What? How on earth did you get that idea? Jeb will not be removing features, his only focus is Mod API which will allow users to download mods easily. After that point, it is up to the mod community to add stuff to Minecraft which is respectable and a very great move by Mojang. You kiddos complain about Minecraft added this or added that. Now you can find a mod to meet any need you have so everybody is happy. Although, I'm sure you kiddos will complain that Jeb or whoever is lazy.
Agree. It is fine, Notch is still most likely helping with design. He just isn't going to be programming it much anymore.
Jeb_ seems a little more level headed than notch at the moment, but I honestly don't care who the lead developer is, as long as there is still development
You people act like Notch is quitting Mojang. Heck, no. Minecraft is in a position now where it can stand on its own, so Notch can work on other projects within Mojang(And still be the big boss with the best hat). He isn't about to completely give up chipping in on MC, either.
Jens has been a strong contributor to the game. I know since I have followed Notch's and his ramblings since I started playing. It will be good to have a good system put down that will help good people contribute good mods to the game, instead of half-ass or malware crap that some have felt the burning desire to do. I am quite content with what I have to tinker with in the game right now, so focusing on the Mod API is a good thing right now. Then we can have so much more to tinker with when we have a stable system of finding safe mods to play with. Player contribution to making Minecraft even better is half of what Minecraft is about, and modding is a good way to show that.

Good Jeb will bring lots to the Game and not be restricted as much. He is doing the right thing with a modding api as well. To those saying that Minecraft is going to fail or Jeb cant do stuff then think again. Most of the big improvements came from him.
It's A scary decision for notch but he will come back in January so no worries and happy birthday to me in January 30.
Good timing :biggrin.gif:.
Maybe Notch will pick Jeb as his successor if he is retiring if he is just okay?

hope you can incorporate some awesome stuff into the game....
Why would that be? Jeb has done tons for the game already, what makes you think it would be worse?
