To those mailing/tweeting/DMing/etc me blaming & insulting me about some Minecraft stuff: I've been off work for 1.5 years for my health. I physically can't get out of bed most of the time and it's getting worse by the day. I have nothing to do with anything you're upset over.

Minecraft turns 10 years old today! Oh my gosh!
I remember all those years ago, making silly mods for this tiny game that probably wasn't going to go anywhere. 🙃❤️
Well, the time has come.
My 5 year old son just asked me how to mod Minecraft.
👀
I also fixed the super annoying thing where you're typing a message to someone whilst you're in bed and suddenly your chat closes because it's day.
The amount of times that's upset me in the last few weeks alone… oh gosh.
What's your most annoying tiny thing in Minecraft?
For your viewing pleasure, I present the entire Minecraft "vanilla" team! Bedrock and Java and everyone in between :)
When voting for which mob to add to Minecraft, there's only one important question to ask.
Which would look better upside down?
The Java team has grown so much lately. In size, and efficiency. We're now 11 people and have actual processes for doing things - we're not just winging it anymore! ... mostly.
You guys are going to be blown away by the first 1.14 snapshot.
I'm so proud of my team. <3
I've spent a good part of this year on a break from work for mental health. I'm so thankful for my colleagues and Mojang for encouraging me to take the time off, I don't think I would have made the leap alone.
Tomorrow, I'm coming back to work. Back to the world of Minecraft...
This is absolutely heartbreaking. :(

Dear parents that don't play games,
You can discipline kids in a million ways, but if you destroy their digital homes, their creativity, or the things they love - you are being cruel.
They will never trust you with anything they care for again, and they'd be right not to.
Played some Among Us for the first time recently, and as much as I love the game and it's concept - it's absolutely brutal for colourblind players.
I saw someone go into a vent. Was it orange, red or brown? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One of the greens walked away from a body. Which one?! Ahhhhh!
Cant believe the eclipse is region locked. It's 2017 why are content updates still georestricted? The "life" developers need to rethink this
This was bothering me for years so I tried to do something about it: Minecraft Java Edition doesn't completely hang when you open it, now you can close/resize/etc it, without Windows going "hey this program crashed!"
Not sure if the progress bar is here to stay, though!
Oh I also forgot to mention that I just passed my 10 year anniversary working at Mojang and thus on Minecraft!
It was in February 😅
It doesn't feel like 10 years. Gosh. I was a teenager when I started modding Minecraft and now I'm 30. Oh dear. Time is escaping!
I redesigned the effects list for today's snapshot, so that they're visible even with the recipe book open & even if you don't have much screen space. Check it out and let me know any thoughts on how it looks? ❤️
(icons only is when there's not enough space for the big list)
The Minecraft team just got back from a few days workshop where we tried to come up with as many ideas as we can to fit into the next update. We already knew the theme, but this is the stage where we're trying to go through all the community and dev suggestions for content ideas.
My absolute favourite minecraft java edition seed right now: 4500439269610415558
You spawn on a shipwreck in the middle of an ocean. There's so many cool things nearby too. It's amazing. :D
Spent today moving desks at Mojang... Oh hey, I'm rejoining the Minecraft PC team! It's been so long, so much has changed!
Today I just took a step that I've been trying to do for over 10 years, and reached out to a professional about my anxiety & to a lesser extent depression (which I'm mostly over, though hard to say!)
#MentalHealth is important. It shouldn't be as taboo to talk about as it is. ❤️
Hot take because nobody asked for it: fleets and stories just reinforce social media addiction and are inherently evil.
You can't take a break, you're going to miss out.
You have to check every so often, or you'll miss out.
We shouldn't encourage social media addiction :(
"Make the text white" but because of lighting it'll just be an ugly grey.
Heads up Minecraft modders: On Friday we'll change the legal text on our obfuscation mappings. We're hoping that this change will make the legal terms clearer for projects like MCP/Forge/Spigot/etc to operate going forwards, ideally using our maps, and make modding easier for all
Boo! I'm dressed up as a minecraft snapshot ;)
minecraft.net/article/minecr
Stuck in an elevator for 20 minutes now, just got an ETA of 30 minutes for a rescue. Oh dear!
Tomorrow's snapshot has a small surprise for modders! Should make one or two people happy :)
Sure the new Nether stuff looks pretty neat, but you know what would make it amazing? Flip it upside down. Everything's better with a new perspective!
Today I discovered that our camera is at the players feet - but it's okay, because the world is all rendered about 1.8 blocks down, so it evens out! :D
I was so looking forwards to this year for so long because I thought we'd spend the whole year making cheesy eyesight jokes. It'll be a laugh, a good fun year.
Now I realize I was naïve. I wasted good years waiting for what turned out to be a bad one.
I guess hindsight is 2020.
Aaand done! 40 new blocks in total, made up of 14 new slabs, 14 new stairs and 12 new walls. :)
2019 spoilers for those still in 2018: the world has ended, send help.
There's two things that bugged me that I can't fix though...
The first is this texture misalignment, how did we let this happen ?! :'(
Unfortunately we will not be able to release Minecraft 1.12 today. Sorry :( The new plan is to aim for Wednesday (7th). We'll let you know!
This doesn't look entirely right, but I don't know enough about fluid physics to argue with it.
I've been playing with water visibility rules again. I think we're going to remove the "night vision" part of it, it looks super spooky now which is pretty neat.
At the end of this year, Adobe are finally ending support for Flash. As much as people are cheering this on (and I don't blame them), I think a lot of people don't realize just how much history will be lost. I don't often do threads, but I'd appreciate if you gave this one a read
Today we have a new friend watching over the Minecraft Java team...
Thanks, ! We'll make sure to water him at least twice a day.
One thing I'd like to clear up on the Microsoft Accounts news: two factor authentication is not a requirement, it is an option.
You should use it tbh, you should use it on every service everywhere it's available, but we aren't forcing it.
If all goes well, we will be releasing Minecraft Java Edition 1.14: The Village & Pillage update on Tuesday. Excited? We sure are! You can already try it early and help us see if there's any scary bugs we've missed!
minecraft.net/article/minecr
I should start a blooper twitter account. In other news, there is no "minecraft:water" blocks in this world - and that's why trees and flowers are taking a bath.
Excuse me, I am interrupting your timeline to tell you something important.
You are cute. I like your face. Is that a new haircut? It looks gorgeous.
Thank you. Your timeline will resume now.
I'm turning 30 on Friday, and to celebrate I'm thinking of doing a Minecraft stream and showing off the world I'm playing in & the projects I'm working on. It's a big deal for me, I'm very anxious so it's not 100%. I'll announce on my Discord soon if there's any change of plans!
We decided to skip doing a snapshot this week so we can put more time into getting the final big Villager feature feeling right. Sorry about that, but I think it'll be worth it next week!
I just removed "minecraft:flowing_water" and "minecraft:flowing_lava". I feel like I've done something so very wrong.
Minecraft is growing a lot this year, and we need people to help us do it! Want to come work for us and help make the world a better place through video games? Check out our latest jobs! Unless noted otherwise, we relocate & you dont need to speak Swedish! jobs.mojang.com
Babybone (3) just turned to me and said "you're a good daddy!"
I have never been so happy before in my life. ❤️
minecraft.net/article/minecr
The first snapshot for 1.14 "Village & Pillage" is here, and oh boy, it's a big one!
I am petitioning to officially rename "Wednesday" into "Snapshotday". Who's with me?
Roses are red, violets are blue. Turtles in minecraft? They're a gift for you.
minecraft.net/article/minecr
I think I've looked into this before. Hypothetically it shouldn't be too hard to write a program that iterates likely seeds for a structure that looks vaguely like this, in an old version. Might take a long time though :(
This guy is good.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, everyone! You're the best tweetlings a bone could ask for ♥️
Another one: when the player is in a bed and lying down, we don't move the camera to the bed. We just move and rotate the whole world to make it be in front of where the camera was last. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good morning, world! We will try to release Minecraft 1.12 today! I'll let you know as soon as it's out!
I have trouble remembering how old I am. It's my birthday today so I have to forget the previous number and start memorising the new one. All that work, a year of effort, gone to waste! Let's stop aging.
For some reason it was cut out of the panel video so here's me re-encacting it:
Q: "What's coming in the next update?"
A: "I can't tell you the theme but unrelated to that it'll have lots and lots of new slabs/stairs/etc. We don't have nearly enough."
I've seen a lot of people confused about this so I hope this clears some things up:
Minecraft Java Edition 1.14 is the entire Village & Pillage update + Taiga/etc. Snapshots will be starting soon!
1.15 is the next unannounced major themed update and not yet in development.
And don't worry, Bees will be coming to Bedrock soon! We're all working hard on making sure that everyone can experience the terrible bee puns together!
Starting the day by being stuck in Mojang's elevator. Today's going to be a good day! :D
To those of you still in 2014, I bring you a message from 2015: Run. They're coming for you. They used the fireworks as disguise. Run now.
Just remembered I had this in storage from the early Mojang days. I never knew what to do with it.
What would you do with a giant portrait of yourself? Would you hang it?

