The species 'Notch'

A Notch is the only Minecraft programmer in existence (at the moment), 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.
