“One of my all-time best Minecraft memories is finding out that I’m basically a hoarder. An organized one, but still, a hoarder. There’s no item or block too mundane to collect (well, after a while you can only stand so many dirt blocks before going mad, aaand maybe leaves). In conclusion, all the houses I’ve ever built in Minecraft have been overflowing with chests. But to be fair, I’m without a doubt labelling each and every one of them with item frames of what’s inside.” – Alice Löfgren, Hoarder Head of Social Media.
“My best memory is from when I built a subway system between me and my friends' various bases of operations. Each stop had a fully developed train station, both above and below the ground, and the tracks provided a constant max speed with powered rails. The longest train line lasts for 20 minutes – perfect to go grab a coffee!” – Ninni Landin, Art Director
“Hey! I built at least half of that subway system!” – Per Landin, Writer, Disgruntled Sibling
“One of my favourite memories was getting to go to MINECON for the first time. I couldn’t afford to go before I started working for Mojang, but I’d always wanted to. I remember walking into the huge show floor and even just seeing things being constructed for the show was magical. I was surrounded by everything Minecraft – a game that helped bring me out of depression and allowed me to do things I couldn’t do in real life because of my disabilities. The next morning when everything was built and I walked in to prepare for the day, I was just overwhelmed with emotion at being immersed in everything Minecraft.” – Helen Zbihlyj, Community Manager
“My favourite Minecraft Memory? Er, I only started working here yesterday. Entering the office, I guess?” – Anna Holdosi-Simon, Producer.
TOM AGAIN: Welcome to Mojang, Anna! Tweet us your #MinecraftMemories and show us what real nostalgia looks like. Let’s end on a monster of a memory from Java Developer, Agnes Larsson:
Agnes: “It was quite early 2012 and me, my little brother and a friend were playing Minecraft together. We were at my brother's place for one of our classic "Minecraft and dinner" evenings. Our little Minecraft world had slowly turned into a little kingdom with two main villages and a few outposts in the mountains. But that evening we decided we wanted to build something bigger! We wanted a big, or rather, a HUGE capital for our kingdom!
“We went on a journey to find the perfect location. After approximately one in-game day of walking, we found a nice plains area next to a pretty ocean bay and a winding river. So we started to build the first houses. We only play in survival and can be quite lazy builders, so imagine a quite basic little Minecraft village at first.
“Many years have passed since that day, and we are still working on the same project! For many months we tried to figure out an epic name for this epic-to-be city. We kept just calling it "the capital" (or rather "huvudstaden", in Swedish). So one day we actually decided to call this city Huvudstaden!"
