How I got on the Minecraft title screen... ? #shorts

Introduction

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have your name featured on the title screen of Minecraft? Well, let me take you through my rather convoluted journey that made it possible.

It all started with an unexpected familial connection. My dad's twice-removed great-great-aunt happens to be a cousin of Markus Persson, better known as Notch, the original creator of Minecraft. For nearly two decades, I made countless attempts to reach out to him, hoping to forge a connection. After what felt like an eternity of persistence, I finally managed to get in touch with Notch himself!

As we chatted about the game that has captivated millions, I decided to ask if he could somehow incorporate my name into Minecraft. But I was met with surprising news—Notch no longer owns the game. It had been purchased by a billionaire named Gil Bates. This left me feeling quite bewildered and unsure of my next move.

Then, just when I thought I was at a dead end, Notch did something unexpected. He gave me James Charles' email address. You might be wondering how this could possibly help, but bear with me. James took it upon himself to contact none other than Barack Obama to discuss coding changes in Minecraft. In a twist of fate you could only dream of, Obama's involvement ensured my name would gracing the title screen.

The stars truly aligned, and I went from a passionate Minecraft fan to having my name immortalized in the very game I love.
