hey-hey all,

regarding some recently-deleted posts, please be mindful that the staff team is all for showing love and support for others. we want you guys to be there for one another, and recognize the value in having a community you can fall back on for reassurance through highs, but especially through lows.

but, we also need to be mindful of how we communicate our support for others. it's easy to fall into some bad habits that can, maybe counterintuitively, hurt more than they help. that's not to say that the term "suicide" is forbidden. i know it's a touchy subject, and the word itself kind of sticks to the roof of your mouth, but september is suicide awareness month and it's good to be up front, and to use the proper term for this particular type of crisis scenario.

the problem (if you can call it that, but i don't think of it as a "problem" so much as a "misunderstanding") isn't that you guys are trying to help, or that your vocabulary is crass or offensive. please know that. i love that you guys help each other through rough patches.

our team is just worried for the possibility that users may feel pressure to act as crisis councilors, as opposed to as friends or those who would like to show support. this kind of pressure can have a negative effect on other peoples' mental health, especially in those individuals who do not have professional training in crisis counseling.

if you feel a fellow PMC user is in genuine crisis, that is, you believe they're in danger of harming themselves and/or others, please contact our team before you contact anyone else. report the comment/wallpost/forums post, or else make a private ticket and/or send a private message to our team. we regularly connect people with resources for help.

if you have any questions, please reach out to me or create a support ticket. Below are a couple of resources for those experiencing suicidal ideation or who are otherwise in crisis

https://988lifeline.org/ call, text, or chat with crisis counselors 24/7

today's skin remakes are....... plague knight and specter knight from shovel knight!! i liked both of these fairly-well when i made them but was really frustrated by the shape of the plague mask on plague knight (and im still not entirely happy w it but i think it's a step in the right direction!!)

with these remakes i was really trying to bring them closer in-line with the reference material (colors + design) while also making the shading more interesting to look at :]

(new versions on left, old versions on right)!

Absolute work of art! Almost too good :P

Let's get off the struggle bus

We rolled out some server upgrades today, all about speed, better experience and handling even more creative traffic. Looking better on our end, but does the site feel faster to you? Faster, same, weird... let me know. Just getting started.

Riinnnt!? What's that do?



PMC People 1: Bubblez705 by Juillyoom

Expanded view is available on all Player and Mob Skins allowing you to soak in every glorious pixel.

Skin artists can now choose whether to disable downloads on per skin basis. Why? Because some artists want to share their personal skins, some want to share commissions, and some just want credit and more control over how their work gets used elsewhere.

When you upload or edit a skin (or mob skin), you'll find a new "Allow public downloads" toggle. Turn it off and:

• The download button disappears from the page
• The direct download link is blocked, even if someone has it bookmarked
• Your skin still shows up fully in listings, your profile, and search. It's just view-only

This is opt-in and only affects new uploads or skins you edit. Nothing changes for your existing downloadable content unless you flip the switch yourself.

Artists please note that this feature discourages casual downloads but cannot guarentee complete protection of your work. Hoping to see some high quality inspirational skins that would otherwise never see the light of PMC!

Added the ability to download the skin animations in .gif or .mp4 format so you can actually share it properly on X / Reddit and beyond!

Example: x.com/PlanetMinecraft/status/2071328977801609590

Choose your background, animation or pose and hit the button at the precise moment to capture a bullet time 3D rotation shareable snapshot for personal or promotional reasons. Get your skins or your favorite skins into a downloadable or wall postable or social shareable format with little to no effort. Works on player skins and mob skins... Let's spin!

We've escaped our cards!


You can now use the collective 330k+ opened CFT characters directly in posts, content, threads, widgets and replies using the new CFT button in the editor toolbar.

Any CFT you've liked will appear in the dialog for easy access. We're not locking them to ownership, creativity needs freedom. Be free.

It's time to PARTY!c.r.e.a.t.e.

✦ What are we here for? ✦

• To narrate your content or profile pages!
• Tell a story with a character lineup alternating speech bubbles
• React to a creative post with even more creativity than they expected
• Show off your latest rare pull from the CFT shop
  
• Bring us to life and make us famous

In the big scheme of things, it's just another way to be creative on PMC. Have fun!

It doesn't need to be deeper than that.

A new friend appears...

Testing...

HAPPY PRIDE GUYS AND GHOULS AND GENDER NON-CONFORMING VERMICULES!!

i just wanna remind everyone that being nice and supporting other people is way cooler than being mean...... by like a lot. literally nobody benefits from hate. please be kind and respectful to one another! it's a low-low bar and some people manage to limbo right under like it's going out of style! (wags finger)

do your part to keep our community hate-free by reporting phobic content/conduct for what it is -- hate! and when you're done, feel free to celebrate with us by being open-minded and engaging positively with queer culture ✧˚

Every single house in our new project has a unique interior decoration. Our builders put a lot of thought and effort into them, making sure that the interior is meaningful. One way to do it is by adding hints of the house owners profession.

Here is an interior from one of our current medieval city projects.

Can you guess the profession?

1. Updated @ mentions to properly support Groups and Jams.

Examples: Groups and Ips Pick a Palette JamJ1

2. Added # mentions to allow a method for citing content on the platform.

Example: Modern Nether Accent Set

Good evening PMC,

XP from group contributions will now be credited to both the group and the original author. If you've contributed to groups, you may have noticed the boost.

In addition, on the full content gallery view on member profiles, you'll find "Group Contributions" as well as "Collaborations" tabs IF the member has them. Prime example.

Shout out to wumster likes sniffers for not giving up on ticket #25195
