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.
