Your Voxel Journey, Now Visible to the World — Public Profiles Launch — PixTrava Blog

Skip to main content

PIXTRAVA

Pixtrava has always been about building and owning your spot in the voxel world. Every block you place, every claim you stake, every structure you raise — it all tells a story. But until now, that story has been something only you could see when you logged in. Today, that changes.

We're launching Public Profiles — a dedicated page for every player that showcases your identity, your build stats, and your creations to anyone who visits pixtrava.com. Your voxel journey is now visible to the world.

What's on Your Public Profile

Your profile is your personal corner of Pixtrava — a page that lives at pixtrava.com/u/yourname and tells the world who you are and what you've built.

Display Name & Avatar

Set a display name that shows up on your profile and in-world above your character. Upload an avatar or pick from a library of block-themed icons to make your profile instantly recognizable.

Bio

Write a short bio to tell your story — what you're building, what inspires you, or where to find your best work on the grid. A few sentences are all it takes to give visitors a sense of who you are.

Build Stats

Every profile displays your public statistics: total voxels placed, number of land claims, badges earned, and your join date. Whether you're a seasoned architect with thousands of blocks or a newcomer planting your first flag, your stats reflect the scale of your journey.

Profile Badges

Earn badges for milestones — first block placed, first claim, 100 blocks, 1,000 blocks, referral rewards, and more. Badges appear on your profile so visitors can see your achievements at a glance.

Build Gallery

Your most recent builds appear as a gallery of screenshots on your profile. Each entry shows a thumbnail, the build name, and a link to the coordinates on the grid so visitors can teleport directly to your creation and explore it in 3D.

How to Set Up Your Profile

Getting your profile live takes less than a minute:

Log in to Pixtrava and navigate to your Profile Settings .

Choose your display name — this becomes your public URL (pixtrava.com/u/yourname).

Upload an avatar and write a short bio.

Toggle your profile to public and save.

That's it. Your profile is live and shareable. Send the link to friends, post it on social media, or add it to your forum signature — anyone who visits will see your builds and stats in real time.

Built for Discovery

Public Profiles aren't just about showing off your own work — they make the entire grid more discoverable. Every build linked from a profile is one click away from being visited in 3D. When you find an impressive structure on the grid, you can click the builder's name to visit their profile and explore everything else they've created. It turns the infinite grid into a connected social experience, where every builder has a home page and every build is a doorway to more.

What's Next: Build Galleries & More

This is just the beginning for profiles. We're already working on curated build galleries that let you organize your creations into collections — showcase your best work in a "Featured" gallery, group builds by theme (castles, pixel art, redstone-style contraptions), or create a "WIP" gallery for projects still under construction.

Further down the roadmap: profile themes and customization, a "visitors" counter so you can see how many people have checked out your builds, and social features like following and shout-outs that let you amplify your favorite builders.

Profiles are the foundation of a social Pixtrava — a world where builders are visible, discoveries are shared, and every block you place adds to a public legacy that grows with you.

Your story is waiting to be told.

Claim your profile URL and show the world what you've built.
