Never thought I’d abandon Twitter, but you’re always just a click away from some of the worst people imaginable. Not sure if I’ll be back or not.
So anyway, follow me here for my Minecraft and other gaming posts: bsky.app/profile/marc-irl.bs…

I've now worked for Mojang for ten years, or, 27% of my life. A long journey that spanned two countries, four (official) roles, several different games, and many life changes.

If someone tries to sell you on the idea that an NFT will let only YOU have a thing in a game, it's probably a scam.
Minecraft added single-user cosmetic entitlements TEN YEARS AGO and it didn't require any new technology. You just... added it to one person's account.

The Minecraft mob vote is fun and all, but if I ever work on a game that has voting and it’s not limited to something like “what color should that tree be” and instead “here’s a very complex thing that half the people are gonna be mad at you for”, I’m gonna be a little upset.

Soooo... #TeamSniffer right? 😊
Only one mystery remains: Which mob will you vote for?
◾ Rascal
◾ Sniffer
◾ Tuff golem
The Mob Vote begins October 14 at noon EDT and will stay open for 24 hours. Choose wisely!

It is 2022. My coffee mug wants me to log in, wants to know my location, and if it can send me promotional emails.
On the other hand, now I’m more likely to pick up a warm cup of coffee after I remember that I made one 20 minutes ago. 🤷🏻♂️

Capes need to be devalued. The current implementation cultivates both elitism and account hacking. The rare ones won't be any less rare, and aside from Realms capes, most players haven't had the chance to get them for years. I can't think of a single thing wrong with this.

This signed copy of Minecraft: Builders and Biomes was hanging out at my desk for some future use. Tons of people being stuck inside seems like a great time to give it away.
Retweet this tweet, follow so I can DM, and on Monday I'll randomly pick a winner and send it to them.

1. No official evidence of any voter fraud, you can’t just repeat what the person who benefits from claims of voter fraud says.
2. If we get universal healthcare, your kids will be better taken care of.
3. Alaska is part of the United States.
It will be okay.

If board games are what floats your boat, you'll want to check these out this fall.

Also I'm not sure why NFTs would be needed for entitlements to work. You could *theoretically* do it today without that.
And by theoretically I mean dilute brands, burn a bunch of money re-implementing in other games for no revenue.
I don't think Mike has thought this through.

Mojang will never send you an email asking for your security questions or password. Also be on guard for emails sent from URLs that are, upon closer inspection, definitely not ours.

After about 6 years working with user-generated content in Minecraft, it's time for me to learn some new tricks.
On Monday, I'm headed over to help produce things in our New Games org, the folks behind Minecraft Dungeons and Builders & Biomes. It's a big change, and I'm excited!

I had a heck of a time finding Steve in this. Then @jeb_ walks up to my desk, asks "is there really a Steve in there?", looks, and finds him IMMEDIATELY. 😂

I've that some community groups sometimes feel underappreciated. So to be clear:
Modders, mapmakers, and artists are responsible for Minecraft's success.
Video content creators and servers are responsible for Minecraft's success.
You are responsible for Minecraft's success

Look at that: the Java launcher has a second game in it! If you play Dungeons on PC through the existing Dungeons launcher, now you can find both games in one place. It's very convenient!

"Why isn't X in the game? The developers are lazy!"
Translates to:
"I'm upset because a feature or fix that means a lot to me isn't in the game. Because I have little insight into how the game is created, from the outside, this feels like an easy addition to me."

Anyway, this wasn’t a dig at vanilla Minecraft, this was a “for those who haven’t played Dungeons, it’s canon to the Minecraft franchise’s mythology, and look at some of the things we added.”

2011 marks the start of a lot of "10 years ago in Minecraft..." posts from people. This fall will be the first showing at PAX, then Minecon Vegas, v1.0, and more... Feels strange to have spent about a third of my life on various Minecrafty things.
