Available for hire removed

Changed

  • Terms and Privacy Policy updated: services can now be listed by networks as well as talent, and open-to-work notes are no longer listed as data we hold or show.

Removed

  • The Available for hire board is gone, along with the "open to work" note on profiles and the home page card. Your availability setting stays, and the talent directory can still be filtered by it.
  • Any open to work note you posted has been deleted. The old /available link now goes to the talent directory.

Account menu

Added

  • Online status: people now show a green dot when they are active on Minebit and "Last seen" with a time when they are not, on talent profiles and cards, network pages and in messages. You can turn it off on your Account page, and then nothing is recorded or shown.
  • Account menu: hover or click your name in the top bar to open a menu with your dashboard, your public profile, Post a job, Insights, Account and Sign out. Admins and staff also see a link to the admin area.

Changed

  • Clicking your picture in the top bar now takes you to your dashboard. The menu still opens when you hover, and on a phone a tap opens the menu.
  • The dashboard switch now says Talent and Hiring instead of Talent and Network, and the text around it says servers, studios and dev teams so teams of every kind know it is for them.

Removed

  • The separate Sign out, Post a job and Admin links in the top bar for signed-in people. They are in the account menu now. Visitors who are not signed in still see Post a job.

Privacy and legal

Added

  • Your data download now also includes who you follow, who follows you, and your notification settings.

Changed

  • The site's typeface is now served from our own servers instead of Google Fonts, so your browser no longer contacts Google when you visit.
  • The Privacy Policy was rewritten to show the legal basis for each use of your data, name the providers we use, list every cookie and what it is for, and describe how long logs are kept and where data is processed.
  • We no longer keep your Discord avatar link, since nothing on the site showed it. Any already stored was removed.

Email notifications and settings

Added

  • Email notifications: new messages, followers, application and job updates, quotes, reviews, team invitations, feedback replies, promotion updates and account notices can now be emailed to you.
  • Notification settings: a new page, linked from Notifications and your Account page, where you choose for each kind of thing whether it shows on the site and whether it is emailed. Notices about your account, vetting and reports always show on the site, but you can turn off their emails.

Changed

  • Alerts about jobs that match your skills are now their own setting, and are not emailed unless you turn that on.
PlatformOctober 15, 2026

Read receipts and link previews

Added

  • Read receipts: each message you send in a conversation says "Delivered" until the other person opens it, then "Seen" with how long ago. Hover for the exact time.
  • Link previews: sharing a talent profile or network page in Discord or other chat apps now shows a proper card with the banner, avatar, name, Vetted or Verified mark, rating, headline and top skills, instead of plain text. The card updates when the profile changes.
PlatformOctober 14, 2026

Badge, counters and home page

Added

  • Character counters: every text box with a length limit shows how many characters you have used, and the count turns red as you get close to the limit.
  • The home page now invites people to join as founders while pilot spots are open, and has quick links to each kind of talent.

Changed

  • The profile badge for GitHub READMEs and Discord bios has a new look: the Minebit mark and wordmark, your name, a green Vetted segment and a gold rating, with sharper icons.
  • The home page now describes everyone on the site (developers, builders, artists, editors and server staff), not only developers.
PlatformOctober 14, 2026

Founders

Added

  • Founders: people who sign up while the pilot is open become numbered founders. Their name is drawn in shimmering blue on their profile or network page and in lists.
  • Founder credit: when paid features start, founders receive credit. It is applied automatically to job posts, promotions and other paid features, and only used up when a payment goes through. Your balance and history are on your Account page.
PlatformOctober 14, 2026

Guides, rates and this changelog

Added

  • Guides: how to hire a Minecraft developer, how to price your work, how to write a job post, how to build a portfolio, and how to work together safely.
  • Rate guide: typical hourly rates and fixed prices for common Minecraft work, with live figures from Minebit once there are enough listings to show.
  • This changelog, with a filter for the part of the site you use and an Atom feed.
  • A More menu in the header for the new pages.

Changed

  • The footer links to the new pages.
