FAQ

  • Why is the blog theme (design) like that? Because it works – front end (for You) and back end (for Me). Modern, minimalist themes are generic, overused and don’t have the same character. This simple, blocky design works with Minecraft and has all the necessary, easy to manage settings.
  • What is the pageviews counter on the homepage? It’s a piece of code that registers when someone visits the homepage. It’s anonymous and has been running for like 3 years. You can click it to view more – the most recent new country was Liechtenstein! The counter data is generally inaccurate.
  • I have a question, critique or suggestion? Comment below or go to my socials from the top menu to contact me, collaborate etc. Discord is probably the easiest, we have a small community chat.
