WEBSITE UPDATES

Updates!! The most noticeable update was the new nav bar, XP bar, and PMC Logo in the header. It may appear that these changes are the only updates on the site... but they're not!

Cyprezz explains:

"There was a pile of improvements all over the site that had nothing to do with the site theme and physical changes. For example, I integrated 'lazy loading' of images which should speed up the site on both mobile and desktop - saving bandwidth for us and you!"

The Logo Before and After




The Header: Logo, Navigation, Notification Tabs & XP Bar
You can read more about the update in replies to questions on his wall, which you can view here.

There were many updates to the Collections system! We also updated the Collections Tutorial, which includes new, detailed explanations, newly added GIFs, updated photos, and more! Let us know if we missed anything by commenting on the tutorial page!

Another major update was with PMCSkin3D! Did anyone notice that you can now edit ANY MOB?! Chicken, Cows, Dolphins, Sheeps, Squid, and SO many more. Only player model textures can be published.....for now. wink. Simply launch PMCSkin3D, select " File > NewSkin ". Click on the drop-down menu (Steve is pre-selected) and choose your mob! Easy peasy!

One final thing. Remember Batty? Chances are, Batty's still hanging around your profile but you now have the ability to "dismiss" Batty, relocating Batty to your Trophy Case! You can summon Batty by going to your Trophy Case, and hitting the blue "Summon" button. Batty will re-appear on your profile!

BOO

Every extra special thing we've done on the site this month is because of this Holiday, and it's finally here! Let's recap the eventful month!

SITE THEME

One of the most noticeable special spoops was the site theme! Bats, leaves, pumpkin-orange buttons.. oh my! Along with the appropriate site theme, a lot of members decorated their personal profile in cobwebs, creepy-crawlers, and spooky scary skeletons. We really enjoyed seeing everyone's profile transform! So festive and creative! The orange buttons and leaves aren't going anywhere just yet - they'll stick around through the fall season!


HALLOWEEN COMMUNITY EVENT

The FIRST ever non-competitive Community Event was successful, to say the least! The Halloween Community Event wrapped up yesterday and we are impressed by the quality and number of submissions and support you have given each other! Head on over to check out the Event Summary which includes a few featured submissions! We appreciate all of the hard work and effort you put into the event and needless to say, it won't be the last of its kind. Pat yourselves on the back and give each other high fives! Special thanks to DinowCookie for helping host and coordinate the event!

We'd also like to hear your thoughts on the event as well as see your favorite entries! Share with us on the official Halloween Community Event thread


BATTY!

Let's talk about the friendly phantom creature that's been hanging around randomly – BATTY! Many of you have already found Batty, and if you haven't, don't fret! You still have the rest of today to find Batty, and it should be easier because it's Halloween and it's Batty's favorite Holiday!



Fun Fact: Batty wasn't in our original plans for the month, but when the seed was planted it grew and we're happy Batty was well received! Batty feels very welcomed and thanks to the community for being so friendly!

Batty showed up 22,205 times for members only!
15,428 members saw but never claimed Batty!





OTHER SITE SPOOPS!

In addition, our official Laboratory Experiments Skin Contest received 240 entries & is currently in the judging phase! There were some beautiful and unique creations & equally original stories along with them. The Pumpkin Carving Contest JUST entered the review phase which means there's still time to look over the entries and diamond your favorites to ultimately determine the finalists!

Alongside our official community events & contests were 6 unofficial Halloween themed events & challenges hosted by your fellow PMC friends.

November will be a little quieter than October, but be prepared when December rolls around....!

PS If you read all of this, THANK YOU! Have a Happy Halloween and stay spoopy!

Hello PMCer's! Who's excited for the weekend?!! *jumps in a pile of autumn leaves to make a leaf angel*
Here's a summary of the fun and exciting things happening on PMC. Which ones have you joined? Which ones are you thinking of joining? By the way, have you seen Batty?! That little creature....sure has a mind of its' own!

We have 2 official contests running this month! The project contest theme is Pumpkin Carving! Whether it's scary, funny, spooky, based on real-world carvings or only possible in Minecraft, the size & carving is up to you! This month's skin contest is Laboratory Experiments. What do you get when you mix blood from an albino rat and a drop of Chanel No.5? We don't know either. The point is...use your imagination! Come up with a crazy backstory of an experiment gone wrong, or...right!

Our official community event is off to an amazing start (*applauds*) with over 300 entries! Remember, this is non-competitive, multi-category event! Purely for fun! PLEASE READ the event rules. We will disqualify if your entry doesn't follow the rules or fit the theme! Every participant will receive a special award for their participation! Woo!
