OFFICIAL CONTESTS AND EVENTS!

Upcoming Project & Skin Contests
First off, there are just a FEW SHORT HOURS left to get your votes in for the next themes for the project contest & skin contest! So go VOTE! Now! Even if you have no intentions on participating in the event, vote on the theme YOU want to see the community challenged with!

Community Pixel Project!
There will be rounds in this event. This round’s focus is dividers. Your divider can be anything you want! It can be animated by blinking or bouncing or have no animation at all. Our goal is to create a library of pixel art available for the PMC community to use freely in our posts & profile pages! So keep this in mind. Who knows, maybe your pixel art will be featured in a Wall Post Weekly or by your favorite PMC member! Visit the Community Pixel Project Thread for tips, tricks, and a list of pixel art programs to get you started!

NOTABLE WEBSITE UPDATES

The update on Jan 25th, added the ability to easily perform actions on submissions from the listings both on Desktop and Mobile. You now have the ability to diamond, favorite & add to collections right from submission preview pages. If you diamond or favorite, it also increments the view counter, assuming you didn’t already view it. We hope to continue making it easier to provide feedback on submissions.

Prior to the update, 1,500-2,000 diamonds were given per day by the community. After the update, the new “normal” average is between 2400-2900!

As a result of this website update, a spam war broke out which caused a small spike in diamonds and favorites as pictured below:

neat.


On the Jan 31st, we added a "Data Pack" category under "Mods" and moved Texture Packs, Projects & Mods tagged with variations of "datapack" into it. If you have a data pack and want it moved to join the others, please comment below.

* There is a main menu option under : Minecraft > Data Packs.
* Data packs will identify themselves in the listings as "Data Packs" not "Mods".
* Download buttons on Data Packs will say "Download Data Pack".
* Data pack pages are titled "Minecraft / Data Packs" and link to the other data packs.

This is still a temporary solution before fully supporting data packs but it's a big step towards organizing them in one place and supporting the growth of the data pack community.

MOVIE NIGHT!
First, we would like to thank everyone that attended PMC Movie Night last night! It was a blast chatting and watching short Minecraft animations and A Wizard’s Tale together! There certainly was never a dull moment! Special thanks to the producer, Ray_Savage , for not only producing the movie, but attending movie night as well. Your director commentary through the movie was appreciated, and we all learned a little more about the behind-the-scenes work! We can’t wait to see what other movies you produce!

There were a steady 45 members the entire movie! Some members popped in a little late because of school, while others had to leave to do laundry. There were a total of 114 members throughout the evening. It sure was fun and lively the entire time! Participants should see something special in their trophy case!

If you missed movie night, don’t worry! We WILL be having another one! You can catch the short Minecraft Animations and A Wizard’s Tale over on PMCTV, Channel 6. We will continue to run the short clips and movie until the next movie night!

Let us know if you change your profile picture to include popcorn, or post a photo of your popcorn/movie treats by tagging us in a wall post! We'd love to see!

MOVIE DETAILS:

As you may have seen, A Wizards Tale won the majority vote, so that's what we will all be watching together! The movie will be broadcasted on PMN - Channel 6 on PMCTV at 5PM EST!






IMPORTANT TO NOTE: 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 chat box. This will bring you back to Live-view mode, and you'll be watching with everyone again :)



If you have ANY ISSUES please comment on this post or TAG PMC. Hope to see you there!!
