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.

Jeb makes a serious suggestion about implementing a scarecrow Notch makes a joke about Snowmen throwing snowballs Still no sign of scarecrows, but we have snowmen throwing snowballs
-
How about a snowman that throws snowballs? *added snow golems

Time goes by, and things change. I don't hate the new minecraft updates, but these videos really make you look back at a simpler time. Just you, maybe some friends. And a small, more limited world to explore. Even though you can still play the old versions. Seeing these videos really brings back memories
-
i felt very sad when notch sold mojang
-
2021, I miss the old minecraft so much, even though the new versions are pretty okay, the old ones pre 2014 were the best. I miss Markus Persson (Notch)
-
I like how he jokes about,"having Snowmen that throw snowballs" and yet, what did they do? haha Awesome
-
It's funny, I am watching this again in 2018. To realize that coral was a suggestion since 2011 and is now being added into the new 1.13 update. More so it's funny how people talk about first person shooters and so forth... when in all honesty minecraft can be a first person shooter it can be anything you want it to be... that is what makes it one of the greatest games ever made.

Jeb has amazing hair!
-
These types of documentaries are so inspiring!
-
This is really emotional if you have been playing minecraft for long. Minecraft - 2009 ( I buy it ) 2011 Beta,Alpha etc 2015 Notch Leaves Those days with the secret friday updates and wow. Mojang without Notch isnt Mojang I know alot of you will post in the comments "noob, lol, emotional" But if you were playing it and saw all these big changes then you would feel emotional too. Minecraft was meant to die one day.. And theres microsoft there to do it. They probably will want to make it an exclusive xbox 360 game and im sure thats not what notch wanted.

-
great work on this video thou i don't know why the end reminded me so much of a documentary or a movie with the sad news in the end
-
A very well put together and highly interesting documentary! I will most certainly donate to the cause for a Feature-Length documentary, great work chaps!
-
this game is the best game in the world
-
This is not just a game, this is not just a game company, this is their life. Their love by their job really touched me. I am a programming/game development student, and their story inspires me and motivates me!
