Game Developer for Minecraft: Java Edition

About Mojang

Mojang AB is a games studio based in Stockholm, Sweden. Founded in 2010, we're likely most famous for our debut title, Minecraft! Since releasing the game, we've sold enough for it to become the second best-selling game ever, brought the title to every major video game platform, released in nearly every region of the globe, put on the biggest single-video game convention in the world, created an amazing charity and so much more!

Since 2014, we've been a part of Microsoft Studios, known for first-party game franchises such as Halo, Forza and Gears of War. While the acquisition has hugely expanded us as a company, we’ve kept our vision for Minecraft true and been able to release the game on loads more platforms - including, most recently, the new Nintendo Switch!
