The Minecraft "store" in seizure mode.

The Locked Chest was a naturally generated block used as the premise of Notch This page has been protected from editing to prevent vandalism. Please discuss changes on the talk page. Markus Persson Real name Markus Alexej Persson Date of birth Jun. 1, 1979 (age 38) 1] Occupation Game developer `s 2011 Apr. Fool`s Day joke. Upon attempting to open the chest, a message would appear stating that a Steve Co. Supply Crate Key is needed, and that one could be purchased at the Minecraft store.

This concept is a reference to the Team Fortress 2 item drop system, where you can pick up an item while playing. One of the receivable items is called Mann Co. Supply Crate, which required a key purchased from the Mann Co. Store, a microtransaction system integrated into the Steam client. The font used in the GUI is also the same as the one used in Team Fortress 2.

Within the Minecraft store, there were many easter eggs:

• Clicking on the proceed to checkout button triggers a screamer in which a Velociraptor from the film Jurassic Park will growl loudly and fly across the screen. Once clicked, the Proceed button also changes its display name to Fiddlesticks!!!1.
• Entering items totaling over $10,000 into the cart causes a window pop-up asking if you are prone to seizures. Clicking OK makes the screen start flashing.
  • Later, the window pop-up said: "If you are prone to seizures, click cancel.". This was done likely to avoid lawsuits because of the rapidly changing color flashes.
• The script that causes the Velociraptor to appear has a reference to the Konami Code in it:

 // Determine Entrance if(options.enterOn == `timer`) {         setTimeout(init, options.delayTime); } else if(options.enterOn == `click`) {         _this.bind(`click`, function(e) {         e.preventDefault();         if(!locked) {                 init();         }         }) } else if(options.enterOn == `konami-code`){     var kkeys = , konami = "38,38,40,40,37,39,37,39,66,65";     $(window).bind("keydown.raptorz", function(e){         kkeys.push( e.keyCode );         if ( kkeys.toString().indexOf( konami ) >= 0 ) {                 init();                 $(window).unbind(`keydown.raptorz`);         }     }, true); 

2013

During 2013, Mojang released a pre-release for a fake future version to various YouTubers.

2014

One of the Villager skins. (At the time this green robed villager was unimplemented)

A post was added to Mojang`s blog for the joke.

In-game, villagers still acted the same, (with their programmed AI) but they made different sounds. Every player`s skin was replaced by a villager skin, complete with the trademark nose. Not all players had the villager skin. Skins varied by player. Other villager noises were implemented in non-villager parts of the game. All noises were replaced with the sound effects of Element Animation`s "T.E.A.V.S.R.P" (The Element Animation Villager Sounds Resource Pack). Mojang also added in-game villager music. The title screen music contains a parody of the Game of Thrones theme, due to the new series starting in early Apr. and also because of its being included in the original trailer for "T.E.A.V.S.R.P" Jeb also claimed the villager got his @@@#@@@Twitter(twitter.com)###@### account.

The skins were reverted to the way they were before on Apr. 2, 2014.

This can be activated by setting your computers date to Apr. 1st 2014.

Grum released the villager skins on reddit on Apr. 1, 2014. There were seven variants, including a base skin.

An updated version of TEAVSRP, complete with the new music, was released by Element Animation on Apr. 2, 2014.

Soon afterward; Element animation released this video.

Now, naming a rabbit with a name tag or a rabbit spawn egg called "Toast" will spawn/switch the rabbit`s skin to look like Toast as a memorial.

deadmau5`s ears

With the capes addition, Notch also added ears for the player deadmau5. The ears are "vanity items and are worn in addition to the player`s skin", with the texture contained within deadmau5`s skin.

deadmau5 cannot disable his ears, as a translucent part of the skin is automatically converted into a black color. His name tag is also programmed to render ten pixels higher to render above the ears.

The ears are set to show up based on the username, rather than the UUID of the player, meaning that if deadmau5 were to change his name, he would not keep his ears.

PC Launcher

This image shows both easter eggs!

On the new Minecraft PC edition launcher there are two easter eggs. The first one can be discovered by hovering your cursor over the "Play" button. This causes a random mob to appear in the bottom right corner of the launcher. The other easter egg can be found in the top left corner of the launcher. If you look closely, you will see a creeper face. Also, there is about a 1/11th chance of getting a shrugging face instead of a creeper face. When you click on the faces, they will light up.

Video Explanations:

Debug profile results (triggered via /debug) contain witty comments at the top, much like with crash reports.

• Maybe if you treated it better then it`ll have more motivation to work faster! Poor server.

Minceraft

There is a 0.01% chance that the title screen will display "Minceraft" instead of "Minecraft". The beginning of crash logs can have the phrase "You should try our sister game, Minceraft!", too.
