Wide PMC Update!

With over 3 million members and 10+ years of content and changing web design practices, Planet Minecraft felt a bit cramped.

• Website is now wider.
  
• Updated Pop Reel Design + Full width on homepage and listings.
• Removed side column from content listings. 3 cards instead of 2 per row. Less distraction from content.
  
• Revised all content page layouts to put focus on content and consolidate information.
• Moved and maximized content gallery images, video and thumbnail layout.
• Moved who did what lists (diamonds, favs) into the more menu.
• Larger Skin Previewer + Default animation set to stand instead of skip / flail about.
• Fixed Trending on Homepage | It was displaying updated...
  
• Added "Upload" option to the top right member menu. Easy access from any page.
  
• Moved Explore Next, Previous, Random content options into the side column on content pages.
  
• Added additional feedback animations on buttons.
  
• and many minor tweaks not worth listing.

As with all design updates, it can take a bit of time to get used to and we'll continue to tweak based on your feedback as well as what we see and feel as we browse the updated community. There's such a wide variety of content and members that it's difficult test all cases. If you see an issue, please open a ticket.

Hope you enjoy the changes either right away or maybe in time.

Happy Wednesday! This is just a mid week reminder that there's still time to create an entry into the Maze Making Contest! ALL Skill levels are encouraged to give it a shot! You can have a completed entry in just under a few hours, since the machine does a lot of the heavy work for you!

Build your walls, corridors, traps, challenges and more! Easy peasy.

2. Draw the maze layout in the provided map chests.

Now.. what are you waiting for?!


Deadline: February 15

Who's familiar with Advent Calendars? They're quite fun if you ask us, and a great way to kick off and celebrate the month of December! Did you know they date back to 19th century in Germany? The first one was made in 1851!

Advent calendars are a special calendar used to count the days until Christmas. Some are 24 days, some are longer, counting down the days until the New Year. The point is, every day of December you get a treat. Modern days you can find Advent Calendars of various themes ranging from different chocolates to different toys.

We're telling you this because now, you can have your very own in Minecraft! Every day of December, you can get yourself some free items using the Advent Calendar data pack Bertiecrafter made here! Higher tiered treats are included around Christmas and New Year's Eve. How cool!



Share your experiences, the items you received and hoped to get on the Discussion thread!

PMC baked us a cake for our 10th Anniversary!

The upper half is lemon cake with lemon swiss meringue buttercream and the bottom half is made of rice crispy layers with chocolate ganache in between. The clay sculptures are to scale! Each block is 1"

Who's ready for and EPIC FIREWORKS show?!

Show starts at approximately 4PM (about 15 minutes from now)! We will wait a few minutes to give everyone a chance to join in. Afterwards, we will gather for a group photo so be sure to stick around!

What fun we're having on the server!!

The information for the Hypixel meet up has been posted! Remember, there will be just 1 group in the first hour; in the following hours there will be 2 groups for optimal participation!

We also launched the Papercraft Photography Competition. It will run for the entire month! We added some accessories to Paper Craft so you can decorate and create really cool scenes. We encourage you to use them!

In addition, we've added a GROUP PHOTO to our schedule, to be held after the fireworks at 4PM EST! We hope everyone is having just as much fun as we are! See you later!

AND WE'RE LIVE! Join us on the Museum Server NOW at play.planetminecraft.com

Chest Quest is also LIVE: https://www.planetminecraft.com/forums/pmc/events/chest-quest-discussion-620328

And remember, the best and quickest way to get a hold of us is DISCORD!

Boop! It's me again. Unfortunately we have to delay the opening of the server for about an hour. New time: approximately 9AM EST. We're still working on a couple of things so please bear with us! Thank you for understanding.

Join us on Discord! We're currently discussing cake!
Also, check out DinowCookie's Coloring Event and the Raffle!

A couple of quick notes:

For the first hour of Hypixel games (12PM-1PM) There will be just ONE group of 25. The following hours will have 2 groups available. There's a small housing unit/hub that -Rae- deactivated built if you want to hang out there. We will be posting more about this shortly!

DinowCookie's Coloring Event is now live! She drew a special 10-year coloring page featuring CAKE, a rocket, Cyprezz, and few other key ingredients for a Minecraft Celebration. Participants will receive a badge!

Good morning friends and happy anniversary PMC fam!

Hey hey, Planet Minecrafter's! Here to remind you that THIS SUNDAY, November 8th, we're having a DAY long CELEBRATION, packed FULL with events!

Solve a puzzle using a new quest system, enter a raffle to win a super cool prize, meet on HYPIXEL to play some minigames together and more! OH, and we're opening a special PMC Museum server that includes a Hall of Fame, Community Content and some other cool things you'll have to see with your own eyes. Check out the schedule of events here!

SPREAD THE WORD! Share this post! Let us know what you're looking forward to the most! We can't WAIT and hope you all are equally excited! WOO!

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: IF AT ANY TIME if you skip ahead/behind in the movie, you will no longer be watching "with" everyone. You will be viewing it by yourself. If you happen to skip ahead/behind, Click the "Watch" button located above the chatbox. This will bring you back to Live-view mode, and you'll be watching with everyone again. Yay!

We needed a custom Discord Invite background, so I put a modded logo on top of the amazing Minecraft art that RobotPants created for us awhile ago.

Figured I'd share it as a Planet Minecraft 1920x1080 desktop wallpaper.

Happy Wednesday, PMCers! We're already ONE WEEK into October!! Are we all feeling spoopy yet?! Updoot this post if you are!


OC-Tober is very similar to Skintober but instead of making a skin every day, you make a skin every 4 days!

Be sure to take a peek at the Community Event Calendar to check out all of the October Events and Contests, including several Skintober prompts! Also be sure to check out our Official Spooktober Community Event! Did you know you can enter up to 5 times?! Details here!

P.S. 24 Days until Halloween! Doot doot!
