Changelog
All the latest features and improvements on PhantomMarket
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
- Deeper comment threading: comment threads (on both posts and palettes) now support up to 4 levels of replies before nesting stops
- 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
- Sort creators by downloads: the creators directory adds downloads as a sort option, alongside followers and builds
- 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
