Minecraft

Just gotten the news that Notch has stepped down as lead developer and handed the helm to Jeb.
 
Och med dom orden så passar jag micken.

As of yesterday, Jens Bergensten is the new lead developer on Minecraft. He will have the final say in all design decisions, so he will kinda sorta become my boss, I guess. I’ve promised him to not pull rank. ;)

We’ve been working together on Minecraft for a year now, and I’m amazed at how much in synch we two are when it comes to how to design the game. And when we don’t agree, we discuss it and something much better comes out at a result. He’s truly a great person to work with, and I feel very confident handing over the leadership of Minecraft to him.

If you want to contact Jens, he’s on twitter as @jeb_, or you can email him at jeb@mojang.com

Personally, I will now rest for a while, then get back to work refreshed and eager. I’ll be helping out with Minecraft, of course, but also starting work on some new project.

I'm not surprised, if he didn't have another project he really wanted to work on (and take a break to spend more time with his wife) I doubt Notch would have released Minecraft yet.

EDIT: Also Notch wanted to play some Diablo 3.

It works!
 
You realize that with some clever piston work you could have the light spin right?
 
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with Notch admitting he's a brony. :mischief:
 
Yogscast?

Aww... what's the matter, Mr. Zombie? Can't get in?
