On this day 10 years ago, Microsoft acquired #Minecraft developer Mojang for US$2.5 billion.

In a blog post announcing the purchase, Owen Jones wrote: "Everything is going to be OK. <3"

Ten years later, Mojang now has been part of Microsoft almost twice as long as it has been independent.
It's interesting to look back at the original announcement video from Xbox as well:

Game theorists, start placing your bets on which features of this April Fools snapshot may eventually make it into an actual game experience (in some shape or form, preferably with potato parts peeled off).
April Fools snapshots were always a great testbed for future additions to #Minecraft and allow developers to experiment with wild and rough ideas in safe environment while quietly observing player feedback.
A new #Minecraft snapshot 24w14potato appeared, adding an entire new dimension, blocks, mobs, paintings and many more. All of them, poisonous π₯ themed.
Are poisonous potatoes the best Minecraft food? Who exactly is Potatolord of the Fried Legion? We may or may not learn answers to these questions with this very snapshot.
As usual, check out #MinecraftWiki page covering the snapshot, updated as we learn more at https://minceraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_24w14potato
Today's #Minecraft snapshot 24w11a brings tons of new 1.21 features!
π¨ The mace is a new weapon you can use to inflict great damage from falling! It's crafted using the new breeze rod and heavy core.

πΊ Three new pottery sherds, two new armor trims, and two new banner patterns can now be found in the trial chambers!
