It might be a good idea to not hold your breath for a full-blown sequel to Minecraft.
A Minecraft 2 isn't happening any time soon or even for the 'foreseeable future', according to Mojang CEO Jonas Martensson.
"First of all, there's been no discussions about Minecraft 2 at the moment," Martensson told IGN at gamescom 2015.
"I can't promise forever there'll never be a Minecraft 2, but for the foreseeable future there won't be."
He added: "I think we've always been listening to the players and one big step has been to bring the game to all platforms and letting people play together.
"We also want to make sure the creativity of the community is still there, so we can allow and empower all our users to create plugins or mods, then I think... the community will take the game where it's going to be in five years."
