Big new update live. If any posts seem broken let me know.

We’re back with 3 official contest this month, as well as MANY other ongoing community events! In this edition of The Wall Post Weekly, we cover events and contests recently launched as well as community events and contests ending soon!

OFFICIAL EVENTS AND CONTESTS
Community Pixel Project
The Community Pixel Project is off to a GREAT start! There are already 50+ pixel dividers, all very unique! Head on over to see your fellow PMC member's creative creations! There is no deadline for this event!

Watercraft Project Contest
Create a mode of transportation - on top or underneath - of water! Yachts, cruise liners, submarines, pirate ships, dolphin rides, sail boats, tubs, canoes, arm floaties and all other forms of watercraft are fair game!
Deadline: February 25th

Fanskins Skin Contest
There’s been a little confusion on what Fanskins actually are - this contest is about creating a skin of a PMC Member based off of a persona, avatar, profile design, username or combination of them. A fanskin is NOT reshading or altering your favorite skin that someone else made.

Reminder: do not give away any personal information. Your age and location are not needed in order for someone to make a fanskin of you.
Deadline: February 18th

Animal Whisperer Blog Contest
Your task is to create an original story from the perspective of an animal in your chosen form of writing. Entries must be between 300 and 2500 words. Visit the contest page for complete rules and details!

WEBSITE UPDATES
Submissions Page Quick Comment
A quick comment action with comment counter is now beside Diamonds & Favorites on all submission pages.

Mirror Download Dialog
Any maps, mods or texture packs with mirror downloads will now display a dialog exposing the full url and letting you know that you're about to leave PMC.

Forums
We revamped the main thread listings on forums with a cleaner, easier to read and brighter style.
Added forum feeds into the side column of all individual submission pages.

Project Support for more Bedrock Formats
Projects now support world upload formats in .schem & .nbt formats on top of the .zip, .schematic, .mcworld formats we already supported. Not only does the site allow the formats, Schemagic aka "PMCView3D" allows you to preview these maps on PMC. If a .zip contains multiple .nbt files, you'll be presented with a selection menu. Soon we will reorganize the main menus to help guide Bedrock users to content they can use without conversion tools.

Upcoming Feature
We are close to releasing a new text/bbcode editor for ALL of our content creation systems including submissions, threads, wall posts, widgets, PMs and more. It will enhance existing features as well as introduce new capabilities plus better Mobile support! When we launch, hopefully, next week, we'll include a list of highlights.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

Skin Team Top Notch JUST Released their second FREE skin pack, Elves! This pack includes all different types of elves including Aquatic Elves, Dark Elves, Forest Elves, High Elves and more! Thank you for another amazing skin pack, Team Top Notch!



IG-FredMcWaffe was featured on Minecraft.net for their project The Republic of Union Islands. In the article, they give insight into Fred’s inspiration and highlight his build process and tools that he uses to create his maps. A good read! Congratulations on your feature!

Well, This is an interesting frame. I wonder what this will be?

Who am I kidding... what else would I build. There is something special about this one though.

OFFICIAL CONTESTS AND EVENTS!

Upcoming Project & Skin Contests
First off, there are just a FEW SHORT HOURS left to get your votes in for the next themes for the project contest & skin contest! So go VOTE! Now! Even if you have no intentions on participating in the event, vote on the theme YOU want to see the community challenged with!

Community Pixel Project!
There will be rounds in this event. This round’s focus is dividers. Your divider can be anything you want! It can be animated by blinking or bouncing or have no animation at all. Our goal is to create a library of pixel art available for the PMC community to use freely in our posts & profile pages! So keep this in mind. Who knows, maybe your pixel art will be featured in a Wall Post Weekly or by your favorite PMC member! Visit the Community Pixel Project Thread for tips, tricks, and a list of pixel art programs to get you started!

NOTABLE WEBSITE UPDATES

The update on Jan 25th, added the ability to easily perform actions on submissions from the listings both on Desktop and Mobile. You now have the ability to diamond, favorite & add to collections right from submission preview pages. If you diamond or favorite, it also increments the view counter, assuming you didn’t already view it. We hope to continue making it easier to provide feedback on submissions.

Prior to the update, 1,500-2,000 diamonds were given per day by the community. After the update, the new “normal” average is between 2400-2900!

As a result of this website update, a spam war broke out which caused a small spike in diamonds and favorites as pictured below:

neat.


On the Jan 31st, we added a "Data Pack" category under "Mods" and moved Texture Packs, Projects & Mods tagged with variations of "datapack" into it. If you have a data pack and want it moved to join the others, please comment below.

* There is a main menu option under : Minecraft > Data Packs.
* Data packs will identify themselves in the listings as "Data Packs" not "Mods".
* Download buttons on Data Packs will say "Download Data Pack".
* Data pack pages are titled "Minecraft / Data Packs" and link to the other data packs.

This is still a temporary solution before fully supporting data packs but it's a big step towards organizing them in one place and supporting the growth of the data pack community.
