Nathan Adams

2010 Indie of the Year Awards

Nathan 'Dinnerbone' Adams is a game developer at Mojang AB who worked on Minecraft, Minecraft: Pocket Edition, and its launcher. A member of the Bukkit team, Adams was hired by Mojang on 28 February 2012 to develop the mod API. His first day at the Mojang office was 27 March 2012, shortly before the first development snapshots for version 1.3.1.

A common trope attributed to Dinnerbone is that he is commonly displayed as being upside-down. His Twitter avatar is flipped and his user model, as well as any mob named "Dinnerbone", will be rendered upside-down.

In October 2015 he announced that he would be "taking a break from Minecraft PC development for a few months." Later, in February 2016, he further elaborated that though he would continue on other projects at Mojang, he had left the Minecraft team. During this time, he worked on the 2017 native launcher. On February 6, 2017, Dinnerbone confirmed he had rejoined the Minecraft team.
