Jeb is awesome. This is going to be a godsend.
And a message to Mojang:
You made 15 MILLION dollars on Minecraft. Please put some of it to good use and hire a few more programmers.Maybe you could make people send in applications over the forums? I know a lot of mod developers would love to work at Mojang.
He chose to do this, nothing will make him change his mind as he was not requested of this.
Also, while Notch is awesome and created Minecraft, Jeb is still cool. No reason to start a flame war on either guys.
Just to remind you guys of what eash these guys did.
Notch= Made Minecraft, added Ender stuff, added achievements, and new combat stuff.
Jeb= Added wolves, weather, planning to add API, probably more stuff to come. *COUGH Dungeons and Levers*

Yes, hopefully he will add more... *COUGH CTF mode* *COUGH Villager AI*
And he'd better add overworld dragons and a sky dimension. :angry.gif:
I wont lie, i was a bit skeptical about this whole thing i thought notch as it was, was not that great of a developer i have high hopes for you jeb! i believe jeb is taking a step in the right direction as for working on the modding api didn't seem like notch really cared towards the end there :/
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
The Trivial Sublime. I like to turn off time and kill my mind.
What is WITH all these idiots saying "rip Minecraft" and stuff like that? You must be stupid to realise Jeb_ wouldn't remove any good things. It's going to get good for once, are you not happy? Mushroom cows? I hope Jeb_ gets some good ideas!
well i dont know about u guys but nocth is still the minecraft god in my opinion jeb will be a great new assitance just hope that he dosent get rid of anything but adds more may nocth be forever remebered
R.I.P nothing cuase minecraft still is beast
Notch needs to spread his wings guys so him stepping to the side yet still having a foot in minecraft just gives him time to do other projects he has been wanting to do. Who knows he might have a better game than minecraft in his head and if he don't spread his wings to work on those projects he will never get it done.
This was a good idea on his part so he can work on other goals he has. Grats Jeb on the promotion and hope to see some more cool stuff from you Notch.As far as Notch not being fully there at the end of minecraft is't because the man has more than just minecraft going on in his head and other projects he is eager to work on.
Man if notch leaves what'll happen??? TOTAL AMAZINGNESS THATS WHAT!!! jk jk jk but yeah notch...he rly needed to add stuff that was worthwhile and not gay like mooshrooms and mushroom island...okay sure it was fun for a day...
You DO realize that the two of them worked together, and generally discussed and had to agree on new features BEFORE they went into the game, right?
Chances are, Notch didnt just stick mushroom cows in when Jeb wasnt looking. He would have brought it up and Jeb would have AGREED to it.
The mushroom cows probably took all of an hour to program, if that, and were just added for fun. Really, I wish more game devs did things that way; adding things just for fun every now and then instead of having to be super-serious about every little step.
I'm hoping that the two of them continue to develop in exactly the way they have been, and it sounds like that's going to mostly be the case.

I agree. The guy seems to genuinely enjoy coding, but coding ONLY Minecraft could burn him out a bit. If this gives him a chance to work on other things in stead of JUST Minecraft, the end result is a happier coder/designer, and that means more cool stuff coming from him.
Know what? I'm glad. God bless Notch, but I don't think he has the focus to develop Minecraft anymore for the direction he took it. He half-finishes things too much, whereas Jeb really gets the job complete.

He would of had to agree with it, Notch is the boss and gets the final decisions, Jeb didn't want to add dragons and yet they're in the game.
and now he isn't god!
Witch means...JEB IS GOD!
...I still think notch is god.
