Minecraft finally launched on Xbox LIVE Arcade yesterday and the block-based game wasted no time in making its makers even more money.

According to Minecraft creator and Mojang boss Markus Persson, the XBLA version is already making a profit.

“Well then. Saw the official sales numbers for the first 24 hours of Minecraft Xbox 360, and it’s very, very good,” Tweeted Persson. “Profitable in an hour.”

We awarded the game an impressive 9/10, with its minor problems not enough to harm the root gameplay.

Further details are expected from Microsoft shortly.
