Talk:Easter eggs/Archive 1

Notch mentions easter egg?
So, in his livestream, just before he started playing HL2, Notch mentioned an easter egg in MC. http://da.twitch.tv/notch/b/307511278 at 2:21:52. I guess this might be interesting to the wiki?

"Buttershoes"
When this article was first written, it had SkyDoesMinecraft. It then got changed to SeaNanners, and then reverted to SkyDoesMinecraft, and finally removed. This is either an actual reference to a Youtuber or just plain Pirate speak where someone from Mojang blurted out Buttershoes and actually isn't an easter egg.

Before that section is touched again, research must be accomplished throughout these two Youtubers' channels or some kind of reference from Mojang or another place proving where "Buttershoes" came from. 06:58, 16 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Remember that the language translations are created by users on crowdin.net, not by Mojang, so 'buttershoes' was probably added by one of those Youtubers and/or their fans. Unless some connection to Mojang can be established (e.g., evidence that Jeb had submitted that translation), this is just personal advertising, and I don't see a need to have it in the article. I'm more tolerant of the Croatian Morse code, since there's no advertising aspect to it. -- Orthotope 07:40, 16 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually, that makes sense. Going through SkyDoesMinecraft, it seems he does have a running butter joke when it comes to gold and gold items, but I've only seen him refer to the boots as "butter boots", not shoes. Either way, if Mojang was not behind the Pirate speak and that was only included as a joke when crowdin did all the other languages, it really isn't an easter egg and just something fun from a fan that happens to be in Minecraft.


 * Also, as I was searching the web, I have seen many references to gold being likened to butter, and I don't believe it was even started by Sky, unless someone comes up with dates. I'm just going to remove that section, but keep a wikinote there (even though people never read them or just don't care).  23:15, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Mincecraft
The article says that Mincecraft is no longer shown...I don't know...a few days ago, on Minecraft 1.4.7, I saw "Mincecraft!" on the splash screen. I thought it was a typo or something but apparently was (is) an Easter egg...sorry, I don't know how to replicate this. 70.196.37.246 03:15, 8 February 2013 (UTC) (not sure what that'd do since I have not an account)


 * You may have simply seen the splash Minecraft! wrong. As for the article, it is talking about the actual rearranging of the 'E' and 'C' in the title, not the splash. I have checked the splash.txt file in 1.4.7 and 13w04a (the last weekly I downloaded) and there is no Minceraft! splash. What version did you see this on?  04:31, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
