Yeah, I could tell from notch's tweets that he was losing interest in developing Minecraft, but I'm glad that Jeb is taking over because he seems like such a practical person.
All the same though, I'm still gonna yell "DAMMIT NOTCH!" whenever a bug messes me up, it just rolls off the tongue so much easier than "DAMMIT JEB!".
I feel that we have a lost a part of Minecraft :sad.gif:
I hope Jeb doesn't totally change the style of Minecraft.
Oh my gosh. I have heard so many posts like this (specifically about Dragons...). Jeb knows what he's doing. It's not like he'd wreck a game he helped make. Jeb listens to what people have to say. For people that don't believe that, Proof: He mostly is the one who put pistons into Minecraft (right?). We know what the game is. He does to. Jeb will try his best, and that is all he can do.
I think I get this now. Notch has brought minecraft just where he wanted it, now he can give leadership to Jeb, and work on some other stuff, like scrolls. But I still don't think he should have fully stepped down. Just put Jeb in charge, without really having to say anything. But still, thank you Notch. I appreciate what you have created. It will never be the same without you!Yeah, I believe. I think that he just isn't gonna be developing Minecraft anymore. Just things like Scrolls.
Good decisions. I'd still hire another programmer though. At least get the basics down of what you want the game to be and let others mod the rest. Its still missing a lot of core features to make this a complete game.
I guess he must have caught wind that jeb might leave soon and has been getting offers ..
Cash-in with the game which will be the biggest success in your career, then leave the whole community hanging and "move on" to other projects... Minecraft is not over though. With Jeb it will be bigger than ever!

Ugh, people are being totally irrational, JUST because notch doesn't want to be the lead programmer anymore doesn't mean he gave control of Mojäng (fun fact, its pronounced "moyang") to Jeb, NOR does it mean notch will no longer have creative input in minecraft, does anyone know what the hell a "lead developer" is? seriously...
ALSO, Jeb is an excellent programmer, He made pistons and redstone repeaters, which is by far one of my favorite things in minecraft, and anyone who thinks notch would let Jeb remove any of the things notch put in (besides mooshrooms, those are fkin retarded) they're crazy, i heard one person say Jeb will remove dragons, ********! do you understand how hard it is to model something as complex as the enderdragon?
several people have said NOT PLAYING MINECRAFT ANYMORE, your telling me just cuz the owner doesn't want to work on it its awful, horrible, and will be destroyed?

I kinda did. He has done most of the interviews/statements/reports/stuff in the news and much of the development.
No
Isn't this old news? I thought this happened after MineCon.
At any given moment those red pixels could be either polkadots or hearts.

Good luck Jeb, please take out mooshrooms.
