Mojang Blizzard

The M Team, working hard to deliver YOU games.

Mojang Specifications (literally means "Gadget Specifications") is the indie company behind Minecraft. Currently run by Notch, Mojang has 6 employees, and more potential ones.
Mojang Specifications currently owns an office (as said by Notch) "on åsögatan on södermalm, and it's got piles of personality!"
Mojang is also working right now on another game side by side with Minecraft. Not much is known about it yet, but it is said to have something to do with board game like strategy. [1]
