Meanwhile, Mojang, a game studio responsible for the development of Minecraft within Microsoft, explains his original plan for the BLM movement on Twitter.

Minecraft's official Twitter account said, 'We stand in the unwavering support of black societies, denying racism, oppression, and the suffering that too many people have endured for a long time. We have discussed, learned and considered how we can contribute to a strong movement that promotes global equality and justice, because the life of black people is important, and as a first step, June 2020. To commemorate Juneteenth on Friday, all profits from the sale of content such as Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Marketplace on the day were unfairly criminalized by BLM organization Black Lives Matter Foundation . We will donate to the Equal Justice Initiative , a non-profit organization that helps convicted people and others, and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund , a civil rights organization based in New York.'

Minecraft intends to donate all of the Minecraft-related revenue for this day, but it is unknown how much money will be collected.
