Hello I’m a BX toy cat welcome back to another history of video I recently went through the history of notching a video and a lot of people were really surprised to find out the notch hasn’t been developing minecraft since 2011 and I figured it would be cool to go through The history of the guy who’s been lead developing minecraft since that time then not so many people are familiar with and that is of course Jeb so this is gonna be the history of Jeb and if you do like video please do like and let me know because it helps out the channel And lets me we’ll see more history up videos but let’s get straight into already shall we so we’re as with any story it really kind of starts when the person is born and he was born in 1979 which makes him 36 as of this video in all bro Sweden and the really Interesting thing about this to me is the fact that this is literally just two weeks before not just one that’s right there’s only two weeks but for between the Deaf burps of a notch and of Jeff and they’re really similar guys in a lot of ways but they also have quite a few Differences that you might find interesting we go along here so his full name is yen’s Berg instead and just like not she started programming at a very early age when he was just 11 he traced his first game which is absolutely crazy when you think about it and along the Same line of for when he was 21 he was already modding you know games and making custom maps particularly for quake free arena and this is really cool to me as an early pop what he did because you know minecraft is a game which is built on people making their Own content and that’s something he really believes in and it’s something he did for a few years back then and yeah I thought that’s quite cool and along the same lines have been quite cool confluence this later on career thing he actually in his first job did C++ and Java development for a blooming entertainment so unfortunate they didn’t don’t exist anymore because they did go bankrupt and as a result this he decided to go to Maui University and get himself a computer science master’s and while he was doing that he founded an indie game studio called oxide games with a couple Of friends and this studio is probably not one you’ve heard of but it is reasonably successful because uh two of its games have managed to make its way to steam which is a reasonable board entry and one of these are the first one he worked on was Ashley called harvest Massive encounter so I looked at this game so I was like I’m really curious what was one of the first games Jeb himself released and yeah I look at the game plan I’m just like I don’t even know what’s going on screen right now and you could look at it for a little Bit and see if you can work out but it is a real-time strategy game it looks like it’s kind of got a bit of tower defence element in there and yeah it’s kind of cool like that so obviously us since then he worked on a few other games but interestingly because of His work with oxide games offering at his masters he did a bunch of game jams and he’s explained this story himself as to how he actually met not because he went to so many of these game jams you know make games in a certain amount of time uh also someone who liked doing This was not so at quite a few of these games there are gems apparently one in Malmo one in Cambridge and one in Berlin he actually you know bumped into knots and started talking and this is how the two unit became somewhat friends slash acquaintances and as a result of this You know when Mojang we’re looking for you know someone to do some Scrolls of lemon because they you know minecraft would become a massive success in 2009-2010 so when they started creating scrolls they needed more developers and one the guys are they decide to hire was Jeb’s so they’re really cool thing to me about how they hired ship was the way knots aside to announce it and it was with this tweet right here which does make me laugh like oh yeah let’s say your nan ship and you know hi people and Yeah as a resolved that you know Jeb was a part Mojang but he was working on Scrolls so while he was just working at Mojang in general a lot of the features from the beta which it considers big some of the cooler features in minecraft like the wolf’s like the Pistons like The villages like never fortress all these features that came out in that beta period minecraft actually came from Jeb and presumably he just slowly started working more and more on this side project until eventually when the full release of minecraft came nos decide to step down as lead developer of Minecraft and he named Jeb as his successor because he decided that Jeb was one of the best people to lead this game and that’s why you know Jeb is the lead developer of Minecraft now and has been since 2011 that’s right but almost four years now Jeb has been in charge That whole thing and it looks like it’s gonna keep him going that way because at the end of 2012 he decided to also take the reins of being the lead developer off the Pocket Edition – so that’s right – of the free editions of Minecraft I’ll lead developed by him obviously he Doesn’t do everything but he does you know kind of coordinate the whole thing make sure he knows that works and yeah a lot of the key minecraft decisions actually do come directly from Jeb so that’s kind of the Jeb minecraft story he just kind of had his own thing and Then accidentally kind of ran into not she decided he wanted him on his stuff and then he started working on Minecraft then he started being good at that and now he’s deadly developer the game I think it’s kind of a cool story especially given how similar the two Guys are in a lot of ways you know given how close they were to birth given how much they both love programming and that yeah I think Jeb is one of the better guys to eat my crab woman cuz he’s quite cool like that but but before we end the Video I always go through some of the fun facts I found one I was researching elasaur stuff because I thought a lot of it was quite cool so first of all during a you know early 2012 at Jeb didn’t AMA about you know a bunch of different stuff and a lot of The questions on this but really really interesting to me first of all he said that he promised their you know horses to a friend and they were eventually coming and I like not she promised a bunch of features and then obviously never all came horses did come even Though it was like close to two years later he did eventually follow prove that so unlike you know all of the list that they’re you know not features that we have you know some of the stuff that Jeb says he clearly does eventually impair tend to put in there which I do Think is quite cool because he also mentioned how I wanted to expand both the existing dimensions then this 1.9 update we’ve got that so even though he said all this stuff years ago I think it’s kind of interesting and he did mention the red dragon in there Somewhere so you know Jeb if he follows his word which he has been doing even though stagnant for years red dragons will be a thing in Minecraft which sounds pretty cool if you ask me but besides that um also while Tron for reddit it turns out he’s a very big you Know part of the atheism community and when asked you know what the biggest in Vantaa the biggest and thoughts and mankind is about to make and it was kind of for questionable one because he’s a very strong atheist and he says the continuous effort to give up on religion And focus on what’s real Jeff was like wow that’s kind of crazy but also I just kind of ended a happy note than that he married his current wife in 2013 her name is Jenny Bergen stur Bergen stem which i think is kind of cute because It’s Jen’s and Jenny but also when he was asked if he was bothered about Minecraft being known as not just thing despite you know not ship only been doing the first two years versus genders for he said he’s not bothered at all he says that he’s very happy got the chance And I think that’s a pretty cool ask you to have towards the whole thing so yeah that is Jen’s Bergen stunts or Jeb his full history hope you did or enjoy if you did like video please do like it and let me know share here we like to and Subscribe if you’re new around here I make videos like this every
