poll Poll : What's your go-to first night strategy?
Saw a video some big minecrafter upload the other day about mc skin 'fashion' going downhill in the recent years/a decade and if I had the energy or video editing skills I would want to absolutely compile SO many high quality, fashionable skins I've seen in recent years because it's absolutely such a false take!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the community needs to be shown off more for its SWAG!!!!!!!!!!! SWAG IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!
It's because actual creative fashion skins are no longer given attention, or at least a fraction of what they used to, or at least just aren't used and therefore seen by less people than they should. Most people who use skins are looking for minimalistic, monochromatic designs; I started noticing this trend half a decade ago and made a sort of parody skin out of it but it's actually my second best skin... As such, current artists are often going with the flow and trying to create the same designs over and over to try and get some recognition. It's actually really sad. Creativity is no longer rewarded with people actually using the skins :T you can have all the diamonds and hearts, but you'll never actually see them in-game.
I think it's mainly cause the newer generation doesnt like overly complicated skins and just go with whats popular, hence the drop and obscurity in quality these past years. Looking up the most trending skins on NameMC shows clearly a trend (eg skins with monochrome color palette and slim. This is also coming from a guy whos fairly new on making skins so..)
It doesn’t help that bedrock has essentially an offical part picker! On the quality/plagiarism front.
but otherwise I think the huge disconnect has gotten a lot narrower in more recent years (despite our communities I think being different to what it used to be/shrinking in *some* aspects) younger/newer generations of players are a lot more in tuned with things that look good and with the development of marketplace platforming and rewarding well developed content I think it’s become a lot more commonplace than it has been in the past, I’ve seen content creators now do commissions for multiple skins off skin artists, modellers etc. I remember back in the day skindex too did not have the content it does now on it and I think that progress is incredible.
Honestly I feel like there is a huge disconnect between the people who make skins as a form of art in terms of the highly detailed content versus the people who use skins. In my experience most people I see in game wear what you or I would consider the lower effort or lower skill skins and even a lot of youtubers wear these sort of skins. Not to mention part picking programs are still common place, even if they are different ones from 10 years ago. I feel as if they have always lended themselves better to lower skill content as it becomes more difficult the more complicated a skin gets to use parts of it on another skin and have it look like it all matches.
cough maybe if we didnt bully 'teen skinners' and discredit them enmass for so many years there would be more light shon on a core and talented part of us

🍂 Our Fall Festival is almost here!
Join the community in celebrating the season with contests, games, and fun activities hosted by fellow members. Whether you’re building, crafting, or just enjoying the vibes, there’s something for everyone.
PMC, do you cook?! Get ready to share your tasty dishes, the Recipe Jam is here! Whether it’s your favorite treat, brewing a delicious stew, mixing a refreshing drink or inventing a totally new recipe, this is your chance to mix, mash, and serve up something unforgettable. Let your imagination simmer and let's see what you've got for us to try.
PLEASE change the logo to a pixel consistent one🙏 i know youve had that one for a long time but PLEASE 😭 it would look way better and wouldnt be all that different (no offense)
Well, a jam is a PMC feature that allows people to submit skins, texture packs, maps, etc. often going off of a theme. This one in particular is autumn/fall themed. It will likely be held during… well… Fall!
Help bring our upcoming October in-game event to life by creating a festive NPC skin! Think scarecrow farmers, pie vendors, wandering storytellers, anyone you'd meet at a cozy Fall celebration. Give them a name, a location in the festival, and maybe even a few fun lines of dialog. Your creation could become part of the festival world!
