Planet Minecraft
Focus:
Downloading, showcasing and uploading maps, skins, texture packs and servers,
plus a large forum
Planet Minecraft is by far the most important website to the Minecraft creator community.
Though there are other sites (especially those of individual creators) where you can down-
load maps, skins and texture packs to play with in your own Minecraft game, Planet Mine-
craft is far and away the biggest, best and most popular repository of everything download-
able for Minecraft.
Nearly all the big names are on here, from SethBling to disco to Circleight to carloooo and
more, and pretty much every famous map or game type or construction type can be found
in the databases of Planet Minecraft. Heck, some of the maps we feature in our topics were
found on PM!
Not only can you download projects here, you can interact with the people who do, com-
menting on their maps and giving “Diamonds” to vote on the best projects, and you can even
upload your own works for free! Got something you want to show off? Put it up on Planet
Minecraft, and if it's good, it's almost guaranteed to be seen by thousands of people.
PM is amazing, and with literally thousands of new projects up every month, it's a never-
ending parade of new things to try out. Mini-games, adventure maps, Redstone tutorials,
PVP arenas, and massive, amazing worlds to explore-it's all here!
