Hope folks enjoyed #MinecraftLive. So pumped that we finally revealed that we are bringing the Sift to Vanilla Minecraft. We have been working so hard to make this a reality and being able to share with the world a new dimension is coming to Vanilla is so exciting!

Every update is awesome but THIS one holds a special place in my heart. It’s an update that leverages a lot of the block tech my team has been working on and one that I personally added the shelf mushroom and wool stairs/slabs to, using said tech.

Normally my team and I work on the platform and building APIs for internal developers and creators but the upcoming drop I help add the wool stairs and slabs to Bedrock, I’m so excited for players to use it and can’t wait to see what you all build! youtu.be/Agmsdgyj_8M?...

A positive thing I have seen as a result of the layoff announcements is how supportive gamers are of the studios that bring them the games they love and play. Thank you for being a great community, I personally don’t take it for granted, and will continue to try and bring great things to Minecraft

Really love seeing the reactions to the wool stairs and slabs. My team has been working hard to make it easier to get new blocks in the game and it’s fun to see that pay off and the community reactions. #MinecraftLive

In the United States the legislative branch doesn’t “report” to the executive branch, so when I get candidates texting me saying they support the leader of their party more than x candidate it doesn’t land the way they hope. It’s the opposite. Regardless of your politics, when voting for candidates

One thing I enjoy the most is seeing the community respond to our changelogs, sometimes they are spot on about what we are cooking up, other times they say it’s weird we did a thing not realizing it’s a small piece to a much larger puzzle. Thank you all for being so passionate about #minecraft

That was an awesome halftime show. The technical prowess to pull that off, showing all the different cultural aspects, and even if you don’t speak the language you could feel the joy. Awesome!

Had a fantastic week in Stockholm working with devs on how to get new blocks in the game faster AND how to make it creator friendly. Stockholm was beautiful but I’m ready to go home 😅 #minecraft

My @frame.work laptop was overheating and the fans were driving me nuts. Any other laptop I probably would have just spent 3k on another one, but with this one I spent 19.99 on some new thermal paste, popped it open, applied it and now it works perfectly. #righttorepair #framework

@frame.work just wanted to say that I continue to love your laptop. I ordered my framework 13 in 2021 and it’s still going strong. I’ve used it for work at AWS, Disney, and Microsoft. Cannot recommend it enough. Keep doing what you’re doing.

I reached out to Mike Collins office multiple times to ask about his stance on pieces of legislation the last few months and the response was “You can’t expect Mr. Collins to have insight on all legislation being voted on” Actually yes I can, it’s his job. This dude is awful for Georgia

I asked on LinkedIn a few weeks back if people would be interested in my insights on my career and a lot of folks said yes, so I started a newsletter called “Why Did They Hire Me”. I’m a little rusty with writing but here is my first post. open.substack.com/pub/brocknee...

Not sure if this happens to others who work on games, but sometimes it’s easy to forget how fun the game you’re working on really is. Had a chance the last few days to play Minecraft just to play it, not to test a thing or verify a bug, but just to play it and what a delight it was

I called Mike Collins’ office to ask about the IMLS funding being cut and the guy answering the phone said he couldn’t provide any information on such a niche issue. How are libraries niche?

What if DeepSeek is so good because it’s not AI but actually a bunch of people in a data center responding to questions and the reason it lets you know its reasoning for the answer is to buy time.
