Notch no longer Minecraft lead developer
The indie darling will now be headed up by Jens Bergensten who has taken the role of lead developer. “He will have the final say in all design decisions, so he will kinda sorta become my boss, I guess,” Persson write on his Tumblr.
“I’ve promised him to not pull rank. ;)”
The pair has worked on the game for a year, Persson further notes, saying: “I’m amazed at how much in synch we two are when it comes to how to design the game.” So there’s little to worry about, it seems.
“And when we don’t agree, we discuss it and something much better comes out at a result. He’s truly a great person to work with, and I feel very confident handing over the leadership of Minecraft to him.”
What of Notch then? “I will now rest for a while, then get back to work refreshed and eager. I’ll be helping out with Minecraft, of course, but also starting work on some new project.”

Notch has said the following:
As of yesterday, Jens Bergensten is the new lead developer on Minecraft. He will have the final say in all design decisions, so he will kinda sorta become my boss, I guess. Ive promised him to not pull rank. ;)
Weve been working together on Minecraft for a year now, and Im amazed at how much in synch we two are when it comes to how to design the game. And when we dont agree, we discuss it and something much better comes out at a result. Hes truly a great person to work with, and I feel very confident handing over the leadership of Minecraft to him.
Personally, I will now rest for a while, then get back to work refreshed and eager. Ill be helping out with Minecraft, of course, but also starting work on some new project.
