Ips Pick a Palette JamJ1 has entered the voting phase! 🗳️
For the next week, PMC members level 5+ can rank entries based on the following criteria: Design/Creativity, Use of Palette, and Effort. More information can be found under each category in the Jam info and on the entry pages themselves. Remember to rank entries consistently! ✨

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!

By virtue of their opponents not submitting a skin in time, the following contestants will go through to week 2 without a poll:

Way000 (Match-up 4)

caidencestudio (Match-up 26)

kickonly (Match-up 28)

The0Dll (Match-up 29)

SSPBL classic 1 week 1 is now live!

Thank you everyone for entering our preliminary jam, we got 61 contestants locked and loaded for a full season of SSPBL Classic 1! The week 1 match-ups can be found on the SSPBL group profile together with the palette for the week. We will generate the full bracket during week 1. Note that we have generated the match-ups through a random sampler. 3 participants will not have match-ups for week 1, but we still require they make a skin to make it to week 2.

I will also notify a few people who used colours that deviated a bit too much from the preliminary palette in their preliminary skin - we figure these are incidental/accidental so no one is dq'ed out of the preliminaries.

As for the palette; for week 1, we want to take you back to one of the original PBL palette tropes that I call the "two-paths" palette. The first season of PBL I ever entered used this palette scheme week 1 and I feel it always makes for great fun.

For week 1 I also want to welcome a new member of the SSPBL team. Two-time winner wqtermxlon is joining the team and has already contributed to palette testing for this week. Please welcome them to the team!

Good luck to everyone!

SSPBL is back! This time in a new experimental season where we return to the roots of PBL: A PBL that was made without gimmicks and without colour grids. A PBL where you mostly got 12 colours and then had to make a skin using just those colours. We call this concept SSPBL classic. Apart from the changes to palettes and lack of gimmicks, everything else you know and love about SSPBL will be the same for the season!

To enter the SSPBL classic season, please make a skin with the preliminary round palette and submit it to our season preliminary jam: SSPBL Classic I - Preliminaries Jam on Planet Minecraft


For the preliminary round, we have prepared a 12 colour autumn inspired palette. Cranio and I have tirelessly worked to test the palette to make sure you can use it in a multitude of ways, and I can happily say that we think you'll find working with these 12 colours a lot of fun:



If you need some inspiration, we have prepared a showcase skin that might give you some ideas as to how the colours could function!


Devilish, yet angelic calamity [SSPBL Classic preliminary palette showcase] by SSPBL

And we will have more to come, such that the preliminary round will be as accessible as possible for everyone! In future rounds, a showcase will not immediately be posted with the palette.

Best of luck to all of you!

🍂🌾 Autumn is in the air! 🌻🍄

Hey! You are officially invited to the Fall Festival, hosted on Planet Minecraft!

Jam! Jam! Design an NPC skin for the Fall Festival event. 😁

We have noticed a few attackers being a bit too generous when scoring their skins and want to mention that

Be honest with your scoring!! Do not let personal bias affect your scoring. If your skin looks like a 2, it is a 2; do not put a 3. If your skin looks like a 1, it is a 1; do not put anything else

Shading is based on the complexity of your texture; is there an understanding of how light interacts with surfaces and forms? How complex is the shading palette used?
Colors are based on hues and values. Is there an understanding of color theory/hue-shifting, and do colors look pleasing to the eyes?

Note: If you submit a mass number of attacks that are all max score, we will notice and will take action

Attached are more detailed guides of shading and coloring, respectively. note that, 2 is the average, not 3, if you consider yourself an average skinner, you are not a 3

Additionally, we have created one more Carrd page detailing how to score attacks better while also providing scoring examples and videos. Keep in mind that the page is still a work in progress and will be finished at a later date. In the meantime, everyone is free to provide suggestions to us in our Discord Server

Overall, happy skinning! But be mindful to stay honest <3
