I dont know how Mojang can make character development for the Nether even though it's just an inanimate dimension, but somehow they made it from "ooh scary bad place" to a home that you aren't welcome in, It doesn't exist to just torment the player but is just a place that is unfamiliar.

[@ianlehman8342]

Well, it is named and meant to be another "dimension," so developing it like they have makes it complete as a dimension ought to be. Now that it's a "unwelcoming home" and unfamiliar place, it really is like another dimension to parallel the overworld, just like the end had been developed to reflect that

To the people thinking that C418 is no longer making music for Minecraft... C418 still has an album planned for Minecraft, and he said it would be bigger than both Volume Alpha and Volume Beta. So, that means that both Lena and C418 will compose the music for Minecraft. Both of them are incredibly talented composers, and having both of them working on Minecraft music just makes the perfect combination. I really cannot wait to see what they have next.

[@tonythegreat4275]

I think the piglins should be at war constantly with the pigmen, and that the pigmen should have cross bows too, and as the player without full gold armor both will kill you, on hard difficulty it is hell so it shouldn't be a peaceful world, the ghasts could be the protectors of the world so they only attack beings from the over world but everything else should try and kill each other. It's been like 20 years Minecraft needs better AI especially now that there is a new high end block game in town called Hytale. Spread the word.

[@Jeff4theRaid]

exa@@tonythegreat4275 there's small examples of that in guardians killing squid, wolves with sheep, fox with chicken, but those are all animals, the piglins do attack the pigmen, so I'd expect them to be able to be overrun by the pigmen attacks and not just take it like a sheep, but with other types I feel it's too easy to get them to fight if it was all for all. The way I see it, pigmen are going to be at a level with zombie villagers, so you can guide them, cure them, and trade, but since they are smarter as both a pigman and piglin, it will be tricky to interact with, unless you use double speed, prepare a piston trap in the overworld, and cure them, but the same type shouldn't fight, undead, illagers/ witches, but definitely the "sentient" types should be more self aware, like pillagers should target mobs, but not how they target villagers so you can exploit them by drawing them to a trapped zombie, and even a witch should attack dumb monsters outside their hut that get too close to the property. They are mobs, but villager species nonetheless, so naturally they shouldn't be a monster among monsters, but not just constant random confusion

[@Jeff4theRaid]

@@tonythegreat4275 also, instead of going to games like hytale, people can just play with Minecraft mods and do whatever kind of additions fit their playstyle, it's kinda got a cult following

[@talis61]

First 3 minutes seems too tuneful at first (nice but too melodic, almost as if the composer wants to give us something we can whistle/hum to) which isn't what the Nether is - however from 3 minutes on - just wow!! Strange how the shittest part melodically (>3 mins) is actually the most masterful; then score music is like that, so 3 mins - unnerving/dissonant (the way it should be and fits C418's VERY unnerving stuff)....so all in all you are probably right lol

I think the game deserves every right to have good music. If you take a stop to think about it, Minecraft is an amazing game, and I'm not just saying that like I don't know. If you take a moment to look at minecraft through the perspective of a person who never heard of it, Minecraft is a game with infinite possibilities. It's so creative and fun. You can play minecraft in any play style. Wanna play a survival type game? Survival! Wanna build sculptures and builds? Creative! Wanna make a cool exploration map? Adventure! Wanna make a custom game of your own? Command blocks! Wanna play online with thousands of people in all sorts of games? Servers! There is no limit to Minecraft, it is always expanding, and it will always remain the best game no matter what.

Whenever I’m in the Nether, I don’t just feel like I’m in a hellish dimension anymore. I feel like the devs really outdid themselves on this update. It’s not just endless amounts of netherrack and lava. It’s interesting. Whenever one of these songs play, especially the first one, I feel like my player character. I imagine what the Piglins would be thinking about me if they suddenly saw a man with a strange face walk in with armor that they haven’t seen before and gold boots. I imagine what the Bastion Remnants used to look like in its prime. I feel there. I feel like every step I take has meaning, and yet it can all end in an instant with this new Nether. The forests, the new mobs, the new biomes. It’s perfectly balanced, and rewards exploration heavily. It gives a use for gold. It gives us new light sources and recipes. It pits rivalries between mob races. And best of all, it gives a hint towards the fact that we aren’t the only intelligent species in Minecraft. Outstanding update.

