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!

The official PMC museum has just opened, and is full with interesting things to see! One of them, is the exhibition I created about self-generating cities :-) To find it, go on the official PM server, in the "Member Content" wing, on the entrance of the "Builds & Blogs" room. You'll see two self-replicating dioramas, a photo gallery of surreal limitless worlds and you'll discover many curiosities about these machines. There is also an area dedicated to the Procedural Metropolis Contest! I'll wait for you!
The exhibition (left) and the entrance point in the museum (right)
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!
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!
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.
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!

Hello everyone! We're in Channel 6 of PMCTV settling in for tonight's film! Approximately 45 minutes until show time! Hope to see you there!
TONIGHT's Featured Film is: MY UNDEAD CITY by Ray_Savage | live_tv Run Time - 1 hour 19 minutes
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!
But how did you find out how to build the exact mazes from The Joy of Creation? Did you search up the map layout or did you look at the game and copied it in Minecraft?
Happy Wednesday, PMCers! We're already ONE WEEK into October!! Are we all feeling spoopy yet?! Updoot this post if you are!
Check this out! If you've always wanted to participate in Skintober but have been intimidated or overwhelmed by the task of completing 31 skins, or perhaps you have a busy schedule and just don't have time to create 1 skin a day, Kaos_Kitten came up with the perfect solution!
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!
Happy ALMOST Spooptober, everyone! There are a lot of "tober" prompt lists, and we didn't want anyone to miss the first day themes! So, we've included Day 1 themes with links to each corresponding tober event. Whether you skin, draw, build or write, there's a tober prompt for each! Let's spread the tober cheer!
What is Skintober? Skintober is an event in October that Fawne came up with in 2017 to help improve their skin making. Participants are tasked with creating a Halloween themed skin each day corresponding to a calendar, similar to Inktober! Since then, members from around the site have created their own Skintober prompt lists, and remains a tradition in the skinning community.
There have been several spin off's of Skintober including Storytober and Drawtober. They're also included in this list!
While they are listed alongside standard definition skins, they are easily identifiable and filtered using the "Format" filter. We support 128x128 resolution because it's officially supported by the Bedrock Edition.
Besides the higher resolution, it's easy to identify HD skins by their isometric preview and label "HD Bedrock Minecraft Skin". HD skins can only be downloaded. We are unable to support remote change or papercraft.
Game Version Support HD skins are officially supported by the Minecraft Bedrock Edition and unofficially supported in Minecraft Java Edition with the use of Optifine the MorePlayerModels mod.
Note: If you've already published your HD player skins in a blog, you can republish them without taking down your blog. It's up to you.
Contest hosts - We've been adding results to the Calendar! If your deadline is greyed-out and you'd like the results of your contest included, please let us know in the comment section of the calendar and link to the results. Deadlines greater than 2 weeks will be removed to keep things tidy!
Interested in hosting a contest or event of your own? Below the calendar you'll see several tips! You can also refer to this tutorial for an in-depth guide. Banners aren't mandatory but they are encouraged because it not only attracts attention, but it might also end up on the pop reel, which means more visibility and possibly more participants! We also include new contests with banners in the PMC Weekly. Be sure to check out this How to guide by DinowCookie if you're not sure where to start!
Don't see your contest listed? Please provide the title of your contest with a link, type of contest, and deadline in the comment section of the Community Event Calendar.
Another note: we're always accepting PMC Weekly Feature suggestions! Whether you're proud of your own work or someone else's work caught your eye this week, send us a PM with the link to the project, skin, pack, mod or blog!
Boop! Hey all you cool cats and kittens! Just a reminder, there are 4 days left in the PMC Lucky Block Data Pack Community Event! What's a lucky block, you ask? When you break a lucky block, there's a surprise inside! Woop woop!
What sort of surprise? Well, that's up to you. Once you figure out what sort of fun (or not so fun) surprise you want your lucky block to do when broken, all you have to do is change a few lines of code. It's easier than you think with the help of a framework and tutorial series by Bertiecrafter! Seriously, even if you're a beginner but you have a good idea, we encourage you to give it a go!
The final result will be a PMC Lucky Block Data Pack, stuffed with surprises made by Members!
Another quick reminder: The Interior Decorators Contest is now in its review phase. There are over 100 entries! Help your fellow PMCers get the the final judging phase by giving a diamond to your favorites.
As someone with "real minecraft" and a premium account, buy one. Or badger yourparents for one. This one is actually my brothers, but he literally NEVER plays minecraft, so it mine now.

