The Story of Minecraft's Birth Minecraft was first developed by Swedish programmer Markus Persson.

BLACK MARSEMIUS, THE LICH-DRAGON
The cave had been considered cursed for centuries, but no one left alive remembered why. It was a place of ill-omen, where no rest was to be had by the wounded and weary. Legends spoke of demons and clouds of poison and gods of death dwelling in the black depths of the cave. At the deepest part of the cave was the Great Seal, a slab of obsidian covered in runes and a thirty foot wide magic circle. People dumped trash and corpses in the cave, and sometimes bandits or tribes of humanoids would hide here, but never for very long. Stingbats roosted on the ceiling next to giant arachnids that looked like stalactites. Giant rats and centipedes creeped around the dark corners of the cave in search of food. Other malignant creatures stirred in the shadows, lurking, waiting for prey.
