Mojang Won't Use Generative AI, Minecraft Is 'About Creativity and Creating'

Author : Peyton Update:Apr 12,2025

Minecraft developer Mojang remains steadfast in its commitment to human creativity, explicitly stating no plans to integrate generative artificial intelligence into its game development process. As the influence of generative AI in game development grows, with examples like Activision's use of AI-generated art in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Microsoft's development of Muse, an AI for generating game ideas, Mojang stands firm in its preference for the human touch that has propelled Minecraft to become the best-selling game of all time, with an astonishing 300 million sales.

During a recent event attended by IGN, Minecraft Vanilla game director Agnes Larsson emphasized the importance of human creativity: “Here for us, just like Minecraft is about creativity and creating. I think it's important that it makes us feel happy to create as humans. That's a purpose, [it] makes life look beautiful. So for us, we really want it to be our teams that make our games.” This sentiment was echoed by Ingela Garneij, executive producer of Minecraft Vanilla, who highlighted the unique human element necessary for understanding the essence of Minecraft: “For me, it's the thinking outside of the box part. This specific touch of: what is Minecraft? How does it look? That extra quality is really tricky to create through AI. We even try to have remote teams sometimes and guide them in building things for us, which has never worked, because you have to be here working together face-to-face. Creativity is... you need to meet like this as a person, as a human to really truly understand the values and principles and the ecosystem, the lore, everything. It's so massive Minecraft, it's a planet, it's massive.”

Mojang's dedication to human creativity continues to drive the game forward. The upcoming graphics update, Vibrant Visuals, is set to enhance the visual experience of Minecraft, and the company remains committed to not making the game free-to-play. This approach aligns with Mojang's philosophy of continually improving and expanding the original game, rather than creating a "Minecraft 2." Despite being 16 years old, Minecraft shows no signs of slowing down, and Mojang's stance against using generative AI in its development remains unwavering.
