How do you make a sequel to Minecraft? In terms of concept and execution it’s as close to perfect as it gets. It would be like trying to improve Lego, and we all know that’s not possible.
Despite the seeming incomprehensibility of Minecraft 2, Notch and the gang have said the studio will “probably do Minecraft 2”, just not until it’s wrapped up work on Scrolls.
While Notch and co. toil away on their next game, we’ve spent some time thinking about Minecraft 2 and come up with a few things we’d like to see in the sequel. These are based on our own selfish desires and we’re sure you’ve got some ideas too, feel free to let us know what you want in the comments below.
