Minecraft now no longer references Notch after its latest update. Markus
Minecraft may not be under Markus “Notch” Persson’s wing anymore after selling it to Microsoft and Mojang, but he is still credited on the game’s splash screen. Well, he was. After some digging, people discovered that a new update has removed Notch’s handle from the splash screen from some versions of the game.
Twitter user decrepitlab noticed the removal earlier today. On the wiki page for the Java version, it lists that it has “removed splashes referencing Notch” including the “Made by Notch!”,”The Work of Notch!”, and “110813!” from the splash screen. The number is a reference to when Notch married his ex-wife Elin Zetterstrand on August 13,2011.
