Formerly Senior Studios, now ThunderAy -- a Swedish Minecraft content studio that produces skin packs, worlds, and add-ons at scale, and has worked with major YouTube creators including The Sidemen and Lazarbeam.
ThunderAy is the rebranded identity of Senior Studios, a Swedish Minecraft content studio that has been an official Marketplace partner since 2020. Founded by Melvin Hedlund, who serves as CEO, the studio operates out of Orebro, Sweden, and has grown into one of the more commercially significant operations on the Bedrock Marketplace.
The rebrand from Senior Studios to ThunderAy was described as more than a name change -- it represented a shift toward a "bolder, sleeker, and more energetic" identity, anchored by a signature lightning bolt motif. The new brand was developed by Brands Built Right, a creative agency, suggesting the studio takes its commercial positioning seriously.
With over 440 published products, ThunderAy's catalog spans the major Marketplace content categories. Skin packs form the largest portion, with themed collections covering historical periods (Vikings, Ancient Time), professions, and fantasy characters. The studio also produces world maps -- Futuristic Base (4.5 stars), Village, The Tower, Futuristic Kingdom, Atlantis Underground Base, and Cozy Camp House represent a range from sci-fi builds to pastoral settings. Add-ons like Backpacks++ and Vanilla Biomes+ (which adds 55 new mobs, animals, and structures) show technical capability beyond visual content.
What distinguishes ThunderAy from many Marketplace creators is their work with high-profile YouTube creators. In 2022, the studio worked on more than 3,000 projects and collaborated with creators such as The Sidemen and Lazarbeam. This positions ThunderAy not just as a Marketplace publisher but as a service studio capable of producing branded Minecraft content for influencer partnerships.
Melvin Hedlund's leadership has steered the company from a Marketplace-only operation into a broader content creation business. The legacy Senior Studios website offered brand partnership services, and the studio has positioned itself as a bridge between Minecraft's creative capabilities and the commercial needs of brands and content creators.
