MemberIt was brewing for a while, but now it official Mojang sold out to Microsoft. On the plus side it might mean that they finally start selling Minecraft on Steam. On the minus side we can kiss the Linux version goodbye as soon as they recode it to c++ and drop Opengl.

KeymasterEh, I think they will leave it alone for then most part.
Minecraft is part recruiting tool, part getting kids to think of MS as a “cool” company to work for in the future.

MemberThat just means that Bukkit somehow got to microsoft………they have been trying to work closely with Mojang to create a plugable mod system that wouldn’t break after every update.

MemberOh I found the reason https://storify.com/lukegb/the-tale-of- … ecraft-1-8 . It does belong to Mojang. So Mojang has taken Possesion of Bukkit of which they had bought over 2 years ago. Gonna be interesting to see if it get’s put back out to the community to keep it developing or just bring it in house and add it to the mainstream code.
