He was then hired by Curse, where he worked on the Minecraft server modification CraftBukkit.[4] Mojang then took full control of and hired the CraftBukkit team to work on a modding API,[5] which allowed mod developers easier access to the Minecraft game files.[6] He was hired on 28 February 2012[1] and started work on 27 March.[2] He quit work on Minecraft in October 2015[7] to work on a new Minecraft application launcher, and rejoined in February 2017.[8][9] He currently serves as the technical director for the game,[citation needed] however as of July 2022[update], Adams said that he hadn't been working for a year and a half due to health issues.[10]
Outside of Mojang, Adams has also been a senior developer for the Ruffle emulator project since early 2020.[11]
