Jens "Jeb" Bergensten[note 2] is the Chief Creative Officer[7] at Mojang Studios.
Jeb joined Mojang on December 1, 2010, as a game developer.[4] Starting out as a back-end developer for Scrolls, Jeb became increasingly involved in the development of Minecraft, implementing features like wolves, pistons, and map structures (villages, strongholds and nether fortresses). Jeb later took the lead position in Minecraft development in December 2011 when Markus Persson stepped down.[8][9] On December 12, 2012, he announced that he would also take the lead of Pocket Edition.[10] Jeb used the Minecraft Wiki as Jeb mojang,[11][note 1] where he was particularly active in the issue lists, which he sanctioned as the official place to report and discuss Minecraft bugs and annoyances before the introduction of the official bug tracker. In April 2013, Jens together with Markus Persson were included the annual TIME 100 listicle of the most influential people in the world.[12]
Jens Bergensten was born in Örebro, Sweden.
On May 11, 2013, Jeb married Jenny Bergensten (née Thornell), a photographer.[13] They had a son (Björn Bergensten) on December 10, 2015.[14]

Jeb, you've added a lot of things to Minecraft — which one is your favorite?
The random structures, like strongholds and Nether fortresses. It was challenging to do — when they're generated, the game doesn't know what the terrain looks like. The game has to make a lot of assumptions, which may result in villages with ravines running through them, or villages that are half-submerged in water.
I think Minecraft unleashes people's creativity and helps them collaborate, but also teaches them things like geometry, languages and maths, so yes, I do think that the world would be a better place if everyone played Minecraft.