At long last, our Particles are no longer Entities. Basically means they're not memory hogs anymore!
There's apparently a SpaceX launch going on but I'm just distracted by the adorable spooky space ghost.
The minecraft bug tracker is experiencing some bugs, but I've reported it to the minecraft bug tracker bug tracker. It'll be fixed soon!
So that block I'm really excited for... it's one I tried to get into the game a long, long time ago.
Ok ok, I gotta know… When you guys try to imagine a bird - do you all actually see a bird in your mind?
Today I just learnt about Aphantasia, inability to see images in your mind, and by extension - that people actually do picture stuff?! I thought it was just something you say!
The first Minecraft 1.9 snapshot, 15w31a, is available for download! Download it and find out more mojang.com/2015/07/minecr
At first I'm going to be 25%, easing back in. It's going to be weird. But I'm still excited. That's 2 hours a day.
I made a to-do list of tiny quality of life features that would take less than 2hrs to do - nothing more. Things that nagged me as a player. Good way to come back?
I want this!

Today will be the last major snapshot of the year. Spooky!
It'll be a good one though! 🙃
Todays task was to make a build that we'd be happy to snapshot.
Success.
Just in case you missed our super obvious messaging, the first 1.14 snapshot is this Wednesday ;)
We are aiming to get Minecraft 1.9 feature complete at end of this month. Feature complete doesn't mean bug free & ready to release, though!
A hug for anybody who wants it: ~hug~
How are all my favourite tweetlings?
We're aiming to get a snapshot out next Wednesday (July 29th). It's not a guarantee, but we're going to try to make it happen. Be prepared!
Starting Friday at 4pm CET (7am PDT / 10am EDT) I'll be celebrating my 30th birthday by streaming some Minecraft for the first time in 9+ years. I'd absolutely be thrilled for anyone who joins me. I'll be showing off the world I'm playing in!
Twitch & discord link in bio!
<3
Lots of people asking why I won't be going to Minecon. It's because I'll be too busy learning how to use these!
Halfway through the flight, the captain misspoke: "It's about 40 minutes to Stockholm and we have about 10 minutes of fuel". He meant delays
Minecraft 1.12 "The World of Color" is now available to play! minecraft.net/article/world-
Looky here! A snapshot! What could it contain?
