====Crown and Council ====
Crown and Council is a casual strategy game fully created by Henrik Pettersson. It was originally conceived in a 72-hour game jam, and was released on April 22, 2016. It was inspired by the games and , although many compare it to .
The game puts the player in control of a nation warring against others on a tile-based map. Each turn, the player earns income based on how many conquered tiles they have, and can spend earned money to conquer other tiles or improve their own through the construction of structures like forts, villages and universities, which all provide different bonuses. The player wins a map once they have vanquished all enemies, regardless of actual remaining neutral tiles. There are 75 maps, with additional maps being procedurally generated.
He originally said he planned on continuing working on the game to fix bugs and add features. An update released in January 2017 added a 99-map campaign and tweaks to the procedural generation and land-taking mechanics to improve balance. The most important change was in the calculations affecting the attack and defense of territories: the element of "randomness" was removed, and "attrition" was added, meaning that failed attacks improve the chance of future attacks succeeding. This update also added OSX and Linux versions.

=====Catacomb Snatch=====
Main Wiki: Catacomb Snatch Wiki

Using the results of a poll in which both the most and least voted for categories were mixed together, the game features an "RTS-shoot 'em up" genre and "steampunk-Ancient Egypt" theme. The Humble Indie Bundle website featured live-stream footage of the development, and took donations; those who donated received access to the game not only once it was completed, but when the developers released stable builds during the event.https://web.archive.org/web/20120222201020/https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/40321/Mojang_Humble_Indie_Bundle_team_up_to_make_charity_game.php
The objective of the game is to collect 50 batches of treasure from a Treasure Trove located somewhere on the randomly generated map before your opponent. Players can gather money by destroying enemies such as bats, cobras, mummies and pharaohs, and collecting the coins that they drop. These coins can then be used to buy automatic turrets, coin harvesters, bombs, and rails and railcarts from your Base Camp, in order to help you defend and expand your territory, earn money, destroy obstacles, and build railways.https://catacombsnatch.net/about.html The game can be played both against an AI opponent in singleplayer or against another player in multiplayer.

====Unreleased games====
=====0x10c=====
Following the end to his involvement with Minecraft, Notch began pre-production of an alternate reality space game set in the distant future in March 2012. 0x10c is a hexadecimal number equivalent to 1612 in decimal, which equals 281,474,976,710,656, which was the number of years that were passed in story since 1988. On April Fools' Day 2012, Mojang launched a satirical website for Mars Effect, citing the lawsuit with Bethesda as an inspiration. However, the gameplay elements remained true and on April 3, 2012, Mojang revealed it as a space sandbox title.
The game was eventually put on hold in April of 2013 because Notch had found creative blocks. However, at the time, he was still interested in expanding the development staff to push the game toward release. Eventually, the game was indefinitely shelved on August 13, 2013, but Notch added that it could be made in the future if another Mojang employee was interested in developing it.
On September 15, 2014, the soundtrack for the game was released by Daniel Rosenfeld.0x10c by C418 on Bandcamp
=====Brickcraft =====
From September 5, 2011 to July 19, 2012, Mojang was co-developing a video game titled Brickcraft (codenamed Project Rex Kwon Do) alongside . Before the title had reached a significant stage of development, Mojang cancelled the collaboration to focus on developing their own titles (Minecraft, Scrolls, and 0x10c at the time). Despite the cancellation, The Lego Group briefly considered acquiring Mojang, but according to Ronny Scherer, the senior director for the LEGO Games Asia/Pacific division, they decided against it as Minecraft "was still emerging" and they had "no guarantee that it would end up becoming the cultural phenomenon that it became".
===== RubyDung=====
RubyDung, short for "Rubylands Dungeon Game", was a Dwarf Fortress-inspired game being developed by Notch in early 2009. The game would have focused on being easier to play and more accessible than its predecessor, and would have featured both isometric and first-person viewing modes. Upon discovering Infiniminer, Notch decided a first-person block-based game would be a better choice for the kind of gameplay he had in mind,https://web.archive.org/web/20210513102920/https://notch.tumblr.com/post/227922045/the-origins-of-minecraft#_=_ and code and art from RubyDung was reused to create Minecraft.
=====Zombie Town=====
Zombie Town was a GTA: Chinatown Wars-inspired game being developed by Notch in early 2009. It would have been a zombie game based on one of Notch’s earlier projects, Left 4k Dead. The game was never completed, but Notch later reused its character models and textures for the player character in Minecraft.
