Nathan 'Dinnerbone' Adams is a game developer at Mojang AB who worked on Minecraft, Minecraft: Pocket Edition,[6] and its launcher. A member of the Bukkit team, Adams was hired by Mojang on 28 February 2012 to develop the mod API.[7][8] His first day at the Mojang office was 27 March 2012,[9] shortly before the first development snapshots for version 1.3.1.
A common trope attributed to Dinnerbone is that he is commonly displayed as being upside-down.[10][11] His Twitter avatar is flipped[12] and his user model, as well as any mob named "Dinnerbone", will be rendered upside-down.[11]
In October 2015 he announced that he would be "taking a break from Minecraft PC development for a few months."[13] Later, in February 2016, he further elaborated that though he would continue on other projects at Mojang, he had left the Minecraft team.[14][15] During this time, he worked on the 2017 native launcher. On February 6, 2017, Dinnerbone confirmed he had rejoined the Minecraft team.[16]
Biography
Nathan Adams is originally from Shrewsbury, United Kingdom.[17] He says he learned programming through creating MSN bots at age 10.[3][18] After finishing secondary school, Dinnerbone was rejected from college,[19] so he found a job with a tiny web development company but was made redundant after a few years. Shortly after starting Bukkit, Dinnerbone was hired by Curse where he worked until joining Mojang.[20] Aleksandra Zajac (MissMarzenia) is his fiancée.[21] He announced on August 24, 2016 that he and Aleksandra were expecting a baby boy.[22][23] The baby was later born on October 2, 2016.[24]
Trivia

- Dinnerbone's favorite color is blue and his favorite foods are lasagna and pizza.[17]

- If you name any mob with a name tag with the name "Dinnerbone", the animal will flip upside down. This naturally extends to himself. Same logic applies for naming a mob "Grumm".
- Dinnerbone can sometimes be found on Mindcrack with other famous youtubers.
