Greetings!
Last year was an exciting year for MinecraftForum. With the forum’s hosting plan and then changing the ownership to keep the forum active, there was a lot of backend work to keep this site running. Although we certainly struggled to keep up with some areas (bad news …), we certainly didn’t wriggle our thumbs behind the scenes.
With that in mind, we thought that maybe this is a good time to show you some of the plans we hope to implement in 2020. Some of them will be potential changes. over, some are small, but some are giant. Let’s go over what we have in our minds for this year.
1) Restructure our forum sections in general
This is a huge goal of ours. We know that the current structure is …. not exactly great for a variety of reasons. When we implemented the current structure, we tried to keep the naming similar to Mojang calling their game versions, but we knew when we did that would be confusing. We are reassessing this and are looking at better ways to collapse or expand sections to make the most of what we have from you, the community, and to share your content with millions. user. We will have the following posts in our Forum Information and Discussion section once we have a better plan of how we want to restructure things. We know this won’t be an easy change, but we will evaluate your input into this process as we do it, to point out things we might not have noticed or thought about. Stay tuned for more information on this.
2) List of new servers
As we continued to refactor the forum, we had a topic trying to gather ideas for a new server list. If you don’t know, Minecraft Forums used to run a server list, trying to help promote the server in another way. Sadly, this list was not well maintained, and so it was discontinued. We are looking at the idea of bringing a list back, knowing that it should cater for small servers, large servers, whitelisting servers, gray list servers, kingdoms, even just machines. “I want to have a friend” host. And not just for the Java Version, we know there’s more to the multiplayer world. We don’t know this will happen in 2020 due to the amount of effort we need, but that’s the goal we have.
3) Login instead
We know that only Twitch login is a big change for some people. We are considering additional vendors to support in the future. We hope to offer Xbox Live and Google as replacement, perhaps so will some other vendors, but there is no ETA in this regard. We are still researching and working to determine how difficult it is to support multiple vendors like this in our current system.
4) Better filter for searching content
The server search function is a feature we know is … not great. Not only that, the prefix system we have is unclear to users that you can actually use it to find content. We are looking at better ways to make this clearer and to make it a more realistic search feature. It would be a lot better to find those 1.15 imaginary packages if we had a simple filter, right?
5) More news
News is one of the most important things that makes it the front page here. And while we tried our best to keep up with the essential updates, we knew we were really late to update you all on everything that’s happening in the Minecraft world. . We are looking for ways to bring better news in front of you that you will be interested in, and not just repeat what Mojang has to offer you. After all, there is more to the community than the latest build update.
6) Fix more errors
2019 is full of back-end fixes you may not have seen yet. Although, being able to see your old PMs is definitely a fix that I know some of you have noticed. We know there are still many issues with the site and will continue to work hard to improve your experience so you can find and share your content.
It is about it including it for this update! We will continue to try to make this forum further in the future with Magic Find, the admin team & developers who have directly worked with us to make the site work better than before. Tell us anything else you would like to see, and who knows, maybe your ideas can be implemented.
