Notch Makes ‘Minicraft’ in 48 Hours

December 19, 2011 by Lyle Smith

His entry into the LD48 competition.

Markus Persson, the creator of Minecraft, has released his Ludum Dare (LD48) entry in a Tweet earlier today. To no one's surprise, he called it Minicraft.

Yay, I finished my #ld48 game! It's Minicraft, and you can play it here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/ld48/ld22/index.html

The game requires players to explore the world and random dungeons, collect resources, and craft new structures; all for the sake of defeating the evil Air Wizard.

LD48 is a game development competition where participants are given 48 hours to create a game from scratch according to a theme announced at the start of the contest.
