thank you thank you that's really cool we are going to show you around before we do
we have a little surprise for you we have someone waiting for you his name is Jeb that's really cool
oh wow and it's no surprise that star is excited also known as Jeb Jens Bergensten is one of the
original programmers of Minecraft for a gaming fan this is a big deal hi Star hey great to see you
too I really loved your film uh it was really cool to see I think most people really love the the
maze did like it's a really cool idea to have the boats in there thank you I've got some questions
for you can you tell me of any new features we can look forward to well we are a little bit secretive
I can tell you a little bit about the next update that's coming this year we're adding sniffer which
is a new fancy mob which is super cute and we're also adding what we call armor tweaks which is a
way to decorate your armor to make it look fancy What's your favourite animal or mob in Minecraft
I really like the Magma Cube actually do you have any advice for anyone that might want to
be a programmer when they're order try to find tutorials and such on the internet there are a
lot of tools you can use that are free and that you can just try out one good way of learning
programming is take someone else's example and modify it essentially essentially modding and
over time you will get better and better at it some great top tips from the man in the
know next we'll chat to the head of the studios Star let me introduce you to Ulrika hello nice to
see you Star great to have you here in Stockholm what inspires you to create ideas for the game a
lot of the inspiration comes from the community we have around us we have a lot of diversity a
lot of different perspectives and insights so I think bringing all that together it's
what's inspires me to have all this amazing talent here in the studio and see them created together
have you ever got any advice from me my advice is to follow your passion and believe in yourself
and just enjoy yourself what age did you start programming so I didn't stop programming until
I was 18 I always loved math so that's why I started to explore that program what did you
think of my design I love the maze and I love the room with all the animals and of course I
love the roller coaster as well so I think your your world was really really nice thank you
