Big Minecraft fan. Developer working on Minecraft. Ask me about Realms 😁

Obvious scam, don't give away your Minecraft account. Signs: -Email address not from one of our domains -Overly detailed texture -Inconsistent language (Minecon Live vs Minecon in-person, Special Cape is different) -Offered to players from up to 15 years ago without obvious marketing benefit

We're updating how uploads and downloads work on Bedrock and Java Realms to make them faster and more reliable, including with really big worlds.😁 The new "Upload V2" feature is available in today's Bedrock Preview. Status text of what's going on, faster, and more reliable! 😎

Fun fact, I kinda sorta art directed this one? The original was one of our spare Dungeons II concepts, a Sift-like cape. I held onto it for a while, gave additional feedback, and two more Minecraft artists worked on the cape and wings. I think I named it too, it’s been “aurora” for a while.

We'll be upgrading how Realm uploads and downloads work! 😁 Faster, more reliable, and better handling of big worlds for Bedrock and Java The first step is in today's 26.60.29 Preview where you can try out the improved world downloads. Try it out and let me know what you think

Dungeons II launch party tonight. They had the Gamescom demo going, where you play from entering the Deep Dark to beating the Twisted Warden. 12 minute demo, my team beat it with 3 minutes left. The winners? 4 designers with 7:54 remaining. 😮 Anyone want to try to beat that in a few days? 😁

Packaging some items for a charity event this year. Some very old and rare things here! That pickaxe makes good on a promise I made to the dev team in 2011, before I worked at Mojang, that all items they signed would go to charity. The last one just took a while! Stay tuned for how to obtain one!

Bedrock Realms sneak peek 👀 In 26.60, we're adding a brand new "Invite Realm members" screen. Now you can just type in the name of the player you want to add and invite them with a single click! It also will show you people you've played with recently and your followers.

The new "Invite Members to Realm" screen with an Ore UI interface. It shows searching for the player "Minecraft", and them listed with "Request sent" and a toast at the bottom of the screen showing "Realm Invite Sent".

It's getting cooler around here, and I hear Pumpkin Spice is back. Yuck! A more appetizing option might be these 1070 iOS Minecraft Preview slots we opened up today! As always, these can be found for a limited time at aka.ms/PreviewApple. See you next month!
