Happy Midsummer, dear reader! Or should I say – Hoppy Midsummer? There is actually a very good reason for me to shoehorn yet another frog pun into an article here on Minecraft.net. I promise! Let me give you some background information and all will become clear.
Mojang Studios has offices in different areas of the world, but our HQ is located in Sweden. This small, northern country spends most of the year in darkness but when summer rolls around, the sun just refuses to set which is a good enough reason as any to celebrate! The festivities date back to the 1500s and kicked off when the summer came and the ground was fertile. These days, midsummer is celebrated on a Friday at the end of June. Which, if you are reading this article when it’s piping fresh off the presses, is today!
