Happy Saturday, PMCer's! We hope you're enjoying your week so far. Who else wishes the pink buttons were still around? Did anyone click the floating hearts in the header? They exploded into tiny little hearts! It was raining love <3 It was a relatively quiet week this week, but we were behind the scenes working on the text editor update which is now live!


credit_card General Editor Highlights

• font_download Unified Font : Editor text uses the same font as the website!
• wb_iridescent Spoilers are easier to work with & harder to break. You can use the unfold_morearrows to move spoilers.
• Ω Over 700 special character & icons are now available. Click Ω
  to access them. They are text based which allows you to resize them
  with the font size & color them with the font color picker
• color_lens Advanced Color Pickers on text color & background.
• grid_on Table management & STYLES! Working with tables will be MUCH easier now. Besides being easier to create, edit and delete rows & columns you can now MERGE & RESIZE them! You can also change the table background style... none, site (default) & material are currently available.
• history Auto saves periodically so that you can restore or recover posts. Location independent (wall post, thread, submission, etc)
• zoom_out_map Better Fullscreen : Now fullscreen won't take up the actual fullscreen... why? Because if
  you have a large monitor having text span across a thousand yards is
  going to be unpleasant to read & work with. No more!
  

image Advanced Media Support in Editor

• perm_media Advanced Media : Images, Video & Audio | All media is visible in the editor AND playable!
• image Image Dimensions
  : you can now set the width & height of an image / gif. Can define
  one or both dimensions. Define one and it will maintain the aspect
  ratio.
• videocam Video Support : Youtube, .mp4, .webm, .avi, .gifv!
• audiotrack Audio Support : .mp3, .wav, .ogg
• edit Edit Media : Select media element & click the image icon. Right-click the media if it's video / audio.

There are always bugs & tweaks to be made after an update that needs to support many different locations & purposes on the website plus devices, browsers & operating systems. If you found a bug with the editor or have a feature suggestion, please open a ticket.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
kimandjax was featured in an article on minecraft.net for their project Kiel Cathedral. The build is a tribute to their furry friend, whom they lost not too long ago (our condolences). It's a heart warming story you don't want to miss.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

We have moved to a new website! Be sure to check it out at www.epicquestz.com!

We are in the process of transferring our map downloads from the old website to the new one. Until this is complete, you may find that some of the links are broken. If so, you should go directly to our website.

Feel free to sign up to our forums too - the bigger the community, the better!

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

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!

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.

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.

MOVIE NIGHT!
First, we would like to thank everyone that attended PMC Movie Night last night! It was a blast chatting and watching short Minecraft animations and A Wizard’s Tale together! There certainly was never a dull moment! Special thanks to the producer, Ray_Savage , for not only producing the movie, but attending movie night as well. Your director commentary through the movie was appreciated, and we all learned a little more about the behind-the-scenes work! We can’t wait to see what other movies you produce!

There were a steady 45 members the entire movie! Some members popped in a little late because of school, while others had to leave to do laundry. There were a total of 114 members throughout the evening. It sure was fun and lively the entire time! Participants should see something special in their trophy case!
