The recent rumour that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim includes a Minecraft related Easter egg has been disproved by long-time fans of the series.
Gaming forums and a few gaming websites had previously reported that there was an Easter egg which referenced Minecraft in Skyrim, after a ‘Notched Pickaxe’ was found as loot. Since the posts, fans of the series have been quick to point out that the Notched Pickaxe was also in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
So unfortunately for Markus Persson aka “Notch” there isn’t an Easter egg named after him in Skyrim.

Those “fans of the series” clearly aren’t.
