Minecraft: 1.20 Soundtrack (Trails & Tales)

I'm glad we're getting more music with each update, but I just wish Microsoft would let C418 put his third album into the game. He already finished it.

Never will happen unfortunately due to corporate greed

[@mikechad27]

So you hate the new music? Is that what you're saying?

[@potatojuiceultra]

Bromeliad actually kind of blew my mind the first time I heard it. I had recently started a survival world for the first time in years (and the first time ever with the music on), and after doing some caving I decided to find a location for my permanent base. I started climbing a huge plateau with sprawling plains on both sides, the plateau seemed to continue on forever. Right when I started my journey, Bromeliad came on. It captured the bittersweet feeling of leaving my starter base, the song started to pick up as I started moving, and the part at 7:50 hit right as I reached the end of the plateau to find a cherry grove overlooking a beautiful river surrounded by sunflower plains (at sunset of course). One of the most memorable experiences I've had and ever will have in Minecraft.

[@gdvortex2169]

That part of the song... That one single part, is burned into my memory till the day I die, and I just know it. It blew me away with all kinds of emotions so much so that i knew i had to write a song sampling that part of Bromeliad. I've been gifted with musical talent and ability to discern certain things. I've been in a music oriented class, but I've never written a song. I have many inspirations I look up to in terms of music and life, but this one gave me the last nudge to actually follow through with what I want to do.

[@epicgamer-sl8xq]

To be honest, I never really thought new minecraft music might give me the same vibes as C418's songs, but Bromeliad is the type of song that reminds me of every memory I have of the game, from my first world to my most recent, from my late night hours mining to my hypixel minigames gameplay. It's so beautiful and nostalgic that I cannot explain what amalgamation of feelings it stimulates in me. I hope mojang (or microsoft, idk which select the music artists) find more of these gems that we call artists, so that the musical masterpiece that minecraft's OST is may live on forever.

[@DenjiMine12]

I love that the guys over at Mojang are getting new people to compose for Minecraft. We all talk about how nostalgic C418's stuff is, but this feels like a new era for the people who are just starting to play the game. In 10 years, Lena Raine and Aaron Cherof are going to be nostalgic for them, and I just gotta say, they've got a damn good soundtrack here to get nostalgic for.

[@foxcannon]

@@vicinity5704 100% agree, I definitely prefer Aaron's pieces to Lena's, though her nether tracks are absolutely perfect.

[@hallowedchromee310]

As a builder I love Aaron and Lena's tracks the most. Similar to how an artist listens to music while they draw, when I hear their music in game it just sparks my creativity and gets me more productive for some reason. People say her music is too upbeat for the Overworld but I disagree personally, its a nice change of pace to listen to and often has changed my mood from bored to inspired to play harder.

[@coyote-brawlstars696]

Somehow, as a new player I find lena's tracks more nostalgic than C418's. I remember being on a treacherous journey in the crimson forest while chrysopoeia was constantly playing

I started playing on the Xbox 360 edition at 7/8, now I'm a 17-year-old who's going to become a high school senior. It's insane to see how much time has passed in that decade, and I love that this soundtrack brings back a good bit of that C418 esque nostalgic factor. Next year I'm graduating and this is definitely hitting differently immediately. I was a kid making wacky roller coasters and basic houses, and playing the tutorial. Now, I've made far strides in recent worlds with my building skills vastly improving in the last four years. I want to absolutely make the most out of my next survival world this summer when it may be the last time I get all the time for it for a while. P.S.

I made a minecraft world with a friend in december of 2023. We used to play on it for hours every day through the Christmas break right up till around April, where we both became busier with school. Now, we only rarely play on it and it's hard to find time to play or do anything together now. Listening to these tracks reminds me of the world we built, and all the time we spent together on it just hanging out, sometimes not even talking, just working on our own things, but still there with each other. I don't have a lot of friends to be honest, and he's probably one of my best friends even though he lives continents away from me and we've never even voicecalled or anything. Despite all that, he's someone really important to me, and i really cherish the time we spent together at the end of last year and earlier this year on our world. Listening to these makes me think of him and all the time we spent together, and how without him, I would probably have been in a much worse place mentally, though he doesn't know any of that. I'm just glad he's been such a good friend to me, and i hope we can get a chance to play together again sometime soon, just like we did before. This turned out a lot longer and way more personal than i thought it would, wow. I really love him man, in a no homo way.

As an avid fan of C418's works, I can say that Echo in the Wind fits fantastically with his type of sound. C418's music is incredibly strange, yet sonically beautiful and layered. The new music for this update bears a very apparent resemblance to that, without sounding like the composer tried to outright copy the style of the old Minecraft music. I am a fan of Lena Raine and her nether music was fantastic, but I feel Aaron Cherof (together with Kumi Tanioka's music from the Caves and Cliffs update) really succeeds in bringing back that nostalgic sound we all love.

