The species 'notch'
A Notch is one of the Minerz (Minecraftian) programmers, Awesome people, beard growers, and gamers who programmed and created wide areas of Infdev from the late twentieth to the early twenty-first century. These Minermen used their famed keyboards to travel as far east as Java and the Flash in king.com, and as far west as C++, Lua, and HTML. This period of Notch expansion – known as the Notch Age – forms a major part of the Modern history of Minecraftia, Imageboardia, Indiea and the rest of the Internet in general.
