"Minecraft" fans wondering if there is a sequel to their favorite game should not hold their breath. Game developer, Mojang, is not thinking of developing a "Minecraft 2" anytime in the near future.

In an interview he gave with IGN, Mojang's CEO, Jonas Martensson, stated directly that "there's been no discussions about Minecraft 2 at the moment." He went on to say that even though he cannot say there will never be a sequel to the popular game, he is confident that there would not be one in the "foreseeable future."

Instead of developing a new "Minecraft" game, Martensson revealed that Mojang would rather focus on extending and improving the existing game with regular updates.

One update that the company is working on is for the Windows 10 as the system is said to soon be capable of supporting cross-platform multiplayer versions of "Minecraft" that is running on iOS, Android, and Windows Phones.

Mojang is also keenly aware of the game's strong community presence and Martensson says the company does not want to disturb that.

"We also want to make sure the creativity of the community is still there, so we can allow and empower all our users to create plugins or mods," he said. "I think then the community will take the game where it's going to be in five years."

This outlook certainly reflects Microsoft's new strategy. The company, which acquired Mojang for a whopping $2.5 billion about a year ago, has just launched Windows 10 and plans to just release updates continuously for free.

In reality, coming up with "Minecraft 2" at this point might just hurt it. Minecraft is so popular and so big that it cannot be described as just a simple game. It has evolved into a culture of players, mods and Let's Play videos. Mojang creating a sequel would risk dividing Minecraft's established community and reduce its popularity.

Plus, the game is still generating some serious income. Minecraft has sold more than 16 million copies last year in all types of platforms and is projected to continue to do so through Xbox Live and Realms multi-player servers. So it is no wonder that Martensson and his colleagues are not thinking of "Minecraft 2" yet. After all, why fix what is not broken?