[@lurosie5813]

Random biomes these tracks make me think of: 🪨 A Familiar Room - a small dripstone cave; it’s cozy, you have a furnace lit. The piano notes resemble the water droplets coming from the rock 🪸 Bromeliad - a coral reef at night, the glow of sea pickles illuminate the fish swimming by. This biome stretches as far as you can see (this is my favourite from these new tracks!) ⛰️ Crescent Dunes - I struggled with this one but I decided on the savanna plateau/eroded savanna plateau; you climb to the top and gaze down over the grasslands, jagged peaks in the distance just waiting to be explored! The name suggests sand but to me this sounds almost tropical.. 🍄 Echo in the Wind - my immediate thought was ‘dense forest’ the reverb sound creates a sense of vast space but the quietness implies any sound is absorbed and so I think a dark oak forest fits well ~ it’s not a biome I explore often but beautiful nonetheless

[@theholyokapi]

Echo in the wind is for the cherry blossom biome, can't be meant for anything else

[@LuckyTabbyStuff]

Imo A Familiar Room: Anywhere I guess in the Overworld as it reminds me of the og C418 music. Bromeliad: A Jungle with a trail ruin and jungle temple with parrots. Crescent Dunes: A desert while riding the camels. Echo in the Wind: The new cherry grove, a lush cave, and a forest.

[@TheFlyfly]

some stuff i noticed while listening that i thought might be fun to share: 1:22 somehow reminds me of Penny's Song from WarioWare: Get It Together 3:17 and 4:31 seems to be some sort of motif for the 1.20 tracks The beat at the second half of Bromeliad sounds like autumn leaves 6:22 feels like an evolution of the main motif of C418's Minecraft Volume Alpha/Beta (the one featured heavily in the track "Minecraft", among many others) Echo in the Wind feels like something swaying by a gentle draft 14:53 reminds me a lot of C418's Mutation or Beginning. i think it's mainly the chords and instrument used, but also partially the structure of the notes, that make them similar *lastly, me being sentimental:* kind of unrelated to the music, but the fact that Minecraft is as far as update 1.20 now, and how different the game's become, is making me feel sad, yet proud. It's sad that the times of Minecraft's past are now gone, but i feel a sense of proudness of the game for how far it's come. it feels like both me and this game have grown up, in a way

My opinion on Aaron's new soundtracks. Remember it's only my opinion and I know many people will disagree with me "A familiar room" - masterpiece, but it doesn't suit Minecraft for some reason "Bromeliad" - the best of all, it has that incredibly nostalgic C418 vibe "Crescent dunes" - unique, very different from other Minecraft soundtrack, but suits Minecraft vibe perfectly "Echo in the wind" - very ambient and calm, but it's missing something "Relic" - very cheerful and just like the music disc should be And what is the best of them in your opinion?

I didn’t pay attention to these when they came out, and most of the time I keep my music off . . . But today I was just going about my bruising Ss in Minecraft and I heard echo in the wind . . . I just stopped what I was doing and just listened. It’s so . . . Magical.

[@ethangoesvroom]

“Familiar room” is simply beautiful. Makes me wanna cry.

[@jeanculasec1466]

Would have never imagined new music to sound both modern yet capture the old music nostalgia at the same time. Amazing when I first heard it

[@LexiaKazu]

Indeed of course I admired Lena raine’s ost from previous update title but this one I feel time back to where I first started Minecraft beta version

[@randomaxolotl2394]

BEAUTIFUL! Cant believe this is in minecraft damn.

[@rainflowerr]

a familiar room is so beautiful. there’s a sense of nostalgia and sadness and almost longing? it’s like the feeling of missing something so badly but knowing those memories can never be replicated. truly a masterpiece

[@ottergauze]

Weirdly enough that’s the track that captivates me more than anything else. I’m a long time player, dating back to the early beta days, and it sorta represents those old memories and longing i feel to experience this game for the first time again. Minecraft doesn’t feel the same anymore, and thats not anyone’s fault. Not mine or Mojang’s, but i’ve grown and changed in a way where I’ll never be able to truly experience Minecraft in the ways that made me love it. And you know what? that hurts a lot more than i care to admit when we look at the fact that this is a video game. I consider this game almost like family because i’ve made so many memories with it. But that’s reason enough if you ask me.

