Welcome to MCTrades, the modern Minecraft marketplace. Why not stay a while to chat, trade, and earn by registering?
We've introduced many changes to provide a more pleasurable experience to all community members, increase security, and more.

Staff and Partnership Changes

  • Projecki has resigned from his role on November 5th as a dispute moderator to fulfill other interests such as sports.
  • trip has joined our staff team as a chat moderator on November 7th.
  • primaryguy has joined our staff team and has become a dispute resolver on November 19th.
  • MCTrades is no longer partnered with PhaseClan.
Trade and Security Enhancements
  • Repeated attempts to login will now cause the account to get temporarily locked.
  • Higher password standards have been set.
  • Users may no longer limit the viewing of their profile by themselves.
    • Changing your preference to hide your profile from everyone but whom you follow now requires you to message a staff team member with valid reasoning.
  • We're cracking down on accounts with temporary email accounts.
    • Accounts found to be utilizing temporary emails will receive a notification and be asked to update their email within 48 hours or have account limitations applied.
  • All too often, our warnings become ignored and repeat violations occur. To remove the possible excuse that one hadn't known of the issue, we now require acknowledgement of most warnings given out to continue normal usage of MCTrades.
  • We're working on a new automated moderation system to moderate places our team doesn't always get to.
  • We’re working on banning confirmed VPN and proxy IPs from registering.
Site Cleanup

Some of our features were quite pointless, for example a "declined" thread prefix in the declined section. We're working on cleaning it up.
  • All prefixes other than "Bug Report" and "Suggestion" have been removed...
Hello, everyone!

We've reached the end of October, and I'm sure you're all eager to see what updates there are in regards to our charity event.

Before announcing the results, I'd like to give a quick shoutout to all of those who donated: Combat_Log Damial Dew Ginger GolamT313 Isaac V JSlips Kesh Khafra kiingzly Kylew Moron NAV Nhytro Rogue Satty SomeAltShop Thiplol (special thanks to Anti for donating $25 for a charity medal!).

As a community, we raised a total of $120, falling $30 short of our $150 goal. Since we're so close to our goal, I'll be personally covering the $30 when sending the final amount to Gamer's Outreach.

Thank you to you all for being generous this month!

----------------------------------------------------------

Halloween is over, and our Spooky theme has been accordingly pulled from public view. If you'd like to use it year-round, feel free to purchase Emerald from our account upgrades section.

----------------------------------------------------------

For those of you who don't actively check our Twitter feed (which I really recommend you do!), we announced our one-year anniversary! MCTrades was officially installed on October 21st, 2016, and opened for use not too long after. It's crazy how far we have come. I would have never thought we would hit nearly 4,000 members back when I started the site. I have all of you to thank for getting us here.

To express our thanks to you all, we've added a coupon code for the beginning of November:

ANNIVERSARY - 15% off all upgrades

Hello there, everyone! There are some extensive updates for this month, so pay attention to this announcement!​

------------------------------------​


I'm happy to announce that MCTrades will be doing a fundraiser to collect funds for Gamers Outreach, a not-for-profit organization specifically geared towards a gamers to gamers mentality, helping those in need through video game therapy. As per their mission statement:

I had the opportunity to meet their founder last Minecon (very awesome guy), and I was extremely impressed by their agenda. I'm happy that MCTrades has the opportunity to assist this institution; users can donate in two ways:

  • Name color. For a limited time, users can purchase an exclusive Gamers Outreach name color (which I am currently sporting on my account). The color costs $5 and can be purchased from the upgrades page. The name color can also be gifted.
  • Charity Medal. We have an exclusive medal for those who wish to donate $25 or more. If you'd like to purchase access to this medal, please make a support ticket or private message Jayson or me.
Users are free to donate any amount they'd like (please contact us for any value besides $5); however, only these two tiers of cosmetic items are currently available.

Our current goal is $150. More info to come as we progress through the month of October!...


New Sections, Features, Rule Modifications, and a Sale!
As we continue to expand our userbase, we have also increased the items in which we provide to enhance your experience at MCTrades. Some of which includes new sections being created, feature additions, and rule modifications.

MCTrades has a new partner by the name of NotroDan , a prodigious Minecraft YouTuber. Make sure to subscribe to their channel over at https://www.youtube.com/c/NotroDan .

