JENS BERGENSTEN'S CREATIVE MIND ON THE MINECRAFT GAME
Jens Peder Bergensten (born 18 May 1979), also known as Jeb, is a Swedish video game programmer and designer. He is best known as the lead designer of Minecraft. In 2013, he, along with Minecraft creator Markus Persson, was named as one of Time's 100 most influential people in the world. As an employee of Mojang Studios, he had been co-developing Minecraft with Persson since 2010, became the lead designer in 2011, and assumed full control in 2014, when Persson left the company after its acquisition.
Bergensten was hired as Mojang's back-end developer for Scrolls (now known as Caller's Bane) in November 2010. It's been less than six years since the lanky redhead began working at Mojang, the game development company behind Minecraft, which was released a year before. Bergensten was hired by Mojang to work on Scrolls. However, during the Christmas holidays, when his colleagues were on vacation, Bergensten added a few features to Minecraft, such as the ability to color wool blocks in the game.
When Mojang's founder, Marcus "Notch" Persson, returned from vacation, he liked what he saw and allowed Bergensten to continue working on Minecraft.
A year later, Mojang held its first Minecraft convention in Las Vegas, and Minecraft was officially complete. Notch relinquished control of the day-to-day operations, and Bergensten took over. Persson and Bergensten were named to Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People" list in 2013, and Bergensten was ranked fifth on Fast Company's "Most Creative People" list in 2015.
