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. 0x10<sup>c</sup> is a hexadecimal number equivalent to 16<sup>12</sup> 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.<ref>{{citation|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402174313/https://www.shadowlocked.com/201203312487/news/minecraft-creator-scores-april-fool-with-project-mars-effect.html|title=Minecraft creator scores April Fool with 'Mars Effect'|website=Shadowlocked|author=Rebecca Fields|date=March 31, 2012}}</ref> However, the gameplay elements remained true and on April 3, 2012, Mojang revealed it as a space sandbox title.<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2012/04/03/mojang-registers-website-for-its-new-game-0x10c/|title=Mojang Registers Website For Its New Game '0x10c'|website=Forbes|author=Alex Knapp|date=April 3, 2012}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.polygon.com/2013/4/5/4183864/minecraft-scrolls-0x10c-the-past-present-and-future-of-mojang-as-seen|title=Minecraft, Scrolls, 0x10c: The past, present and future of Mojang as seen through Notch's eyes|website=Polygon|author=Brian Crecente|date=April 5, 2013}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{citation|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130816034249/https://www.geek.com/games/notch-indefintely-shelves-mojangs-space-game-0x10c-1565266/|title=Notch indefintely shelves Mojang’s space game, 0x10c|website=Geek.com|author=James Plafke|date=August 13, 2013}}</ref>
