Mojang Mojang Mojang AB ( "gadget") is a Swedish video game developer and publisher founded in May 2009 under the name Mojang Specifications by game programmer Markus Persson, best known for creating the popular independent game "Minecraft", a sandbox game. Mojang's company headquarters is located in Stockholm, Sweden. In September 2014, Microsoft acquired Mojang at a valuation of 2.5 billion USD. Following a paid trip and employment offer from Valve Corporation in early September 2010, Markus Persson founded Mojang alongside Jakob Porsér, with Carl Manneh later brought in as a CEO, as Persson desired to run a self-made independent studio for
Minecraft: Story Mode or themes. Elements of crafting and building were included in the gameplay which are central to "Minecraft". The game includes combat and other action sequences, carried out through both quick time events and more arcade-like controls, such as steering around debris on a road. "Minecraft: Story Mode" takes place in an interpretation of the world of "Minecraft". The main character Jesse is a passionate newbie Minecraft player who sets out on a journey with friends within the world of "Minecraft" to find The Order of the Stone (Gabriel, Ellegaard, Magnus, Soren, Ivor), five legendary adventurers who saved the "Minecraft" world.
