Shadow-Spigot site update: new server, catalog and profiles


Shadow-Spigot has moved to its own server, and the site got a new catalog, new member profiles and a lot of smaller improvements. Here is what changed.

A faster, more stable site​

Shadow-Spigot now runs on a dedicated server. Pages load faster, the site holds up better under load, and it is protected against attacks and watched around the clock.

New product catalog​

The Products page has a new look:
  • Search inside the catalog that keeps your filters and sorting.
  • Works with filter showing how many products support each plugin: ItemsAdder, Oraxen, Nexo, ModelEngine, MythicMobs and more.
  • Empty categories are hidden and paging is easier.

Brand-new member profiles​

  • A full-width cover banner, now kept in high resolution (up to 2560 px wide).
  • Your stats, level and awards at a glance.
  • For creators: recent releases and updates, all your works with search, filters and sorting, a Featured work you pick yourself and Collections to group your works.
Tip: for the sharpest banner, upload a JPG about 2560 px wide.

One avatar style everywhere​

Avatars now look the same across the whole site: a clean rounded square. Large avatars on the home page and in creator spotlights are sharper too.

Packs for your plugin​

Plugin pages now show Packs for <Plugin>: packs that need or support that plugin, with a link to see all of them in the catalog. Every model pack also links to our step-by-step guide How to Add Custom 3D Models to a Minecraft Server.

Redesigned emails​

Registration, password reset and notification emails have a new branded look, with clear buttons and short previews of new resources.

Discord​

  • New resources are posted as image cards, each in its own channel: models, plugins or builds.
  • Quick invite link: shadow-spigot.com/discord

Fixes​

  • Logging in, registering and searching work again for everyone; some visitors had trouble with them for a few days.
  • Saving a resource update is much faster, it no longer hangs for 5–10 seconds.
