Introduction
Nathan "Dinnerbone" Adams is a British video game developer, who has been working on Minecraft since March 2012.
Personal life
Adams was born in Shrewsbury, England on 23 July 1991. He says that he learned programming at age 10 by creating MSN bots. He is married to Aleksandra "MissMarzenia" Zajac, the project manager at Mojang. They have one son, who was born on 2 October 2016. He is red-green colorblind, a condition that changed Minecraft’s ruby block to an emerald block so that he could differentiate the ore from the existing red stone.
Career
After finishing secondary school, he was rejected from college, so found a job with a small web development company. He was then hired by Curse, where he worked on the Minecraft server modification CraftBukkit. Mojang then took full control of and hired the CraftBukkit team to work on a modding API, which allowed mod developers easier access to the Minecraft game files. He was hired on 28 February 2012 and started work on 27 March. He quit work on Minecraft in October 2015 to work on a new Minecraft application launcher, and joined back in February 2017.
