Mojang Specifications logo

Mojang AB (literally means "Gadget") is the indie joint-stock company behind Minecraft. Currently run by Notch, Mojang has 7 employees, and more potential ones.
Mojang currently owns an office (as said by Notch) "on åsögatan on södermalm, and it's got piles of personality!". Photos of the office can be found on http://carl.jalbum.net/Mojang-HQ-in-the-making/.
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]
