  • New music from C418 has strangely been absent from new versions of Minecraft. Why is this the case? In this video, I will be explaining the history of Minecraft's soundtrack and what happened to C418.

But it doesnt matter because is your home and the sun is rising up for a new cubic day, maybe tomorrow you play minecraft with your friends, maybe not but you have something to build now that you end your house.

Alpha is honestly the best soundtrack and I wish it played / played more in-game.

    i genuinely think c418’s volume beta is one of the best albums of the 2010’s. i’m glad i can listen to it on spotify without the advertisement money going to the wrong people
    edit: probably should state that i haven’t listened to a lot of albums from the 2010’s. drunk by thundercat is solid all the way through and the first two death grips albums are a white guy staple but other than that i can’t confidently compare volume beta to its contemporaries

      I agree but i do know why Mojang/Microsoft started going to other musicians
      for those who don’t know the reason why it’s because if Mojang wanted to do a Minecraft collaboration with a different game
      they can’t legally put in the C418 music and even if C418 agreed to allow his music in collaborations
      the other game company would not want it in there game sense it’s not legally owned by Microsoft
      and that opens up the possibility of lawsuits.

    • @Stevus12

      Also, If I'm correct on this, c418 is passively generating income simply because Minecraft still uses his music. since it isn't owned by microsoft. They are paying him either licensing fees or royalties to use the music. Which is probably why they didn't go forward with him as well, they have to fork over money to use it.
      I will say here though, I am not 100% sure about this and it's solely my interpretation of how I think the system works, I may be wrong with what I'm saying here.

      Because unlike java edition, the xbox account has less rights than the old mojang accounts. It allows them to sell you skins, datapacks, worlds, ect. Opening up microtransactions in game. That's Microsoft for you, what once was free will no longer be.
      Slowly phase out Java, but promise they're not going to. They're just manipulating new players into abandoning it so that the OG minecrafters will just die out.

Well, I often spend hours just building in the same biomes, so no wonder I almost never get any music.

    I just want to say that C418’s “Excursions” is one of my favorite albums ever and everyone should go listen to it.
    (And also C418 recently did some music for Cookie Clicker!)

    C418's work has embedded itself into entire generations of players, and people as a whole. You don't need to know Minecraft to know the music by C418. Even if he isn't doing work a lot anymore, people will know that OG soundtrack forever. The music like Stal, made me feel relaxed in Minecraft. So thanks C418 for laying down the tracks for one of the greatest game soundtracks ever.

      @@noahstrine8161 pigstep doesn't really bring that nostalgic kind of feel. The new tracks such as pigstep other side and all the ambient 1.16+ music is a vibe to say the least. But the reason why mc music is nostalgic is due to its simplicity, randomness and pure ambience just pushes the nostalgic vibe forward like aria math (my favourite) is made by only a couple of instruments. The new music being biome specific might be the reason why it doesn't pack the same punch as other tracks such as Sweden and mice on venus makes mundane tasks actually fun. I have to say tho lena and kumi really blew it away with the music.
