Minecraft reaches user milestone

Notch has revealed another user milestone for Mojang’s Minecraft.

Speaking on Twitter, Markus ‘Notch’ Persson confirmed the game has reached 15 million registered users. The developer then took to his blog to further comment on the news:

One year ago, we started Mojang. Back then, Minecraft had sold between half a million and one million copies, and now we’re up to almost four million copies sold, we’re expanding to two new platforms, and we’re getting good progress done with our new game.

In one month, we’re going to Las Vegas to celebrate the full release of Minecraft with our fans. And we’re getting sued by one of my favorite game developers. We’re officially one year old now, and things are more fun than ever. Thank you, everyone working at Mojang. You may miss morning meetings sometimes, and some of you have horrible taste in music, but I love you all! And, of course, none of this would’ve been possible without the players and the fans, so thank you, person reading this!

There’s more over on his blog, so be sure to give it a read. Minecraft’s 1.9 update is now being worked on by the developer, while Minecraft: Pocket Edition recently saw a launch for Android-powered devices.
