain level their SigCard. Some who have put hours, even days of patience, thought, and hard work get exactly what they would want, their profit. Not only XP profit, but profit in subscribers, views, and diamonds. If you are like me, we fall into the "small pay-off" zone, which is when they took lots of time and don't get what they would expected. For me, it's art. I may not have the best art ability, but I at least hope to see some support from people such as tips and positive comments. Yet still it doesn't happen. To draw it out a little better, I have spend hours into "Escaping with science" "Me and _CandyCane_" and especially IPGCraft Reborn, which an estimated total of 10 straight days (240+ hours) into thinking, drawing, and testing.

Continuing on, you might now be wondering, "Why is this called Tinted Panes and Shattered Spirits?"
The title isn't to be catchy, it has a rather large philosophy behind it. In this photo, anyone could identify it as figures colored with various colors. If you looked through my perspective, there are the larger triangles, commonly seen first. These are users like Disco_, Sethbling, Scuttles, etc. As they are seen first, and the ones who stick out from the rest. The smaller triangular figures are like people such as me, and many others. They are as vibrant as the other shapes (unless comparing to Disco. That guy's a redstone God.) yet still aren't noticed because they're smaller. Both large and small "panes" are putting a lot of work into their projects, yet overall the bigger ones get more profit. All of the shapes are known as the "tinted panes" but the smaller ones that have felt like their work has gone to waste, known as the "Broken Spirits" as what the title says, they've lost encouragement from a lack of profit. Yet that's still no way to feel.
