Hey creators, We've shipped a bunch of improvements to the featured resource ads system: Max featured ad fee reduced to 50%. We've lowered the cap from 90% down to 50% as a creator-friendly guardrail so no one ends up paying unsustainable rates on hotly-contested categories Clearer performance metrics. We've retired the old % visibility score (which was hard to make sense of) in favour of showing you how many extra impressions and clicks you can expect per month. A lot more useful for understanding actual impact More detailed projections. We've replaced the old "competitive rate"...

Hi everyone! We've got a few updates today, all aimed at making BuiltByBit a marketplace you can buy and sell on with total confidence. AI Content Disclosure We've added a new AI content disclosure to every resource. Creators now tell you whether they used AI, both in the product files and in the marketing, and it sits right there on the product page. For creators, these are two new required fields alongside the existing ones like open source and DRM-free. Like those, you'll fill them in on new resources when you publish, and update them on your existing resources before you can make any...

Hey everyone, We've rebuilt the Your Licenses page from the ground up, and it's one of the biggest quality-of-life upgrades we've shipped in a while. It's one of the most-used pages on the entire site, so it was well overdue some love. Here's what's new: Download resources straight from the page, no more clicking into each one Clear "update available" flags so you're never stuck on an old version Watch resources right from the list to get notified the moment they update Upgrade your licenses with addons or buy extensions from the page We've also created a new post-purchase page rather...

Hey creators, We're making some big changes to how we handle copyright and unowned content. This is the area we've struggled with the most, and where we know we've let creators down. We've grown fast, and our policies here haven't kept up the way they should have. We do a great job across the rest of the platform, and these changes are about bringing that same standard here. The short version: we're becoming a lot more transparent, and with that comes being firmer about where the lines are. Some of you will need to make changes, so please read properly. More transparency For a long time...

Hello creators! A rather unexciting yet very important support update today. Over the years, we've made many improvements to the tooling we use to provide our moderation and support services, and our disputes process has lagged behind in that regard, consistently being the slowest area of support. We're changing that with a dedicated system to streamline and automate much of the previously manual processes. This initial release will only apply to resource review disputes, which will help us identify any areas for improvements before we roll it out to other types of disputes like...

Hey creators, We're rolling out our new featured ad system to all categories! After a successful launch with our Roblox creators over the past couple of weeks, it's now available for everyone. This new system replaces the weekly auction system for featured resources, and it's significantly simpler. The short version: you only pay when you actually make a sale. How the new system works If you decide to feature your resource then it will start appearing in featured spots across category pages, search results, and filter combinations. When someone buys your resource after clicking on your...

Hi creators, Our Easter sale is live! It's not too late to join, I'm gonna ping everyone in an announcement in a couple of hours. So if you haven't already, we recommend that you add your resources to the sale event through your creator dashboard. Update on the Hytale ecosystem We're really proud to have been supporting Hytale from the very beginning. The team behind Hytale are doing incredible things and their pace of improvements has been seriously impressive. In our first week we averaged $944/day in Hytale sales. Since then, things have naturally cooled off and in the past week...

Hi creators! Got a bit of a long announcement for you today with lots of improvements we've made to resources. You can now publish Hytale resources We've now opened categories for Hytale modding so creators can start publishing resources. We've got categories for everything our Minecraft creators would expect like plugins, models, and server setups, plus we've split builds into separate categories for worlds and prefabs (essentially schematics). If you're already publishing for other platforms, it's worth porting your creations over to Hytale. Tools are already being released to help...

Happy New Year creators! What a year it's been! 2025 was truly incredible for BuiltByBit, and as we step into 2026, I want to take a moment to extend a huge thank you to all our creators for being part of this journey and for everything you've contributed to our community over the past year. Platform Another incredible year of improvements from the BuiltByBit team. Here are some of the highlights: Redesigned discovery pages with improved filtering, hundreds of new filter options, and 350+ SEO-friendly landing pages for better search engine discoverability Overhauled addons with new...

Hi creators! Growth update After our relatively polarising announcement last month, I wanted to provide an update to let you know that things are going great so far and the results of our changes to addons, EULAs, and minimum prices have all worked out according to plan: Our new minimum prices resulted in creators earning 6.8% more during regular periods while receiving 4.2% fewer sales with no impact on the distribution of purchases between large and small creators. This means creators are earning more while needing to provide less ongoing support to buyers Our Black Friday sale event...

If you haven't been following the news, a few weeks ago Hytale was revived by the original team, including Simon and others from Hypixel. Since then, an incredible amount of information has been released about how user-generated content and modding will work. We're excited about their vision for what servers will be, and so we're announcing our expansion into Hytale! As the largest marketplace for Minecraft and Roblox assets, it's a natural fit for us to expand into Hytale from day one. We also believe we have an exciting opportunity to help grow the creator ecosystem as open creator...

Hi everyone, Happy Halloween! Our creators' most anticipated update of the year is here: the payments update! Addons overhaul The following improvements have been made to all addon types: Addons can now be deactivated and deleted. You can also grant/revoke addons for buyers and use our new API endpoints to check if a buyer has purchased addons Coupons and sale events now work with addons Split payments can now be set for each addon and collaborators can now create and edit addons When we introduced addons we knew that creators would find them useful, but didn’t know exactly what use...

Hey creators, Today BuiltByBit hit a huge milestone: $5,000,000 of creator earnings through our resources marketplace! And what's cool is that half of this was earned in just the past year and a half (we're growing fast!) We celebrated our 11th anniversary last month, and we're excited to continue this momentum and support our vibrant community of creators. It's worth taking a moment to reflect on just how far we've come as a community and what we've achieved. We're the largest independent marketplace for Minecraft and Roblox developer assets. We're also at the forefront of the industry...