[@bugboy9915]

bromeliad is my fav in this update truly peaceful which reflects cherry biome perfectly

[@pikaotikkoala9326]

i love this so much, bromeliad and echo in the wind are my favs

[@martinpefaur5948]

es lindo y curioso pensar que podemos conocer a personas maravillosas dentro de este juego, podemos estar cerca de cualquiera que esté lejos de nosotros... eso para mí lo hace un juego maravilloso y muy preciado

[@fawnsie3393]

The song "A familiar Room" seems like the song that would play in the background of a memory montage of my life before my teens, and I love it and hate the lump in my throat it gives me

[@jeremyfisher8512]

Say what you want about the rest of the content, but the new music they've been adding each update has been fire

[@shravan012]

Echo in the wind is my favorite

[@brunogomezmunoz8239]

Echo in the wild is just perfect 👌

[@PallDexCrew]

This is really nice, giving a nostalgic feeling of previous soundtracks we knew in the last decade, we will call this nostalgia too in next 10 years

[@aoarashi3025]

Bromeliad sounds like it came right out of virtual villagers or plant tycoon. Beautiful soundtrack.

[@evo683]

Dude I just realized this guy also made the OST for Cobalt Core. No wonder that game's music goes so hard!

[@ElFlxen_]

Excellent soundtrack, it reminds me of the first c418 songs, such as Bromeliad reminds me of Cat, excellent balance between the classic soundtrack and the new.

[@leezpunkbrooke]

Aaron Cherof's A Familiar Room. I just had the pleasure of listening to this for the first time, and it strikes me almost like a RPG piece where you're spending the night in a room or at a campsite, reflecting on the day's events and preparing for a long night. Very fitting for its name.

[@laggywarden2915]

I don’t get how people don’t like these songs;( my sister hates them and thinks their “annoying” these are supposed to make you feel calm and feel like your going on an adventure. In the over world it’s supposed to be calm. The nether terrifying and lonely. The end mysterious and lonely.

[@holydoggo4822]

Crescent Dunes goes SO FUCKING HARD

[@linkmc14]

These tracks are really beautiful! I hope they hire this guy for the next updates because I love these styles of tracks and I think they fit the game better. Now don't get me wrong, I think Lena Raine did a fantastic job with the nether update, because her style fits really well with the weirdness of the nether, but it just doesn't work with the overworld as well in my opinion.

[@coyote-brawlstars696]

Well the best thing would be if multiple composers make the next update theme

[@andrewoid4711]

It takes a lot of talent and skill to make something new sound nostalgic

[@broncosdude247]

So excited for this update!

[@thesinisterpotato1708]

the first song hit me hard... thx for making this The Minecraft Architect...

[@hyliankirbythesecond]

I feel like JUST because of the _Echo in the Wind_ track we need metal and wooden wind chimes added. Just as a little atmospheric touch.

[@joeyturncoat420]

We need more atmospheric sounds in general

[@Josh-hv2ze]

@@joeyturncoat420 really just atmospheric anything like fireflies(lol) or wind or something would be cool, wind might be overdoing it tho

[@joeyturncoat420]

@@Josh-hv2ze stg that excuse for no fireflies was the dumbest thing I've ever seen

[@someth1ngstupid]

I really like this music, it's style is so refreshing and I know it'll be even better when I actually hear it in the game.

[@gagethepropcollecter]

Cresent dunes is already going to be considered nostalgic for me in like 5 years Definitely gives off a C418 vibe

[@Mattia0113]

che bello vedere su youtube un VERO appassionato di Minecraft italiano

[@HackySacksCommandBlocks]

I’m just gonna put this out there because it’s been bugging me lately. Do any of you feel that Minecraft is a different game now? I don’t even know how to play the game anymore. The game gives off a different vibe than it did before. I miss 1.9 where the swords weren’t all shiny, and the glass was ugly, and most of the ores looked the same. (Despite them being different colors.) The updates are all different in their wacky ways. But the feel of the music still stays the same. Is that what makes the music special? I wouldn’t know.

[@fanta4life360]

crescent dunes was the first thing i heard ingame and i knew i was welcome

[@gosim0758]

i am a Minecraft player since 2010. My brother showed it to me when i was only five and the fact i can remember it is just beautyfull ;). Maybe because of alpha i just can't listen to new songs. I don't know why but it is strange at some point. Listening to C418 always get me nostalgic every time, still remember my first house made of wool and some materials i found.

[@SergeantRen2048]

My favourite in this update is Echo In The Wind. I don't know why but it has this odd, calming vibe that seems to bring my mind to peace even in the most chaotic times...

[@d_savage9019]

Crescent Dunes gives me Stardew vibes and i love it

[@drewie98]

I love stardew valley

[@BluWolf49]

Good to see Aaron’s finally getting his well deserved reputation now. Loved his other albums too.

[@OnimoIndustries]

I’m not going to be a gatekeeping extremist but I just feel like C418 started this journey and he should rightfully be the one to continue it and end it. Especially after pigstep because although it’s a banger it just doesn’t match what Minecraft was established as.

[@Daniel-gr8dm]

i dont have words to describe those wonderful music...! pure fairy in the ears! Fantastic job

[@MichaelJimenez10]

Echo In The Wind is by far my favorite

[@talalmuhammad8905]

Echo in the Wind is the deepest soundtrack in the world to me. Every time I listen to it I just want to cry
