insert_chart Coming next week...

P.S. Happy 15th birthday MC!!

PMC! Soooo, I have good news and "bad" news!

Good news, the Creator Analytics update is ready but the bad news is the timing isn't right to launch. I have some IRL things happening that require my undivided attention. All good things though, so no worries there. It's just best to wait until things are settled so that I can return the same attention to the update and you.

Creator Analytics WILL release next month! It took longer than initially expected for a number of unexpected reasons but scope of work also grew in many directions for the best. There's always more to do after the launch but there's more than enough to be useful and fun now and into the foreseeable future and historical past interests. Always nice when things motivate you to go, go, go. Didn't help switching chart libraries last week but know it was the right decision for the short and long run.

You'll see soon and I'm looking forward to having the proper time to respond to bugs and feature requests.

Hi PMC, hope you're having a great weekend!

After a roller coaster ride of locating, merging, migrating and auditing massive amounts of data (nearly a billion records), I'm back on crossing off front-end features until remaining tasks are down to launch preparation. The bulk of the work is done, last 10% requires pushing through and eventually leaving some ideas for post launch.

Just going to drop several work in progress screenshots from various analytics sub-pages and let them do the talking:

I'm working on our Creator Analytics update and while it has grown in scope, it's more interesting and useful than I first imagined.

Here's a sneak peak of just the top half of a random members analytics widgets!

Each widget has a full page view that allows for an in-depth exploration of its data and insights. You will have the flexibility to navigate through various time frames, extending back to the inception of your membership or the publication date of your content, depending on the specific context. Relevant content, notifications and more will be readily available to explain and learn more about your analytics.

Still not sure when it will be ready but every day, it's getting closer :P

Minecraft is often also about enjoying the small things. I can never get enough from seeing those small smoke/dust particles behind my friend feet while she speeds off. Silly, cartoonish, but also fun!

It's Superbowl sunday guys!! We're so excited for this one, even all the way out in Europe where football isn't really a thing. Not to mention that our favorite team (= Panthers)... well, errr, enough offtopicness! :P Superbowl sunday baby!!!

Deep into our creator analytics update!

Find myself working at night instead of gaming because it's more engaging. Already covering profile, content, discussions... Maybe even get into wall post stats. For entertainment, knowledge and motivation.

Overall goal is to make it interesting to everyone that posts anything here. We just have so many systems and unique members that it's hard to cover all at once.

Scope keeps growing with what I want to add. Ready when it's ready.

With some drinks on a fun Sunday evening my gf can actually get a bit emotional over watching this video, a true Minecraft classic in OUR opinion => www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQlsmfirpbA

Today is the day! We prepped, we've trained hard (jumping up and down a squeezer :P) and my friend poured a lot of 'mana' into potion flasks. This is the day where the Ender Dragon has to go ;)

Happy Newyear everyone! Here's hoping we're all going to have an awesome blocky 2024!

Shell's random admin tip: want to give your players/friends some random stuff? Don't rely on /loot because it gives you boring results: just a bunch of items in a row! Instead, use /loot to find a proper loot table for your chest ("blocks" section), then use: /data merge block <pos> {LootTable:"<table>"}.

Now you get a collection of items spread out across the chest, which is much more fun to look at!

Do you know why Minecraft will always be better than Roblox? The Roblox community standards! This is a bit of a troll post, but still based on facts => romantic or flirtatious gestures are still strictly prohibited over there. Better watch out if you're playing with significant others ;)

I'd like to wish every PMC'er a merry Christmas and happy Hollidays. Here's hoping you guys will be having a great time, both in and out of the game! <3

I was kinda annoyed when I discovered that right clicking on a sign would edit it. But I was soon satisfied again when I learned about the 'is_waxed' property... honeycombs FTW! ;)

Time for another random admin tip! Want to give an animal a custom name yet without the hassle of nametags and anvils? Couldn't be easier with 1.20.x => look at the mob, then use: /data merge entity <id> {CustomName:"ILoveThisMobSoMuchThatItHurtsCantUC|4Real!"}. Where "id" can be selected with tab, look for a long sequence of numbers.

For all you fellow admins out there... ever needed to help a player quickly clean out a (vanilla) chest? Forget about breaking, collecting, /clear and then replacing => /data merge block <coords> {Items:[]} while you're looking at the chest.

Well, my latest blog post after a few years of absense is finally live! I already spotted a few dumb typoes (of course...) but you'll have to excuse me for now: I'll sort that out tomorrow (local time). Hope you'll guys enjoy reading about Aya & mine's favorite mods.

It's time to rekindle some love... working on a redux of a blog post 2 years (!) ago, modded Minecraft FTW!!! And I love my pet PMC cat up there, still going strong!
