I have a hunch that we'll see a rewrite to C# and no more Linux support. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

- gagege 12y agoIf they do, it'll be Minecraft 2 or something.
- rukittenme 12y agoI doubt they'll rewrite the original. They'll probably create a Minecraft 2 thats written in C# so they can sell it for $59.99.
- kcbanner 12y agoWhy?
- sharpneli 12y agoCurrently it's Java. WP doesn't support java. And it's not a big jump from having to make C# version anycase to moving the main development to that port.
- Mikeb85 12y agoCurrently the mobile and console versions are in C++.
- numo16 12y agoPretty sure the every version outside of PC is not Java, so there is already an existing minecraft codebase that could potentially be ported to WP (Xbox version seems mostly likely for porting since it will already be using directx for rendering).
- Thieum22 12y agoYou can have C# and multi-platform support : http://www.monogame.net/ http://www.monogame.net/ And Microsoft is still holding on what will come next after XNA for game development in a managed context on Windows and beyond AFAIK.
