On Top of the Leaderboard!
Now you can win at maps!
I’ve got a pretty fun update for y’all today that brings a couple of entirely new features to MCCreations as well as fixing so so many of those pesky little bugs. Let’s just jump right into it!
Leaderboards
Our headline topic for this update, maps now support leaderboards! The whole system is extremely easy to add to your project and also very easy to extend should you choose to do so. You can learn mode about leaderboard here, but let’s go over some of their cooler points now.
All maps now have leaderboard pages
Leaderboard pages can also be created for maps not even on MCCreations, allowing you to take advantage of them even without using the site
Here’s a leaderboard with scores so you know what it looks like
Translations
I’m continuing to work on make MCCreations the best place to share your minecraft creations throughout the world. To that end, several updates have been made to the way translations can be added and edited
Translations can now be created and edited at https://mccreations.net/translate
MCCreations admins are directly pinged for new translations, which should improve update times
Tweaked the design and layout of the Translations tab in the edit form to hopefully make it more obvious which fields belong to which language
MCCreations is now translated into Simplified Chinese and Russian. Thank you Nageih/Cat and Artem!
Versions
Oh the version manager, the bane of my existence. I’ve made several improvements and tweaks to the way the version manager works, hopefully the thing is a little less confusing and a whole lot smoother now
Clicking on a version to edit it now opens a page just for that version
The old “Resourcepack URL” and “Datapack URL” system has been replaced with an extra files system.
Extra files can be of any content type
Extra files can be marked as required, which will cause them to be downloaded alongside the main creation file.
The version manager now technically supports bedrock. Bedrock files are generally automatically detected, but there is now also a toggle if you are uploading a Bedrock creation. Support for Bedrock still needs a lot of work in other places on the site, but this is an important step towards bringing every Minecraft creator together.
All creations now also feature a files tab, where you can get a closer look at all the files in a creation.
