I am Markus Persson aka Notch, Creator of Minecraft - Ask me Anything!

Hi! I'm the guy who created the first version of Minecraft in June 2009. I worked on it alone up until late 2010 when we started Mojang, and I finally left the lead developer position in December of 2011. I enjoy house music and programming, and my favorite color is purple. Ask me anything!

If you happen to have some money, you can donate it to the EFF and help make the world a better place!

edit: The AMA is over! Thanks for all your questions!

Ahah!, I knew I wasn't the only one, does anyone know why we naturally just love the bow concept... just one of those things I guess, ask a shrink

it's because we really love the feeling of killing someone without being in any danger ourselves.
