Hi everyone,
Minecraft.net is due for a revamp. For years, we’ve wanted this website to represent every bit of our game, from the YouTubers to the impractical creeper mugs. Now, thanks to the slinkiest devs and hottest wordsmiths in the business, that day has finally come.
The humble Mojang blog has served us well. We’ve reported on updates, new editions, DLC packs, billion dollar acquisitions, multiple Minecons, charity game jams, unexpected EULA tweaks, and lots, lots more. Despite all that, it’s still felt like an inward-looking place.
The new Minecraft.net has a wider perspective. Though we’ll still report on all of the above (hopefully no more EULA stuff - that kinda stressed me out), we’re planning to highlight the incredible things you create on a daily basis, introduce you to the Mojang staff, give insight into development, and riff on all things Minecraft, from our favourite mobs to the humble grass block.
Honourable word-goblin, Marsh has been preparing a selection of articles to get you started. Marsh comes from a background in journalism and illustration and joined Mojang almost a year ago. He’s a keen artist, baker, and reader of historical novels about naval battles.
I'm Owen. You'll see a lot of my work on the site. Though it feels like a distant past (I've been here for almost five years!), I also share a background in games journalism. When I'm not writing introductory posts I enjoy playing games, riding bikes fast, and painting Blood Bowl teams.