We've replaced our old post ratings and smilies with new, modern graphics for a cleaner look. Along with this but not as new, we've added a FontAwesome BBCode to MCTrades allowing you to use FontAwesome icons easily. The BBCode and an example usage is at the bottom of this announcement.

For those getting tired of constantly posting "bump" to bump your thread just to ask moments later to have it deleted, fear bumps no more! We've implemented a new Up Thread system. Each user is able to up a thread once every day, resetting at midnight. Emerald members can up two threads per day, one of which could be a scheduled thread, automatically bumping based on a period of time.

As due to popular demand, we have created requesting sections for OG Accounts, Semi-OG Accounts, Ranked Accounts, Cape Accounts, and...
Hello there, everyone! It's been a while since our last announcement, so I thought I should just go over what's new.

Discord integration:
In my opinion, by far one of the coolest features we've implemented. Users can now link their MCTrades account to their Discord account while in the MCTrades Discord guild. The process is relatively easy: simply go to "External Accounts" in your user dropdown (or, alternatively, press on that link), and authorize Quartermain (our official bot) to link your account to our website. Afterwards, you should be good to go!

Remember, you must join our Discord server in order to connect your account!

Partnerships:
We've set up some partnerships!
  • SuperAlts - SuperAlts is the largest alt shop out there! They provide various types of account-related items: FAs, SFAs, NFAs, and more! Be sure to check them out!
  • PhaseClan - PhaseClan is a popular hacking YouTuber with 18k subscribers! He's been helping us out for a while now, but we recently managed to negotiate a long-term partnership.
  • Minecript (undergoing rebranding) - Minecript (now Penzzly, LLC) offers a wide range of Minecraft-related products and services. Their website is currently undergoing reconstruction, but we will have more news released once it is finished!
EDIT: Animated avatar usage is now an Emerald feature, and you can gift users upgrades by clicking "Gift" on either their profile card or any of their posts!

Rule additions:
Since the addition of joinable user groups, the site has lacked set rules for regulating them. As such, we have now added rules:


Joinable User Groups Rules:

  • 4.1 Joinable user groups should only be created with the intent to provide cosmetic...

In case you didn't see the Discord announcement:


EDIT: Craftathon raised $6,225 for Child's Play Charity. Thanks to everyone on MCTrades for helping out and letting the community know :)

We're happy to announce that MCTrades is partnering with Craftathon, a weekend-long charity event supporting Child's Play Charity (http://childsplaycharity.org/) where popular members of the Minecraft community can play online in real-time with their fans.

Craftathon contains fun minigames, an SMP, and interesting and informative panels.

Craftathon will take place on July 29-30.

It costs a minimum of $5 to get a regular ticket, or alternatively $20 for a V.I.P. ticket which comes with more perks; 100% of the proceeds will go towards improving the lives of children in hospitals and domestic violence shelters.

Many of the MCTrades staff team will be present at the event in-game and on the Craftathon Discord (https://discord.gg/3JRDCZ3), so please join us for a weekend full of fun! Get your ticket for Craftathon today!

Forum Maintenance:

It has recently come to our attention that certain name colors are no longer working. Additionally, there have been various reported bugs regarding site-wide speed and website usage. In order to resolve most of these issues, we have set a maintenance date:

This Wednesday (June 12, 2017), at 4-7PM PDT (7-10PM EST).

Before and after Wednesday, you may experience some interruptions in various services. If for whatever reason the maintenance fails to resolve our issues, then we will reschedule to another date.

Thank, everyone!

Also, some updates:
  • We recently emailed the majority of the MCSell userbase stating that all ranks would be transferred. Due to the large volume of requests to transfer ranks, as of June 25, we will no longer transfer any ranks. We apologize for the inconvenience.
  • Minecraft accounts have been divided into two sections:
    • Minecraft Alts/FAs
      • This consists of, understandably, Minecraft Alts and FAs. I chose to separate it into a different forum in order to make things clear as to where to post.

      • Received no more than 10 warning points.
      • User isn’t a staff member.
      • You will automatically be upgraded once the daily cron runs. Give it about a day to update or so.
    • We’re hoping this will help user activity bloom. While the rank doesn’t have any special features yet, we’re planning on including access to exclusive forums and giveaways!
  • Affiliate marketing! As most of you have noticed, we have a referral system in place. If you’re interested in advertising MCTrades and making a quick...
