4J Studios (which stands for Jute, Jam, Journalism,[note 1] and Joysticks[1]) is an independent game development studio based in Scotland, with offices in Dundee and Edinburgh (previously East Linton).[2] The staff includes many former key personnel from defunct studio VIS Entertainment. The studio was founded by Paddy Burns and Chris van der Kuyl in 2005,[3][4] and is best known for developing the Legacy Console Edition of Minecraft. Although Legacy Console Edition is now discontinued, 4J Studios continues to work with Minecraft as a Marketplace partner.[5] 4J Studios' current focus is developing their standalone game Reforj.
