Minecraft: The Story of Mojang

Minecraft: The Story of Mojang is a 2012 documentary film produced by 2 Player Productions and directed by Paul Owens. It is about the first year of Mojang, the development company founded by game designer Markus "Notch" Persson, and the development and release of Persson's game Minecraft. The film features interviews with prominent game designers affected by Minecraft, popular online figures associated with the game, and segments with fans and community members. Established by their documentary Reformat the Planet (2008) and work with Penny Arcade, 2 Player Productions had originally wanted to create a series of pilot episodes about various video games, but instead decided to create a full-length film on Minecraft. Announced in January 2011, the production was funded through a Kickstarter campaign grossing over US$210,000, one of the platform's biggest campaigns at the time.
