Mojang Studios

Mojang Studios, sometimes known as Mojang AB, is a Stockholm, Sweden-based video game developer that was founded by Markus Persson in 2009.

Mojang is best known as the creator of the sandbox game Minecraft, which lets players survive, explore, and build in open, blocky worlds. Soon after launch, Minecraft became one of the most popular games, with millions of people playing it across the globe.

Initially, Mojang Studios was an independent and very small studio that became a global phenomenon following the success of Minecraft. It was not long before the game produced versions for several platforms, including mobile devices, consoles, and PC.

The company has continued to provide new tools, features, and content to encourage community building and creativity.

The company was acquired for $2.5 billion by Microsoft in 2014. However, the studio continued developing Minecraft in addition to publishing spin-off projects such as the dungeon crawler game Minecraft Dungeons. The studio has also produced the strategy action game Minecraft Legends.

Mojang supports a large community of creators and players and encourages custom content, mods, and educational uses of Minecraft. Teachers have also used the game to teach subjects such as teamwork, coding, and history. Mojang has also connected with fans through events such as Minecraft Live.

Ever since it became part of the Microsoft stable, Mojang Studios has become a key cog of its gaming division. With a focus on constant updates, community, and creativity, it continues to shape the future of Minecraft, even as it works on other projects.

In 2017, Mojang Studios published Minecraft: Medieval Fortress, a construction guide that teaches readers how to build and design their own medieval worlds inside the game of Minecraft.

The work teaches fans how to create every section of a strong fortress, from the towers to the thick walls, the bustling villages, and the creepy dungeons. Every build includes a colorful exploded view to show how the parts connect and where each block goes.

The work also comes with a large fold-out image to showcase the full scale, extra building tips, and fun medieval facts.

In 2025, Mojang Studios published Minecraft Running Hot and Cold.

The work follows Harper and friends on their adventure when the Evoker King turns into the Evoker Kid. With the Ender Dragon war on the horizon, Harper decides to take things into his hands. However, they are dealing with overwhelming odds and an uncertain future.

Majon emphasizes the excitement of discovering what is around the corner, teamwork, and tough choices.

Mojang Studios’ Minecraft: The Survivors’ Book of Secrets shares the ancient hidden knowledge of several expert players from the game's earliest days.

It teaches how to build creative defenses, stock gear, and smart bases. It also shows how to handle combat, craft useful weapons and tools, and track enemies out in the wild.
