As everyone knows, Minecraft<\/a> creator Mojang was sold to Microsof<\/a>t recently, and amongst all the commentary and fallout, YouTuber Seth Bling has created ‘Minecraft 2′<\/strong> using Microsoft’s Excel as the game engine.<\/p>\n

While this is a joke, there is actually a spreadsheet you can download to try ‘Minecraft 2’. It just requires a copy of Microsoft Excel to run it. The spreadsheet is very comprehensive, even including instructions<\/strong>. Not even the first Minecraft came with instructions! There’s a Title Screen, that does nothing, Game Screen, where you can move your character around, expense reports, and a workbench for crafting items just like in the original. As a joke, it’s surprisingly complete. Watch the video:<\/p>\n

Since purchasing Minecraft and its parent company, Microsoft has said nothing concrete about its plans for the game.

And of course, there have been no announcements about any ‘Minecraft 2’.<\/p>\n
