The basement. A confined, damp space where you abandon all your old belongings to rot for all eternity… or perhaps, a potential gold mine? Yesterday’s trash could actually turn out to be well-aged cheese – a fortune that’s just waiting to be rediscovered. Who knows what you might’ve forgotten down there? Old board games, your favourite childhood toy, perhaps even those grandparents that you haven’t seen in years.

When Mojang recently moved offices, we decided to visit our c̶a̶t̶a̶c̶o̶m̶b̶s̶ basement and do a thorough inventory of our old garbage. As we descended into the deepest, darkest corners, we stumbled upon something shocking amongst all the rubble. Something long forgotten. It was Kevin, our old intern we thought had left in 2013 for greater adventures!

But forget Kevin, again, for we found something far more important down there. We couldn’t believe our eyes. A boxed copy of the award-winning Minecraft 3D!
