Greetings, PMCers! We hope everyone had a great holiday! Judging by the results on this poll by Caustic1 that asked what your favorite part about Christmas is, spending time with family is by far what the majority of you enjoy most! You sweet people, you. "The Food" came in close second, nom nom, with "Gifts" at a close third. What was your favorite gift you received/gave?

With the holiday season ending, so are a lot of the contests and events. In this edition of The Wall Post Weekly, we highlight the results of concluded events, emphasize those that are ending soon, and summarize this weeks activity.

You also have the ability to sort by specific activities including but not limited to: Diamonds given, members subscribing, submissions favorited, etc.


TOPPER!
Tomorrow is your last day to find Topper! Topper will be easier to find because it's the end of the month. If you haven't noticed, Topper also learned even MORE emotes! Check out this blog post for a list of Topper's Emotes!


OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
In the beginning of December, FC Creations submitted an un-decorated big, beautiful spruce tree for anyone to decorate! Throughout the month, they posted various YouTube videos showing their own progression! Check out their series "Mega Christmas Tree", to see several time lapses as well as the end result of this impressive work of art!



Congratulations to anonpmc2558251 for their successful server launch with 59 players in just 4 days. Their server offers two different types of Minecraft gameplay: Redstone Freebuild and Survival. Together they are setting an excellent example of how to setup and promote a new server on PMC.

That's it for now. Have a safe and fun New Years!

ACTIVITY FEED
Watch and discover new content and members with a feed of activity from PMC Community Members! WHY didn't we have this sooner?! Simply go to the “Community” drop down on the main navigation bar and select “Activity”.


Hazaa! You can pin the Activity feed to your nav bar by hovering over “Activity” and clicking the pin icon. Topper is in shock. You also have the ability to sort by specific activities including but not limited to: Diamonds given, members subscribing, submissions favorited... etc. Kiss hours of free time good bye! You're welcome.

  topper, in shock.


TOPPER!

Speaking of Topper, have you noticed anything about Topper lately? Last week, Cyprezz reached out and asked the community for help with emotes and many of you responded with adorable (some, ambiguous) ideas! We implemented all of the animated suggestions and will continue to add them! Which Topper Emote is your favorite so far?

Side note: If you want to be Topper, check out these Topper Skins! Here's an idea: Flood a server with Toppers!




Side note #2: Topper should be behaving now, pacing back and forth on the header (except profiles). That goober just wanted to be all over the place!

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
PMC Member Elgringau was featured in an article on Minecraft.net. They were interviewed for their piece, The Human Hive. The concept behind their build was to “create a structure that would renew the link between nature and civilization
while shifting its main sources of energy” (hence the solar panels and glasshouses). Read more about their build in their interview and on their submission page (which includes a download!).


Have a great Holiday weekend!

MENTIONS
After a small hiccup, we've implemented mentions! That's right, you can now tag your fellow PMC Members simply by typing the “@” symbol and then the PMC member name! Not quite sure how to spell a member's name? The system autocompletes for you, pulling up suggested usernames based on what you've typed! Woo!



TOPPER EMOTES!
On the previous Wall post Weekly, we asked you what emotes you'd like to see – instead of creating the emotes for you on our end, we're giving you the opportunity to make them yourselves! Details can be found on Cyprezz's forum post!


OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

Minecraft Skin Team Top Notch released their first Skin Pack - Village and Pillage! It's a completely FREE skin pack that consists of 12 Village and Pillage themed skins! Top notch is currently working on their second project – we're looking forward to seeing what they come up with next!

Roman_95 completed their Red Alert 3 Alliance Side Collection. They've been hard at work for 8 months in between their dinosaur and dragon builds. Their collection includes Vehicles, Aircraft, Vessels, and Structures – all intricately detailed and available for download so you can get an up-close look! Congratulations on the completion of your Red Alert Collection!



In their first ever blog post, UFO made a tutorial on how to use the clipboard and clone mode in PMCSkin3D! They use screenshots to help explain these features, and their explanations are easy to follow. If you're overwhelmed, confused, or don't know how to use the clipboard and clone mode, this is very helpful!

PMC Member Crazyarchitektor and Leonex were featured on Minecraft.net for their fantasy castle project. They go into depth on how long it took them (hint: it wasn't overnight!), the materials used, and inspiration behind it! A good read!

That's all for now! Have a great weekend!

If you logged into your account between 12/11 @ 10AM EST and 12/12 @ 10AM EST, please review your notification settings. There was a bug that reset notifications when you logged in. It's been squished!

I made a huge mashup mix with 10 other DJs and samples of over 200 songs, go check it out!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is out! did u know i made skins of almost all of the characters?

Happy weekend and December 2nd! As you can see, the site theme is now WINTER and we hope everyone is enjoying all of the little icicles, snow, and feel of the site! It technically isn't Winter yet (December 21st is the official date!) but we're close enough – with snow, freezing temperatures & all of those fun winter-y things (in some parts of the country). We've been planning and preparing the themes, activities, and other little surprises for December, and we're excited for the weeks to come!


WEBSITE UPDATES

TOPPER
Have you seen this adorable little pixel penguin waddling around? No? Well if you haven't, it's because Topper randomly appears, just like their predecessor Batty. Please be patient. You have an entire month to meet!

ArchiGa goes into detail about the inspiration behind the build, the length of time it took to create it, and gives insight about the build in its' entirety. Congratulations, ArchiGa!

how come there are so many people who cant use skins with alex arms,
they were added four years ago lmao

WEBSITE UPDATES

Updates!! The most noticeable update was the new nav bar, XP bar, and PMC Logo in the header. It may appear that these changes are the only updates on the site... but they're not!

Cyprezz explains:

"There was a pile of improvements all over the site that had nothing to do with the site theme and physical changes. For example, I integrated 'lazy loading' of images which should speed up the site on both mobile and desktop - saving bandwidth for us and you!"

The Logo Before and After




The Header: Logo, Navigation, Notification Tabs & XP Bar
You can read more about the update in replies to questions on his wall, which you can view here.

There were many updates to the Collections system! We also updated the Collections Tutorial, which includes new, detailed explanations, newly added GIFs, updated photos, and more! Let us know if we missed anything by commenting on the tutorial page!

Another major update was with PMCSkin3D! Did anyone notice that you can now edit ANY MOB?! Chicken, Cows, Dolphins, Sheeps, Squid, and SO many more. Only player model textures can be published.....for now. wink. Simply launch PMCSkin3D, select " File > NewSkin ". Click on the drop-down menu (Steve is pre-selected) and choose your mob! Easy peasy!

One final thing. Remember Batty? Chances are, Batty's still hanging around your profile but you now have the ability to "dismiss" Batty, relocating Batty to your Trophy Case! You can summon Batty by going to your Trophy Case, and hitting the blue "Summon" button. Batty will re-appear on your profile!
