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!


Render by PixelFrosty

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!

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!



Shout out to BIO, the artist behind Topper and Cyprezz for programming them to life! If you have any EMOTE ideas for Topper, comment below!

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

This week, PMC Member ArchiGa was featured on Minecraft.net! The interview highlights their submission, Cælestes Horti / SkyGardens, which was an entry in the Sky Scraper Project Contest! 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!

Do you remember that golden rule of not using more than 7 bullet points on your powerpoint presentations per slide? Well... our teacher doesn't care about such limitations! And if the letters need to be smaller to fit all of his stuff on one page then you better grab your magnifying glass because THERE IS NO CHILL on these slides.

Send help.

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!

That's all for this edition of the Wall Post Weekly. Have a great weekend, and stay warm (or cool)!

That moment when there's 8 people in chat on the navigation bar so you go there to get some distraction from your miserable self only to realize everyone is AFK

Allow me to quote the man himself here for a sec:

I absolutely support this. He is right. Trust me, he really is. After 4000 hours of building things in minecraft, I assure you that your turrets will look better than mine because I only put in 3999 hours so they look slightly better than a notch tree.


Jokes aside I really like this one. It will go on the next ship :)
Wait... didn't I say I'd quit after this one?... Oh damn it!

People, please...


I get that using different fonts and colors on your profile is really nice and cute but I can't read any of those comfortably... especially those wavy neon pink ones. xD

What in gods name is this XP bar ?!

Things sure change a lot when you meet the right people... Or finally give them a chance.

Every extra special thing we've done on the site this month is because of this Holiday, and it's finally here! Let's recap the eventful month!

SITE THEME

One of the most noticeable special spoops was the site theme! Bats, leaves, pumpkin-orange buttons.. oh my! Along with the appropriate site theme, a lot of members decorated their personal profile in cobwebs, creepy-crawlers, and spooky scary skeletons. We really enjoyed seeing everyone's profile transform! So festive and creative! The orange buttons and leaves aren't going anywhere just yet - they'll stick around through the fall season!


HALLOWEEN COMMUNITY EVENT

The FIRST ever non-competitive Community Event was successful, to say the least! The Halloween Community Event wrapped up yesterday and we are impressed by the quality and number of submissions and support you have given each other! Head on over to check out the Event Summary which includes a few featured submissions! We appreciate all of the hard work and effort you put into the event and needless to say, it won't be the last of its kind. Pat yourselves on the back and give each other high fives! Special thanks to DinowCookie for helping host and coordinate the event!

We'd also like to hear your thoughts on the event as well as see your favorite entries! Share with us on the official Halloween Community Event thread


BATTY!

Let's talk about the friendly phantom creature that's been hanging around randomly – BATTY! Many of you have already found Batty, and if you haven't, don't fret! You still have the rest of today to find Batty, and it should be easier because it's Halloween and it's Batty's favorite Holiday!



Fun Fact: Batty wasn't in our original plans for the month, but when the seed was planted it grew and we're happy Batty was well received! Batty feels very welcomed and thanks to the community for being so friendly!

Batty showed up 22,205 times for members only!
15,428 members saw but never claimed Batty!





OTHER SITE SPOOPS!

In addition, our official Laboratory Experiments Skin Contest received 240 entries & is currently in the judging phase! There were some beautiful and unique creations & equally original stories along with them. The Pumpkin Carving Contest JUST entered the review phase which means there's still time to look over the entries and diamond your favorites to ultimately determine the finalists!

Alongside our official community events & contests were 6 unofficial Halloween themed events & challenges hosted by your fellow PMC friends.

November will be a little quieter than October, but be prepared when December rolls around....!

PS If you read all of this, THANK YOU! Have a Happy Halloween and stay spoopy!

If you haven't noticed any progress for like 2 months worth of renders then let me tell you this:





I know.

Holy SPOOP! How is it Friday already?! Not complaining, because we're THAT much closer to Halloween!! Who's going to a Halloween Party this weekend? What are you going to be? Something scary? Cute? Funny? Comment below, we're curious!

It's the LAST weekend to work on your pumpkin for the Pumpkin Carving Contest & submission for the Halloween Community Event!

The Laboratory Experiments Skin Contest has come to an end, which means its time to vote on the next theme! There are 2 new themes - Norse Mythology and Fashion Show.

We also want to take this wall post opportunity to introduce our cute furry friend, Hallo-kitty!




He can be your furry friend, too! Everyone who participates in the Halloween Community Event will find Hallo-kitty in their awards & trophy case! Pixel art hand-crafted by Cyprezz.

Don't forget to visit the Community Event Calendar for unofficial & official community events & their deadlines! Hint: a lot of the October events are ending soon!
