On our podcast, Good, Bad, Billionaire, we explain how the world's billionaires made all their money.

Pop stars and tech titans, founders and filmmakers, inventors and investors. We cover them all. And for the

first time, we're talking about a video game designer. Yep, we're talking about Marcus Person,

the Swedish Coding King, who programmed the world's most successful game, Minecraft, all by himself.

He made a billion, but is he good, bad or just another billionaire?

My name is Johnny, but the internet knows me as Pixariffs, and joining me is a partially AI generated Joel Duggan. Hi, Joel. I'm mostly here.

If I start blipping, then that's your cue. Things with AI are getting very interesting,

and I've been messing around with stuff behind the scenes, and that's what we were talking about

in the render distance, the extended version of the program. You can get that at patreon.com slash the sponge chunks. That's where Johnny and I tag on an extra 20 minutes at the start of the show, about 10 or 15 at the end. It happens every single week for our patrons. You get extra content. You also get to hang out with us at the Minecraft monthly hangout, which is usually the the last Saturday of the month where we do like a quick login that we do on the show, but with you, our patrons, instead of just Johnny and I, get see all kinds of cool builds, all the stuff that's coming out with the latest update to Minecraft, what people are building with Firefly bushes, that kind of stuff. And we also do quarterly hangouts. That's where Johnny and I talk about the business of the Spon Chunks and how the downloads are doing and what new projects are coming down the pipes and what we're thinking about doing with the show. So if you're interested in any of that, check out the extended version of the program. It's all at patreon.com slash the Sponschunks.

7, the author of Tables and Chairs 2, who gave me a little strip of command line in Minecraft to not just remove,

like, the table and chair entities from the old data pack,

but do so in a way that it's a small radius,

so it's not going to accidentally delete an armor stand,

you know, four blocks away when I'm clicking mistakenly. And so it's not going to accidentally delete an armor stand, you know, four blocks away when I'm,
