It is heavily inspired by Infiniminer. From its creation, Minecraft was developed almost exclusively by Notch until Jens "Jeb" Bergensten started working with him, and has since become head of its development. It features music by Daniel "C418" Rosenfeld and paintings by Kristoffer Zetterstrand. Initially released as what is now known as Minecraft Classic on May 17, 2009, the game was released as Minecraft 1.0 on November 18, 2011. Since its release, Minecraft has expanded to mobile devices and consoles. On November 6, 2014, Minecraft and all of Mojang's assets were acquired by Microsoft.<ref>https://mojang.com/2014/09/yes-were-being-bought-by-microsoft/</ref><ref>{{tweet|xboxp3|530368089418784768}}</ref> Minecraft focuses on allowing the player to explore, interact with, and modify a dynamically-generated map made of one-cubic-meter-sized blocks. In addition to blocks, the environment features plants, mobs, and items. Some activities in the game include mining for ore, fighting hostile mobs, and crafting new blocks and tools by gathering various resources found in the game. The game's open-ended model allows players to create structures, creations and artwork on various multiplayer servers or their own single player maps. Other features include redstone circuits for logic computations and remote actions, minecarts and tracks, and a mysterious underworld called the Nether. A designated but completely optional goal of the game is to travel to a dimension called the End, and defeat the Ender Dragon. {{-}} === ''Caller’s Bane'' === ''Caller’s Bane'' (originally known as ''[[Scrolls]]'') is another Mojang game which was first conceived and developed by [[Jakob Porsér]]<ref>http://www.scrolls.com</ref>, with [[Måns Olson]] and [[Henrik Pettersson]] joining later on.<ref>http://scrollsdev.tumblr.com/post/75801791192/team-changes</ref> Announced on March 2, 2011,<ref>http://mojang.com/2011/03/02/introducing-our-new-game-scrolls</ref> it aims to combine elements from trading card games and traditional board game in the strategy genre. In August 2011, Mojang had been threatened with legal action by the legal team representing [[wikipedia:ZeniMax Media|ZeniMax Media]], with the accusation being that the original title "''Scrolls''" infringes on the ''[[wikipedia:The Elder Scrolls|The Elder Scrolls]]'' trademark, a series of role-playing video games published by [[wikipedia:Bethesda Softworks|Bethesda Softworks]] (a ZeniMax Media subsidiary). In mid-October 2011, the court case was won by Mojang,<ref>{{tweet|notch|126196998826242048}}</ref> and one employee described the outcome as "the court saw it from our side". No further action was taken against Mojang, and the name "''Scrolls''" was allowed to remain. The game was first made available to a limited number of people through alpha keys giveaways, starting from July 5, 2012.<ref>http://scrolls.com/2012/07/ready-set-alpha</ref> It then hit beta on June 3, 2013<ref>http://scrolls.com/2013/06/weve-hit-open-beta-scrolls-is-now-on-sale</ref> since when it is purchasable at a discounted price. The game was fully released on December 12, 2014,<ref>https://mojang.com/2014/12/scrolls-released-on-pc-mac-and-android-tablets/</ref> but on June 29th, 2015, Mojang announced that development of ''Scrolls'' would cease as "the game has reached a point where it can no longer sustain continuous development".<ref>https://scrolls.com/2015/06/its-been-a-blast-automaton</ref> Servers for the game didn’t shut down, however, until February 13, 2018.<ref>https://scrolls.com/2018/02/server-news</ref> On June 20, 2018, it was announced the the game would be released for free the same day, along with changing the name from ''Scrolls'' to ''Caller’s Bane''.<ref>https://scrolls.com/2018/06/the-game-is-now-free</ref> === ''Cobalt'' === ''Cobalt'' is an action game developed by [http://www.oxeyegames.com Oxeye Game Studios] and published / co-developed by Mojang. The gameplay consists of "running, jumping, rolling, shooting, throwing, dancing, hacking, rolling, flying, sliding, climbing, looting, deflecting, racing, piñata-ing, passing, scoring… and even more rolling!" ''Cobalt'' is written in [[wikipedia:Lua (programming language)|Lua]] and a dated alpha version is available on [[wikipedia:Windows|Windows]] and [[wikipedia:Mac|Mac]]. The game is expected to be released through a launcher, as well as on [http://store.steampowered.com Steam] for [[wikipedia:Windows|Windows]] and [[wikipedia:Mac|Mac]]. ''Cobalt'' will also available on Xbox 360 and Xbox One, which is being ported/developed by [http://www.fatsharkgames.com Fatshark], [http://pixeldiet.se Pixeldiet], and published by Microsoft Studios. ''Cobalt'' was originally going to be released on October 30, 2015, but was delayed to be released on February 2, 2016 instead.<ref>https://mojang.com/2016/02/cobalt-is-now-available-to-download/</ref> The game also features music by [http://anosou.com Mattias ''<nowiki>'anosou'</nowiki>'' Häggström Gerdt].<ref>http://www.playcobalt.com</ref> {| class="collapsible collapsed collapse-button-none" ! style="text-align: left" | Oxeye Game Studios Employees<ref>http://www.playcobalt.com</ref> |- | {| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;" |+ Employees !

