Changelog | PhantomMarket

v1.11.2 - August 2026

New

Render history: every 3D render you generate while signed in now lands in your profile automatically, with no saving step. Each entry shows a preview image, the file you uploaded, and when you created it and last opened it. Your 25 most recent are kept, ordered by the last time you opened them, so the ones you stop coming back to drop off on their own, and you can delete any of them yourself. It also means a large build that takes a while to render will be waiting in your history when it's done, so you no longer have to leave the page open. Your history is private: only you can see it

Improved

Renders made without an account expire sooner: the render tool still works fully signed out, but those renders are now cleaned up after a shorter period of inactivity. Sign in and yours are kept in your history instead

v1.11.1 - August 2026

New

Bedrock holograms (.mcpack): download any build as a Bedrock resource pack that projects the build onto an armor stand. Sneak and press the stand to reveal it layer by layer as you build. Works with modded builds too, because the hologram uses the real in-game geometry (Beta)
Upload .mcpack files: publish a Bedrock hologram pack directly. It is stored as-is (your original file is never rewritten) and every other format is generated from it: .litematic, .schem, .nbt, .mcstructure and Java world

v1.11.0 - August 2026

New

Crafting recipes on every build: a new "Recipes" tab on posts with the recipes for the blocks in the structure. View them as a list or as an interactive map, where each block expands into its ingredients all the way down to raw materials, and clicking any item highlights it in the 3D viewer. Inspecting a block in the viewer now shows its recipe alongside too, paged when the block has more than one
Now in 5 languages: the whole interface is available in French, German and Brazilian Portuguese, on top of Spanish and English. Pick yours from the language switcher in the top bar. You can also write your builds and palettes in any of the five, with one-click AI translation to the rest, and set up your server's application form in each
Withdraw your earnings: creators can claim their revenue and withdraw it from the monetization dashboard. Get paid in gift cards (Amazon and more, no fee, from $10) or via PayPal/bank transfer (from $25); the redemption link is sent to your verified email. Includes a withdrawal history
Translate comments: any comment in a language other than yours shows a "Translate" button that renders it in your language with AI, using Minecraft context so in-game terms stay recognizable. One click to go back to the original
Identify blocks in the 3D viewer: in fullscreen, turn on the inspector and click any block to see its id and its blockstate
Show or hide blocks in the 3D viewer: use the eye button to hide or restore any block type (from the inspector or the materials list) to look inside the structure
Sort search results: new sort options in the explorer (relevance, newest, price, downloads and likes)

Improved

Smoother 3D viewer: optimized rendering, with more accurate ordering of transparent blocks (glass, water, honey...) and no stutter on very large builds
Refreshed design system: another pass over the UI kit (cards, buttons, badges and the device and monetization pages) for a more polished, consistent look
Render tool renders expire: generated 3D renders are cleaned up after a period of inactivity; if you open an expired one, just re-upload the file to generate it again
SEO, performance and security improvements

Fixed

Build counts on server cards were including deleted or unpublished builds; they now match what you see inside
The save button didn't always reflect the saved state correctly
Fixes to checkboxes, banners and various spacing and alignment details across the UI

v1.10.0 - July 2026

New

Minecraft servers: a new "Discover Servers" section to browse servers and communities. Every server gets its own page with banner, icon, description, version, platform (Java/Bedrock), social links, member list and its IP so you can join (on private servers the address is shown to members only)
Link your builds to servers: when you share a build you can link it to one or more servers: as an official build if you're on the server's team, or as a community build on any public server (anyone can add theirs). Each server shows both in separate tabs
List your server: apply to list your server with an icon, banner, description, styles, socials and a message to the PhantomMarket team. You can also list a server you don't own "for the community"; the real owner can claim it later
Claim a server: if a server is listed as "Unclaimed" and you're its owner, open a claim to take control of its page
Access requests: request to join a private server from its page; the team approves or rejects it and you get an alert when your request is accepted
Server projects: a server's team can organise their builds into projects, with a task board, an assigned team and linked builds, to track progress on big builds
Server players: every public server shows the players with builds shared in its community, ranked by number of builds
Filter Explore by server: filter the explorer's builds by community server
Clickable post tags: tap any tag on a post to open the explorer already filtered by that type, category and tag

