Who Is Minecraft's Jeb?

The person who was chosen to take Notchs beloved throne as the lead developer and designer ofMinecraftwas Jens Bergensten.

Jens Bergensten was born on May 18th, 1979.

Like Markus Notch Persson (creator ofMinecraftand Mojang), when Jeb was very young, he began programming.

In 1990, when Jens Bergensten was eleven years old, he began programming his first video games.

These video games were created with Turbo Pascal and BASIC.

Ten years later, Jeb began modding and creating levels for theQuake III Arenavideo game.

While studying at Malmo University in 2008, Jeb founded Oxeye Game Studio alongside two of his friends.

Jeb began working for Mojang in late 2010 as a backend developer for the video gameScrolls.

He has also been credited with adding Redstone Repeaters to the game.

With Jeb adding many significant features toMinecraft, the game has changed massively (arguably for the better).

Adding Redstone Repeaters to the game allowed for many new inventions to be created throughMinecraft.

This update has been empowering players to create new inventions since its release.

Redstone Repeaters are responsible for almost all basic Redstone creations working the way they do.

This update gaveMinecrafta more technical side that was once unimaginable without the use of modifications to the game.

This easter egg was added in 2013 as a fun way to show what Minecraftis capable of.

To perform this secret in Minecraft, players must name a sheep jeb_ using a nametag and anvil.

Jens Bergenstens takeover ofMinecraftwas very controversial at the beginning of his newly appointed position.

Many fans were immediately displeased with the quick change of leadership without much warning.
