Minecraft creator Markus Persson has said he intends to develop a new game that is similar to his original creation, but will incorporate all the things that fans have been asking for from Minecraft. Markus says he intends to take fan feedback as much as possible into account, and his game will likely be released in early access.
It is noted separately that he is not trying to offend Mojang in any way and believes that the work they have done is beautiful in its own way. At the moment, we have neither a name nor any additional details about the announced "spiritual successor to Minecraft."
I basically announced minecraft 2.

I thought that maybe people ACTUALLY do want me to make another game that's super similar to the first one, and I'm loving working on games again.
I don't super duper care exactly which game I make first (or even if I make more), but I do know…
