Hey Planet Minecraft Community!

We're excited to announce the launch of our brand new Progressive Web App (PWA) and Push Notifications feature!

What’s New?

  1. Progressive Web App (PWA):
    • Installable: You can now install Planet Minecraft directly onto your desktop or mobile device. Enjoy a more seamless, app-like experience right from your home screen or desktop.
    • All New Mobile Menus: We've revamped the design of our mobile slider menus as well as added full member sidebar support.
    • Faster Performance: Experience quicker load times and smoother navigation, making your time on Planet Minecraft more enjoyable than ever.
  2. Push Notifications:
    • Stay Updated: Get near real-time notifications for new messages, replies, and updates on your favorite threads and projects.
    • Customizable Alerts: Choose what you want to be notified about and manage your preferences easily from your notifications settings



How to Get Started:

  • Install the PMC PWA:
    • On Mobile: Open Planet Minecraft in your mobile browser, open the main menu reorder and click the "Install PMC App" button at the very bottom.
    • iOS Mobile:
      1) In Safari, tap the Share icon at the bottom of the Safari browser. This icon looks like a square with an arrow pointing upwards.
      2) In the Share menu, scroll down and select the Add to Home Screen option. If you don't see it immediately, keep scrolling as it may be lower in the list.
    • On Desktop: Click on the “Install” prompt in your browser’s address bar.
  • Enable Push Notifications:
    • Visit your notifications settings and toggle on Push Notifications. Follow the browser prompt to allow notifications for your account.
    • Note: You don't need the PWA installed to enable push notifications. You can enable them in your preferred browser. Exception is iOS does need the PWA... sorry, we can't control this.

We hope this combo of updates help make it easier and more convenient to stay connected with our amazing community, its creative content and your friends here.

Thank you for your continued support, and we're looking forward to hearing your feedback and continuing development! App is v1.0 and push notifs are fresh, let us know what works, doesn't and how we can improve.

If you using Chrome on Windows, if you go to the app you will find 3 dots in the top right. Click this and select the Uninstall option.
Otherwise you can just go to your browser like normal and put in the PMC URL.

Nice, an app. Too bad creepers aren't legally allowed to use phones (But I did legally steal one >:})
Although a refresh of the UI would be nicer, better for touch screens and stuff, and maybe few texture/design updates.

For server owners like myself, this is super exciting news.


I’ve been using Planet Minecraft for various deprecated and current projects since 2013, so for over 10 years, and was wondering if and when the day would come. I’m glad that day is finally here, great job guys. 🙏

I just noticed and thought "um what's wrong did site broke or what" because I'm not really used to changes. I see we're going into UI revamp!
I wonder what's next 🤔
PMC app is also a great news!

Not at all!

For anyone reading this, I found out that if you've already created an unofficial shortcut to their site, you must remove it from your desktop. That means you have to go to its source location and remove it from there. My app was called PMC while the official name is Planet Minecraft Community. This is because Google assumes you already have the app.

I used Windows 10 and Google to install the app.