Improved

New design system: cards, buttons, badges and tags with a more polished, consistent look, an avatar in the navbar, and smoother transitions when navigating and loading images
General performance and security improvements

Fixed

In some cases a post's gallery thumbnails failed to load; they now always show
Palette avatars in PNG format didn't display correctly

v1.9.1 - May 2026

New

Mandatory authorship declaration: when creating a post you now have to state whether you are the original creator of the build or republishing it with the original creator's permission. If it's a repost, you have to provide a link to the original author or post (YouTube, PlanetMinecraft, Reddit, Discord, X, the creator's profile, etc.) and accept an explicit permission attestation
Original author credited on the post: posts flagged as reposts now show the original creator in the header and link to the provided source, making it clear at a glance who built the piece and who uploaded it to PhantomMarket

v1.9.0 - May 2026

New

3- and 12-block palette sizes: on top of the classic 6, you can now create mini palettes (3) for quick combos or extended ones (12) for fuller block sets
More palette share styles: fresh share-card designs for posting your palettes to social media or exporting them as an image, with a more polished look and several variants to pick from
Animated textures in the 3D viewer: blocks with animated textures (water, lava, portals, prismarine, magma…) now animate in the 3D viewer just like in-game

Improved

Lighter images: avatars, covers and galleries are served as WebP when the browser supports it, for faster loads and lower data usage
Banned accounts hidden from public listings: banned creators no longer surface in the directory or in recommendations
General performance and security improvements

v1.8.0 - May 2026

New

Sign in with Google: register or log in with your Google account; first-time sign-ins land on a quick onboarding step to pick your username

Notes on reports: when reporting for stolen content, harassment, misinformation or illegal content you can add optional context (link to the original, screenshots, dates…) to help the moderation team

Improved

Smarter notification center: when you open the bell, the tab with the most unread alerts is auto-selected, and any other tab with pending alerts shows a small red dot so nothing slips through the cracks
General performance and security improvements

v1.7.0 - May 2026

New

Tabs on the post page: Description, Details, Collaborators, Related, Links and Mods all live in a unified tab bar (they used to be split between the sidebar and the page)
Tabs in the create / edit post flow: collaborators, related posts, palette, external links and mods are grouped into a tabbed card on the extras step so the form is shorter
"Build it!" button in the gallery: dedicated button on the post viewer to jump straight into build / X-ray mode
Notification center: control which alerts you receive from Settings (new followers, posts from people you follow, comments, likes and saves); the bell tabs auto-hide when a category is fully disabled
Delete your account: from Settings you can permanently delete your account and all your content, gated by a password confirmation
Mandatory email verification: sign-in now requires a verified email
Saved count visible: posts and palettes show how many people have saved them to collections, alongside likes and downloads

Drag & drop blocks into palettes: drag any block from the block list straight into a palette slot in the editor
Image reordering in the editor: drag any image to pick it as the cover, freely mixing existing photos with new uploads

Improved

Better mod support in the render tool: more compatible mods and more reliable dependency resolution when rendering modded builds
General performance and security improvements

Fixed

If you had more than 5 collections, the "Add to collection" menu on a post wasn't loading them all; every collection is now listed without an artificial cap
Editing a post without touching the mods panel was wiping the configured mods; now they're only updated when you actually change them
Post tabs looked off on mobile when there were many options
Modrinth mod icons weren't showing on legacy posts where the stored title matched the slug

v1.6.1 - May 2026

New

.nbt support: upload, render, convert and download vanilla Java structure block files (.nbt). Works with structures saved by the structure block in-game and with mod exports (Create vehicles, schematics over the 48³ vanilla limit, etc.). Cross-format conversion between .nbt, .litematic, .schem and .mcstructure works both ways.