Join us!! TODAY 16.00EST - 22.00CET on twitch.tv/gheppio and watch as a city generates with over 300 buildings from over 50 builders who participated in the Contemporary Edition Project Contest!
Follow the stream event today at 16.00EST - 22.00CET on twitch.tv/gheppio to be part of the interactive presentation of the Procedural Metropolis, a self-building urban environment with more than 300 buildings from over 50 different builders.
While you're waiting, take a look back at the first announcement trailer for the Infinity project, where everything begun, it was also featured on the PMC Weekly of August 17th 2019. As you can see it was very mysterious!
We've mentioned it before but wanted to reach out through a wall post just in case you missed it.
Has a submission caught your eye this week? An art blog, skin, project, or pack? Perhaps your particularly proud of your own creation. Maybe you have a funny Minecraft joke or comic! PM us! Tell us a little bit about why that specific submission caught your eye or what you like about it. We will consider adding it to the weekly, which is typically published every Saturday over on the PMC News Forum!
I have been working for more than a year on my adventure map The Trial of Air that got finished just this week. I have been experiencing some trouble getting the word out to people who might want to play it. It is an absolute work of love since I'm a stay at home dad that has barely an hour every day to do any minecraft. I was just so inspired by the Legend of Zelda games that I have tried, in some small way, to achieve the same quality of game play in a minecraft map. I think that what makes my map special, is the amount of work that I have put into making the trial look as impressive as I possibly could. With a main atrium that spans maximum world height, the Trial of Air is as big of an adventure map as you will ever see. Link: https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/the-trial-of-air/
Hi PMCer's! We're thrilled with the response we've received from the Procedural Metropolis Project Contest! Gheppio updated the FAQ section of the contest description as well as the official forum thread to include the most common question's we've received. If you have a question, it's likely answered in the updated FAQ so please take a moment to read it :)
We're seeing some great entries so far and are excited to see more! Happy building!
Can I build more than six houses? No, at the moment 6 houses, and one submission, per person is the limit.
Do I have to build interiors too? It’s highly recommended.
Is there a specific style we should build in? The city generation will create paved roads, so anything "Contemporary" will make sense. We wanted to keep the theme as open as possible while ultimately generating cities that will make sense.
Why are there slab borders and building limits in general? Slab borders are needed for house spacing, that’s why you must leave them, and the air above them, as they are. They are on two sides only, this is correct; you can build up to the edge of the other two sides. It’s suggested to fill the surroundings of the buildings with the same slabs because that's the city's pavement, in this way the builds are better integrated into the city layout :-)
What about water, is it allowed? In some rare cases it may cause problems when houses are placed by the structure blocks; anyway, water is allowed. If water presents glitches in the rotated instances, it will probably glitch also in the final city! If possible. Try containing water pools only with solid blocks, and not with stairs or slabs only; they're the ones which glitch the most. If not possible, replace glitching water blocks with ice that it will melt down after your house is placed. If there are still some glitches or problems, they’ll be corrected before their integration in the Infinity Matrix.
Are we allowed to incorporate command blocks and redstone into our builds? It's better to avoid complex circuits, while they should work fine, I'm afraid that if too many people build complex circuits that "do stuff" in their build, than this will make the machine much heavier to run on low spec PCs.
I don't want to risk that some people aren't able to generate their cities with your builds included because of this problem! If you want to do a special lighting system with redstone or a teleporting elevator with command blocks it’s ok, but try to stay contained and absolutely avoid automatic machines! Your devices must be user-activated!
What about the streets? How are they made? I’d like to make a parking lot or a building with road access… The roads are 7 blocks wide, 3 blocks per lane and 1 for the centreline. Roads are made of the grey terracotta already present in the building sites, at the same level, pavements are made of the same stone slabs of the 2-side border, at its same level.
If you’re building something that needs a road access (e.g. like a parking lot) place the road-sized entrance/access aligned with the "entrance here" passage for 1x1, 2x1, 1x3 and 2x3 plots. For 1x2 and 2x2 instead, put it on the middle of the left or right chunk. In this way I can reprogram roads so that they connect correctly to your car entrances when your builds are placed in the city!
Are the items in chests, furnaces, dispensers, etc. saved in the Infinity Matrix too? Yes.
Can I use paintings, banners, custom player heads etc.? As a rule of thumb, if something appears correctly also in the rotated instances, then it can be used. Paintings and item frames sadly can’t be used for now. Banners and custom player heads work flawlessly.
Does the front door have to function, or can it be an open glass door? It doesn't have to necessarily be a door! It's just a constraint that sets where the front of the building is, so that the engine makes your builds facing towards the roads correctly. More like a "the door should be here" indication, intend it as "people will access this area arriving from here". After that you can put the entrance you want, of even something else! For example, in the largest plot, you could even put two small buildings on the left and right side and a small plaza in the centre, that would work too!
Will my builds appear together in the final city? The city will contain as many submissions as possible from participants, so there will be houses/buildings from different people close to each other, a city from the PMC community!
Any generated town will be different and potentially infinite, in some of them your builds will be closer, and in others more distanced, and every building integrated in the Infinity Matrix will have a defined probability to appear during the generation Process. Consider all that is being created here as a single neighbourhood!
Did Gheppio design the procedural Infinity engine by himself? Yes.
Hey everyone! Tonight is MOVIE NIGHT (or day, depending on where you are!) and we're really excited!! We will be chatting and watching some short clips over on Channel 6 before the premier of Cyprezz by Ray_Savage! Let's get a good crowd in there and have some fun! See you there!
