Specifically, my favorite tool in Java is hot code swapping in debug mode, meaning I can edit the code while the game is running and immediately see the results in the running game. This is super great for rapid tweaking.

I definitely think 'Minecraft' is a freak thing. There's no way you could replicate it intentionally.

I've been struggling with why are people so mean online. Not everyone, but some people. You see the mean comments; like, they seem like they're written in a bigger font size, almost.

If you build a car, you can only sell it once. If you paint a fence, you only get paid for it once. If you create a piece of software that's essentially free to reproduce, you can keep getting paid over and over perpetually.

If I had intended for 'Minecraft' to end up on consoles, I wouldn't have developed the game in Java. The decision to port the game to consoles came from a combination of player requests, a desire to play around with the brand on different platforms, and some interesting business deals.

I'm not an entrepreneur. I'm not a CEO. I'm a nerdy computer programmer who likes to have opinions on Twitter.

Turns out, what I love doing is making games. Not hyping games or trying to sell a lot of copies. I just want to experiment and develop and think and tinker and tweak.

I have the ability to get code done, but I'm impatient, and it's scrappy as a result. Maybe that helped me with 'Minecraft,' as it came quickly. But, well, at some point, I'd like to actually become a good programmer.

When I was young, we didn't have indie games. We had 'garage developers' or similar terms, who were just small teams making games out of passion.

The only thing I think that is wrong with modern gaming now is the free-to-play stuff on mobile phones. I think it's very cynical and cold and weird.

'Minecraft' certainly became a huge hit, and people are telling me it's changed games. I never meant for it to do either. It's certainly flattering, and to gradually get thrust into some kind of public spotlight is interesting.

Facebook is not a company of grass-roots tech enthusiasts. Facebook is not a game tech company. Facebook has a history of caring about building user numbers, and nothing but building user numbers.

With the creative stuff, I have highs of being very productive and lows of being not productive. I have that in my moods as well.

I used to be really stressed about that: like, how do I follow up on 'Minecraft,' because I have this weird expectation to. But after a while, what I realized I enjoy doing is prototyping and playing with ideas.

I never really had the fun teens of exploring the world because I was sitting at home, learning programming.

The most interesting indie titles always tend to come out of nowhere for me. That's part of the fun for me.

Just make games for yourself and try to have a critical eye to what you do. If you genuinely like the game, there will be other people who like it as well.
