I doubt they'll rewrite the original. They'll probably create a Minecraft 2 thats written in C# so they can sell it for $59.99.

You can have C# and multi-platform support : http://www.monogame.net/

And Microsoft is still holding on what will come next after XNA for game development in a managed context on Windows and beyond AFAIK.

If they do, it'll be Minecraft 2 or something.

Currently it's Java. WP doesn't support java.

And it's not a big jump from having to make C# version anycase to moving the main development to that port.

Pretty sure the every version outside of PC is not Java, so there is already an existing minecraft codebase that could potentially be ported to WP (Xbox version seems mostly likely for porting since it will already be using directx for rendering).

Currently the mobile and console versions are in C++.
