On January 1, Notch shared an open invitation for feedback on his next potential project. His current work involves a roguelike, tile-based, first-person dungeon crawler—a stark departure from Minecraft’s creative sandbox roots. However, he openly asked fans if they would prefer something more in line with Minecraft . His exact words, “I’d take that cash,” revealed a humorous but earnest willingness to revisit the genre that made him a gaming legend.
In a follow-up post, Notch clarified he wouldn’t simply replicate Minecraft , citing legal reasons and respect for Mojang Studios, which continues to develop the original game under Microsoft. Instead, he proposed creating a “new original game of the same type” and labeled it a “spiritual successor.” Fans have since debated whether such a project could live up to Minecraft’s legacy, with some expressing skepticism and others enthusiastically supporting the idea.
Notch’s current project, tentatively titled Levers and Chests , offers a more niche gameplay experience, focusing on retro-inspired mechanics. While it may lack the universal appeal of a sandbox game, it demonstrates Notch’s passion for experimenting with new ideas. Regardless of the direction he chooses, his willingness to engage openly with fans is refreshing in an industry often shrouded in secrecy.
Whether it’s a continuation of Minecraft’s spirit or something entirely new, Notch’s return to game development promises to be worth watching. The gaming world is buzzing with possibilities, and fans are eager to see if the magic of Minecraft can strike again. What do you think? Is it time for another sandbox epic, or should Notch follow his creative instincts? Let the conversation continue!
