'''''Brickcraft''''' is a cancelled [[Wikipedia:Sandbox game|sandbox game]] developed by [[Wikipedia:Mojang|Mojang]]. It was planned to be a LEGO version of ''[[Wikipedia:Minecraft|Minecraft]]''. A lot of dumb stuff happened during its development that hopefully made LEGO realise they were too tight with their brand image.

In 2011, as the full version of ''Minecraft'' was approaching its November release date, Persson attempted to reach out to the LEGO Group to propose a game project. Persson had been partially inspired by childhood LEGO toys when designing ''Minecraft'', and had a lifelong dream of working with the LEGO Group. Persson and one of his employees, Daniel Kaplan, met with someone who was able to get the two of them in contact with management at the LEGO Group. The two attempted to pitch a ''Minecraft''-like LEGO game to the company, but were initially met with skepticism regarding ''Minecraft'''s popularity until they were able to talk with employee Daniel Mathiasen.{{R|BNB01|pp=9–10}} The LEGO Group ultimately approved of the project, which was codenamed ''Brickcraft'' there; Persson dubbed it "Project Rex Kwon Do",{{R|BNB01|p=10}} named after a line from the 2004 film ''[[Wikipedia:Napoleon Dynamite|Napoleon Dynamite]]''.{{R|BNB01|p=5}}
 
Persson started work on the project on 5 September 2011, and publicly announced it that day on [[Wikipedia:Twitter|Twitter]].<ref name="twit 1"/>
 
He started developing a prototype for it in [[Wikipedia:Java (software platform)|Java]]{{R|BNB01|p=1}} (which ''Minecraft'' was also programmed in),
