Coasters & Crafters
Creator directories and community discovery with an app-like cyan-on-dark interface ready for the Atlas chapter.
A community platform for Minecraft creators, parks and theme-park builders — now evolving into Atlas with a dark, high-visibility interface.
Overview
Coasters & Crafters is a community-driven platform where Minecraft creators, developers and community leaders connect, advertise and grow. The product serves theme-park builders, Discord communities and creative networks — with directories, news, events and livestream features. The brand is transitioning toward Atlas as an expanded evolution of the platform.
Challenge
The audience expects a modern, app-like experience that can surface many communities without feeling cluttered. The design needed a dark visual language that felt premium for creators while remaining usable for discovery and onboarding.
Solution
UI and flows were designed in Figma, with logo and marketing assets crafted in Illustrator and Photoshop. The live product is built on Next.js and React with a cyan-on-dark palette, community cards, search and a clear path for groups to start building their presence ahead of the Atlas relaunch.
Outcome
Creators get a dedicated home to promote Minecraft parks and communities, with a scalable front-end foundation ready for the next brand chapter.
