  Over the past few weeks I've been digging through my archives and fixing broken downloads.
  
  However, I'm afraid I will be removing my non-resource downloads from this point onwards, and not posting new ones.
  
  
  The reason? PMC downloadable worlds are apparently now a target for NFT-based theft.
  
  
  
  This happened most recently to TerraVoxel, who found his most recent Pop-reel project had been pasted into an NFT-world.
  
  For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, an "NFT" is basically a digital artwork of some type that is given a 'unique' ID through a blockchain system (if you dont know what blockchain is, google it).
  
  In this instance, there's an organization that sells bits of Minecraft world to people, with the idea that whoever the owner is at that time gets access to that bit of world to build whatever they want.
  
  
  
  Think something like "Hypixel Housing" except you can buy and sell your Housing plots for cryptocurrency (which in turn can be sold for traditional currency).
  
  
  
  What's been happening is that several people that have bought such plots have decided to download worlds from here and paste them into those bits of world.
  
  Since this can apparently be changed at any time, it is very difficult to tell if the build in question is used to then sell that 'piece of world' at a higher price, with an unofficial condition to change it later (to avoid actually being caught).
  
  
  
  
  So until there is legal precedent or a path known to work, I will not have any map downloads available. I'm sorry for those inconvenienced by this, but my resource posts (custom brushes etc) will still be available.
