You're clear. They think you made a game called "Mindcraft" :) Unfortunately these guys are ambulance chasers and it's $ to defend :(

ALL patents are evil. Nothing special about software. Trust me-I'm a patent lawyer ;) see resources at c4sif.org/resources/

In the patent PDF, they say “Mindcraft” infringes something. I don’t recall your game called “Mindcraft”.

Everybody should always develop software using techniques that are patented by someone else. All the time. It's called COURT DDOS

The patent infringement is talking about "Mindcraft" not "Minecraft" must have sent it to the wrong Mojang.
