Does Jeb Still Work On Minecraft


Does Jeb Still Work On Minecraft?

In the world of video games, few franchises have been as successful as the immensely popular building game, Minecraft. With millions of players, the game has become an industry sensation.

Created in 2009, the game was originally created by a Danish programmer by the name of Markus person, however, it was the involvement of Jebediah Bergensten that took Minecraft to the new heights it enjoys today.

But what has Jeb been up to since Minecraft exploded in popularity? Does he still work on the well-known game?

His Involvement in Mojang and Microsoft

Jeb originally signed on to work at the newly formed company Mojang, to work alongside Persson to develop the game. Eventually, Minecraft was released and Jeb’s life changed forever. As the game exploded in popularity, he began to take a much more core role in the development of the game.

His role eventually led to him taking over the lead of the project, as Persson began to focus on other endeavors.

In 2014, Microsoft purchased Mojang, taking over the Minecraft project. With the deal, Jeb stepped away from the development of the game, but remained a part of Microsoft’s team for some years.

What Jeb Is Up To Now

It appears that Jeb has since severed ties with both Mojang and Microsoft. He has a personal website with a blog where he occasionally posts updates on what he is doing.

It appears that, rather than designing and developing a single project like Minecraft, Jeb is now more focused on diversifying what he has to offer potential employers.

He seems to be infatuated with game development, but also does a lot of public speaking on game development, as well as creating a game engine.

Conclusion

So, the answer to the question of whether Jeb still works on Minecraft is no. While he was instrumental in taking the game to the heights it enjoys today, it appears he is no longer a part of its development.

However, it seems that is no reflection on his love of the game or game development in general. He appears to be diving into multiple aspects of game development, as well as producing content and giving back to the community.

Overall it appears Jeb is still very much involved in the video game industry, just in a very different fashion to his days at Mojang.
