⭐OTHER HIGHLIGHTS |
FEATURED SKINS
There were a total of 4,742 skin submissions this week! Our first couple of featured skins are berry sweet! Strawberry sweet - WhatToMake uses a player skin for their fruit themed skin. Lucky_Ducks gives the slime mob a makeover, turning it into the the tasty red fruit... wouldn't it be neat if slimes were actually strawberries, and when you killed them, they dropped berries?! Our third skin feature is by FishStacks also includes a pixel art of its skin counterpart, which we think slightly resembles a sloth. The submission states: "A once living person overtaken by the fungi and vines, and now is an unrecognizable being." An adorable being, might we add!

FEATURED TEXTURE PACKS Speaking of sweet, if you're into simple packs that make your Minecraft world just a tad more interesting, Sweet Blueberries by fudgiedev is just the pack for you! The submission states: "Unlike many other packs that just recolor or retexture the berry, this pack completely remodels and retextures the bush itself to not only be more accurate to a real blueberry bush, but to also serve as a pretty, vibrant building block!" Fun Fact: Sweet Blueberries is fudgie's first pack ever, and first PMC Submission! |
This next pack features several of -BlockyBoi-'s packs in one massive pack. This pack is called Minecraft +. If you don't want to completely overhaul your Minecraft, but instead want to overhaul a specific biome, you can find all of BlockHead's Plus Packs in this collection! They currently have plus packs for the End, Caves, the Nether, World, and the Ocean.
You get to vote on their next Minecraft Plus Update! Head on over to the forum thread and check out the choices, and vote on your favorite!

FEATURED ART
All except one of this week's featured art can be found over on the blog section; cheyko's can be found on their wall post from earlier in this week, which also states that they recent got a new computer and the first thing they did was draw the photo you see below. A stunning piece!

FEATURED DATA PACK This week, Hashs released a data pack that makes Minecraft... a bit more difficult. Infernal Survival buffs almost all mobs (excepting mobs that are already too strong for their tier) with increased stats and special abilities. Common night mobs instead spawn in hordes and often carry weapons. Blazes can knock players back and damage them in similar fashion to the Hovering Inferno. Some melee mobs including vindicators and piglin brutes can perform powerful leap attacks. There are unique changes for almost every mob! If you find vanilla survival a bit too easy, you should definitely try this pack out! | |
FEATURE BEDROCK PROJECT This feature comes as a recommendation by another member, and we can see why! This project took the BigBuilds team about 2 months to complete and is getting amazing feedback!Spruce Valley Kingdom by BigBuilds is a bedrock map that features two main game modes (Multi-Player PvP and Hide and Seek) which are fully automated and leave no worry to the players, allowing a seamless and entertaining gameplay experience. The map itself features a massive castle surrounded by an expansive medieval-style village. |
FEATURED PROJECT
Has it been a while since you've been on a tropical vacation? Or perhaps you've never been on one? In either case, you can take a virtual vacation on a private island with your very own luxury villa and huge yacht with this map by FALL Studios! Tropical Modern Mansion is clean and pristine; you'll feel like a million bucks when you enter the place. Situated facing the ocean with an infinity pool, you'll have the best view of the sunset! (some features in the photos/video are not available on java).
No interview this week, but you can read our latest blog post that features an interview with kimandjax. We also have an entire collection with other member interviews you can check out here!

Watermelons are my favourite
SHOWER THOUGHT: eating watermelon is the equivalent to drinking water aas watermelons contain a lot of water
anyways, I am currently preparing on how to get java edition and play it, hopefully goes well when I do it next month
