Minecraft Plus! is a screensaver application developed by Mojang Studios for April Fools Day 2021. It features many different Minecraft themed screensavers, using block and item textures from the game, inspired by screensavers from old computers. The application is available to download for free and runs on 64 bit Windows 7+ PCs. Alternatively, the application can also be used in a modern browser window.[1][2]
Trivia
- The box art is styled after the box of Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP, a package for the Windows XP operating system, which included things such as desktop themes and screensavers.
- Since "Microsoft Plus!" and "Minecraft" are Microsoft branded IPs, Mojang was able to use both the name, and the style.
- In the HTML code of plus.minecraft.net, there are three comments that read "I definitely wasn’t hired for my webdev skills haha", "What is this? Where are all the libraries? This is never going to work in IE" and "Is that written by hand? Puzzling!".
- In addition, a random splash text is written to the browser console once the screensaver has finished loading.
- The icon for Minecraft Plus! is a Glow Squid, which also appears as an animation before starting the browser version and in one of the screensavers.
