Calling it now: • Jeb makes a lot of good changes to Minecraft pretty quickly, fans react positively and praise Jeb • Scrolls comes out and nobody likes it • Notch can't deal, immediately re-seizes control of Minecraft, moves Jeb to Scrolls The most fun part of Minecraft's gameplay is Talking About Notch on Forums.

Jeb was behind some of the better updates we've had before, so I think I'd trust him to polish Minecraft up to a more refined release.

So will jeb be able to hire on as well and grow the team? I'd really like to see where minecraft could go if it had a bigger such as ai developer, item coder and whatnot. It's kind of funny though, if majong was ran like google then half of the people who have modded minecraft would have been bought out by now which should honestly be done. I'm sure it wouldn't cost a billion dollars considering most of the modders are kids who would just love to say what they developed is officially in the game.

Not bad I guess but I already have a diamond pick with unbreaking III. :/ think I'll just invedit some ice blocks already, man. This is really lovely, any chance you could upload the save file? I'm always impressed by these small but elegantly-designed houses and gardens in Minecraft. I honestly couldn't give a poo poo about mega-structures and primitive red-stone video games, the best buildings in Minecraft are ones that are subtly impressive and yet don't look like whoever built it lost a weeks worth of sleep over it (I mean that in the best way possible).

Yeah, if I'm remembering correctly, Notch had some issues when adding new features of things fitting into some sort of "theme" with minecraft that doesn't really exist. And Jens was the one who announced that there will indeed be a mod API at minecon, right?

Something weird happened to me when I discovered my first nether fortress. I was walking inbetween two outer walls with a low-ish ceiling when all of the sudden I got stuck in the ground, and started taking damage. I dug underneath me to escape but then I hit the ground below at low health and died, spewing my innards into the adjacent lava pools. I'm guessing I started suffocating? I didn't see any mobs around, and I'm not using a texture pack so they wouldn't be invisible either. Is this a bug?

You were probably starving. If your hunger bar is empty, you will take damage down to half a heart. And then, yeah, a small drop kills you.

I didn't see my first one until after it hit me on the head the first time.

I am so glad I am not the only person to have experienced this. Once, I was in a cave, and a slime hopped from way above me and goomba stomped me into oblivion. I was laughing too hard to be angry at it.

I guess it could've been a magma cube, I didn't see anything around me or anything, but I didn't think to look straight up. Do magma cubes also cause you to get stuck in one spot if they're bouncing on you? I killed other magma cubes before, but those came from in front of me. Also it feels a little ridiculous to get killed like a goomba.

If I walked into our QA department right now, I'd likely find people playing both WoW and Minecraft. Two games that famously need better QA. It is a wonderful irony.

Well. Notch finally did what he should have done a long while ago. I am thinking the minecon drama woke him up to the fact that he really needed to let someone else take over. I'm sure Notch can still function in adding some quirkiness to minecraft but Jeb's going to pretty much refocus the project. As people are saying this really should have happened before launch. Like, a year ago at least.

People keep going "YES FINALLY I AM SO GLAD NOTCH QUIT HAHAHA" But, uh. You haven't wanted that ever until the Yogscast thing. I haven't heard a single person praying to the powers that be that Notch stop working on Minecraft. Sure, I've heard people say Jeb should be in charge before, but that's completely different than Notch quitting, which is what people seem to think he's doing.  Even then, Notch isn't quitting. He's not even stepping down from working on Minecraft. People apparently don't know how to read the "I still plan to help out on the project" in between the "I am announcing that" and "although I'm still stepping down as head developer".
