Minecraft wiki entry for 0x10c, associated text: According to Notch, the game’s name was “intentionally bad” as a marketing experiment to see if Mojang could get away with naming their next game “pretty much anything”.[94]
“Mackapar Media”, a fictional company that produced some of the in-game hardware, was the company credited on Mojang's Pig Tales website, and is also mentioned in a video advertising the original LEGO Minecraft set.[95]
Another word for the number represented by the hexadecimal value “0x10c” is “Trillek”.[96]
The sound of the weapon seen in some of the videos is taken from the blaster from the game Quake 2.[97]
Some of the videos from the game’s development contain a low-poly model of the Soldier character from the game Team Fortress 2.[98][99]
The game was not planned to use alpha or beta labels,[100] with the first phase of development being referred to as "Montauk".[101]
