If the creator is reading this, a word of warning: Although I know of no instance where Mojang have pursued anyone for it, the Minecraft brand guidelines state:

    We are less relaxed about commercial things. You may not 
    therefore use the Minecraft Name in or as the main name 
    or title of commercial things.
You may wish to reconsider your name choice, although it's unlikely that anything will come of it they are in a position where you're violating their requirements.

Thanks for the comment. Monjang is fully aware of this product and has given a thumbs up on both the branding and commercial approach.
That's awesome! I've signed up to the launch list, I can forward it to our content team (I manage minecraftforum.net) at launch and they may be able to do an article on it.
Way to name drop, squiddles.
I was being nice :( Saying "I can forward it to our content team" and not explaining why that has any value to him is silly
No worries squid... happy to chat... will reach out to you soon.
