Hi all,

In light of a persistent theme seen in wall posts, comment sections, and guest books that has recently flared up, I'd like to remind everyone that Planet Minecraft is a vibrant community, and home to people from all walks of life. That means we should all strive to be inclusive, and to respect each others' identities. We're all here because of a unified interest in Minecraft, gaming, or maybe just to be a part of the community (which is, by and large, wonderful.) In any case, inflammatory behavior hurts our community, and it hurts the people behind the screen, too.

There may be times where you feel like your beliefs and the beliefs/identity of someone else are at odds, and I can't personally change that, but I'm asking everyone to put aside those differences and treat your fellow members like humans, that is, with kindness and without prejudice -- spoken or unspoken.

Everyone has a right to be proud of who they are, regardless of their faith, sexuality, ethnicity, or gender identity, as long as they're not harming others. Please remember this before posting content that directly or indirectly antagonizes anyone for the way they present themselves on PMC, or anywhere else in life.

Thanks,
Drzzter

🌴 The community cast 1.6k ratings and the final results of the Tropical Party Jam are here!

🎉 Congratulations to the winners and thanks for all who participated in the jam. The collection of entries captured the vibe of a tropical beach party that we'd love to see in Minecraft.

We've extended the voting period by 3 days to help make up for the confusion on how to vote. In addition, we've added a "Finalists" count & link on the jam profile bar and updated the "Rate Entries" button to link directly to finalists that you have yet to vote on. This should make it much easier to start voting & pick up where you left off.

🏖️ If you haven't already, rank the finalists in this jam! * Must be level 5+ to cast ratings.

🌺 Having trouble voting??! Are you level 5+ Start here! This is your list of unrated finalists. You can change the sorting to view other personalized lists as well.

We're aware of how confusing it currently is to vote. Next week, we will make it clearer and easier to vote in finalist jams plus extend the voting period of this jam and encourage voting. Sorry for any frustration!

Have fun and soak up the sunshine! 🌞
