In 2009, independent video game designer Markus "Notch" Persson released a work in progress that would go on to break every industry rule for achieving success. Part exploratory adventure, part creative building tool, "Minecraft" evolved from a cult classic into an unprecedented hit, raking daily sales in by the thousands. By the end of 2010, Notch was able to quit his day job and live the dream of founding his own development studio, Mojang.
This feature-length documentary follows the young company over the course of its first year as their profile expands across the world stage and into the homes of millions of gamers. Featuring insights from industry icons (Peter Molyneux, Tim Schafer), journalists (Geoff Keighley, Stephen Totilo), tastemakers (Gabe & Tycho of Penny Arcade), and players profoundly impacted by the game (Yogscast, The Shaft, Minecraft Teacher), the film serves as a time capsule for one of this generation's most unorthodox success stories.
Minecraft: The Story of Mojang is the second feature from game culture archivists 2 Player Productions (Reformat the Planet, Penny Arcade: The Series - Season 1, Double Fine Adventure!). Funded through crowdsourcing site Kickstarter.com, the production spanned nearly two years in locations across North America and Europe.

"Now it should work! It's not working.. Why?" Probably the most used sentence by any programmer
-
even notch has unlicensed version
-
The three stages of a programmer: - "It would be a good idea to..." - "Now why isn't that working..." - "Okay no that wasn't a good idea." Bonus 4th stage: - "Yep. That crashed it."
-
3:18 The explosion was so powerful it even kills you in creative mode, nice.
-
Every programmer: "It's not working. But how?" "It works! But how?"
-
“We need to have exploding arrows in the game” cries in full release
-
Notch is such a legend, he’s programming Minecraft with a letterless keyboard
-
3:34 just love how the guy walking across looks like he's been coding for 9 days without sleep.
-
“We need to have exploding arrows” Y e s p l e a s e
-
"... and i'm not entirely sure why" The life of a coder, summed up in a single sentence.
-
Notch added more to Minecraft in 4 minutes than modern Mojang adds in a year
-
I love how Notch is having tons of fun and laughing while debugging and Jeb is just like: 😒
-
2018 and still waiting for exploding arrows
-
Notch is such a legend, he didn't even open stack overflow through the video
-
Anyone else find this deeply comforting and nostalgic? It's so humble and unassuming, noone could know it would become the best selling game of all time.
-
i like how he's coding minecraft. the keyboard clicking is satisfying
-
2:33 "There we go, it should do something now, wow it didn't, why?... weird. Let's do this instead, okay that worked... yep, it crashed." - Every programmer ever at some point
-
He’s literally the creator of the game that defined a generation. Thank you Notch for the memories
-
Notch is as humble as he sounds. I used to play Wurm some 20 years back when he was just starting out as a dev. He would come hang out with everyone (there were maybe 50-100 active people) and just have a good time and chat on daily basis - he was incredibly appreciative of even the small number of people playing his game. I'm so happy for all of his success after that with Minecraft. Shoutout from Whosville!

His smile when he is saying "It is very effecient"
