Curious to know, what are you all the most surprised and excited for that was announced at #minecraftlive?
Watching the chat on the livestream for #minecraftlive was super fun. Glad to see all the excitement for our upcoming drops and features!
This was a super fun read. Fantastic article!

Great episode, but for sure the way Boris talks about Claude he for sure thinks itโs alive. (Itโs not)
Mine that I use a lot which doesnโt read as well as it sounds is โa gym, whatโs a gymโฆ. Ohhhh a a gymโ

I know AI can be a hot button issue in game development but this is a super helpful video on how to use copilot in game development.

As a parent of a 10 and 6 year oldโฆ Iโm still tired ๐ and the part about being more efficient, caring more and less at the same time is something only a parent can understand.
One thing I enjoy the most is seeing the community respond to our changelogs, sometimes they are spot on about what we are cooking up, other times they say itโs weird we did a thing not realizing itโs a small piece to a much larger puzzle. Thank you all for being so passionate about #minecraft
Iโm video game industry adjacent ๐
That was an awesome halftime show. The technical prowess to pull that off, showing all the different cultural aspects, and even if you donโt speak the language you could feel the joy. Awesome!
@theverge.com catching up on a few podcasts within a podcast and thought I would share this
Had a fantastic week in Stockholm working with devs on how to get new blocks in the game faster AND how to make it creator friendly. Stockholm was beautiful but Iโm ready to go home ๐ #minecraft
I cannot wait!
Also Iโm more diligent on canceling/rejecting meetings now. I try to make sure I have time for deep work that isnโt chopped up by meetings that end up being status readouts.
I feel this in my bones. What Iโm learning to do is to let some things just burn. I cannot be in all the meetings, fight all the fires, do all the design reviews, etc. if I try I end up doing them all poorly, so I stack rank whatโs on my plate based on impact and ROI and do that.
I finally got around to playing with Godot and Iโm not sure Iโll ever go back to Unity #godot
My degree is in English and I have:
- Led the CNNGo team for connected devices
- Led architecture for Bleacher Report
- Led a team for coauthoring on the Microsoft Word team
- Led a team at AWS for commercial Linux on EC2-
- and now Iโm an engineering manager for Minecraft ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I donโt get why they would target any individual dev. I can safely say that all of us both on the Microsoft side and Mojang AB side who work on Minecraft love the game and the communities around it๐คทโโ๏ธ
Reading that whole thread is wild. The internet is a weird place.
@reckless.bsky.social not even in 2026 yet and some of the predictions you guys made are off (if the deal goes through) ๐

My @frame.work laptop was overheating and the fans were driving me nuts. Any other laptop I probably would have just spent 3k on another one, but with this one I spent 19.99 on some new thermal paste, popped it open, applied it and now it works perfectly. #righttorepair #framework
after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all๐๐พ) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and moreโฆ all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Yikes! Thanks for posting about it. Iโll follow up with the team
My observation is schools and universities in general have done not a great job of prepping graduates to think critically. I think the broad adoption of AI for school age kids is only going to make that worse. Critical thinking skills is the number one thing I look for in a candidate FWIW
From my time at AWS, we did use AWS for everything, but I personally found the customer experience better than our internal tooling.
At Microsoft, atleast on my team, the tooling is the same as our customers except we are on an insider ring, so we dogfood features first
Mine is the nautilus. So excited to explore the oceans!
For those of you tuning in to #MinecraftLive, what are you most excited about?