It was inspired by the games ''[[wikipedia:History of the World (board game)|History of the World]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Slay|Slay]]'', although many compare it to ''[[wikipedia:Risk (game)|Risk]]''. The game puts the player in control of a nation warring against others on a tile-based map. Each turn, the player earns income based on how many conquered tiles they have, and can spend earned money to conquer other tiles or improve their own through the construction of structures like forts, villages and universities, which all provide different bonuses. The player wins a map once they have vanquished all enemies, regardless of actual remaining neutral tiles.<ref>{{article|rockpapershotgun.com/2016/04/22/crown-council-free-strategy-game-from-minecraft-devs-mojang/|Minecraft Devs Release ''Crown And Council'' Free|April 22, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{article|ext=pcgamer.com/mojang-strategy-game-crown-and-council/|Mojang releases a free strategy game called ''Crown and Council''|April 22, 2016}}</ref> There are 75 maps, with additional maps being procedurally generated.<ref>{{article|ext=gamespot.com/articles/minecraft-dev-releases-surprise-free-game-on-steam/1100-6439094/|Minecraft Dev Releases Surprise Free Game on Steam|April 22, 2016}}</ref> He originally said he planned on continuing working on the game to fix bugs and add features.<ref>{{article|ext=http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/273446/Mojangs_Crown_and_Council_From_hobby_project_to_Steam_release.php|Mojang's ''Crown and Council'': From hobby project to Steam release|May 25, 2016}}</ref> An update released in January 2017 added a 99-map campaign and tweaks to the procedural generation and land-taking mechanics to improve balance. The most important change was in the calculations affecting the attack and defence of territories: the element of "randomness" was removed, and "attrition" was added, meaning that failed attacks improve the chance of future attacks succeeding. This update also added OSX and Linux versions.<ref>{{article|ext=rockpapershotgun.com/2017/01/31/crown-and-council-gets-royally-updated-still-free/|''Crown and Council'' gets royally updated, still free|31 January 2017}}</ref> === Unreleased games === ==== ''0x10<sup>c</sup>'' ==== Following the end to his involvement with ''Minecraft'', Notch began pre-production of an alternate reality space game set in the distant future on March 2012. 0x10<sup>C</sup> is a hexadecimal number equivalent to 16<sup>12</sup> in decimal, which equals 281,474,976,710,656, which was the number of years that were passed in story since 1988. On April Fools' Day, Mojang launched a satirical website for ''Mars Effect'', citing the lawsuit with Bethesda as an inspiration.<ref>http://www.shadowlocked.com/201203312487/news/minecraft-creator-scores-april-fool-with-project-mars-effect.html</ref> However, the gameplay elements remained true and on April 4, Mojang revealed it as a space sandbox title.<ref>http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2012/04/03/mojang-registers-website-for-its-new-game-0x10c</ref> The game was eventually indefinitely postponed because Notch had found creative blocks, citing the main problem as "it not being very fun to play" ==== ''Rex Kwon Do'' ==== Until July 2012, Mojang was co-developing a video game called ''Rex Kwon Do'' alongside an undisclosed developer. Before the title had reached a significant stage of development, Mojang canceled the collaboration, due to their lack of involvement and influence on the project.<ref>http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/07/25/notch-on-why-minecraft-still-isnt-on-steam/</ref> == Trivia == * The "AB" in "Mojang AB" stands for Aktiebolag, which roughly translates to Limited or Ltd in English. == References == <references/> [[Category:Mojang| ]]