I noticed the name for “so below” was familiar. Then I remembered it is part of the phrase “As above, So below”, which can be connected to two origins: The phrase, and the movie. The movie is interesting, as it is based on the catacombs and the layers of hell. Obviously, the Nether is literally hell. But, Soul sand, as e name implies, is connected to the Essence of the deceased. The Basalt delta also seems to be the bottom layer, the caves of the nether. As for the phrase, this one is more philosophical. “As above, so below” means that the grander society/universe is reflective of the day to day life. The pits of hell in which suffering flourishes, in this context, is an offset to the problems of the world. The nether is the below. Maybe we’ll get an overworld song called “As Above”.

[@NotBopEtc]

You, my friend, are amazing, I love these connections and I really hope that we do get a song called as above

I think the piglins should be at war constantly with the pigmen, and that the pigmen should have cross bows too, and as the player without full gold armor both will kill you, on hard difficulty it is hell so it shouldn't be a peaceful world, the ghasts could be the protectors of the world so they only attack beings from the over world but everything else should try and kill each other.

I've seen a lot of older players saying that C418 should have made the music and while I would love that too, Lena's music fits the Nether, it's different to the Overworld, the two places are complete opposites and I think that having two different artists for two vastly different places is a great idea and that if an End update comes there should be a third artist so that each dimension has a different feel to it. The Overworld and C418's music feels calm while the Nether and Lena's work makes it seem like a mysterious and forgotten land and her music absolutely fits that vibe.

Minecraft has consistently been in my life, it's gone beyond any other media. No movie, no book, no music or any other game has stayed with me both throughout my childhood and my adulthood. I started playing in the late years of elementary school and now I'm about to have my first child. Seeing how minecraft has grown in popularity again has given me hope, I know that initial spark of curiosity that led me to play and build for myself isn't going anywhere, not for me or the younger generation. I think this game touches on human nature, not emotion like other media but nature. To explore, to discover, to design, to build and to grow. I know a new game will eventually take it's place but nothing will in my memories. Thank you mojang, notch and importantly all of you for continuing the legacy of this beautiful game.

So Below is the standout track of this update. It sounds at once ancient, grim, regal and tragic. The implication of tectonic activity within the basalt delta biome, and the relative light/visibility in that biome compared to the rest of the Nether, almost gives the impression that you could be close to the overworld--that all you'd have to do would be to dig up and you'd break through to the light of day. Yet the driving music counters that impression, setting the Nether up as a harrowing, inescapable place.

I have a theory, something, an entity of unimaginable power, like we’ve never seen before, destroyed the nether. Long ago, the nether was full of life and like a second over world, but as more humans started to move in, they realised something was wrong. There was a small group of natives in the nether who hated the humans for taking their home from them, they used all they had to summon the entity which then corrupted the nether, the humans tried to fight back, but they were corrupted too, so were the natives and all the land and sea, they turned into ghasts, piglins and others, some of the human’s charred remains were reanimated into the wither skeletons. Some of the more powerful ones were put into soul sand as a punishment. The entity eventually escaped into the overworld, and started killing the humans there too, but strong group was able to destroy it, or at least trap it. Only one human survived it all, and that’s the one we play as.

To the people comparing the old Nether pieces to the new, you're just itching for a fight aren't ya? Both C418 and Lena composed beautiful pieces of art that tell the story of the Nether quite well.

I actually felt tears coming in when I heard So Below, even if it isnt an old song. Its instruments and notes sound so similar to older minecraft songs, which is why So Below is beautiful to me. Chrysopoeia gives the Crimson Forests a strange feel, the look is intimidating, but the song makes it seem strange and ethereal almost. Rubedo has this echo feel, which makes the wastelands seem vast and huge, and it gives a new feel to the wastes even though they were what made up the entire nether before. It makes you feel as if... as if these empty wastes aren't places you built cobblestone bridges in, and lost your stuff in, and fought ghasts in, but like an abandoned area, collapsing, being forgotten, as they are devoid of life in this landscape of burning fire and hot ashes. Its.... sad... because its true. We're spending a lot of time in awe over the Basalt Deltas, the Soulsand Valleys, the forests and the new blocks, that we're forgetting what the nether first was. These wastes. These annoying wastes that we lost our diamonds in. Yet these memorable wastes that we felt accomplished even getting to.

[@sirgrem2988]

Now that's a soundtrack that I'm gonna like. Pardon my writing spree, since music like these always give me those feelings. (Cryochamber, hey!) 0:02 - So Below Upon entering the Nether, I could feel the searing heat hitting my face. Such difference from the other world that I came from, and from behind the portal exists a wide world -- basalt, and strange sand that whispers indefinitely and cliffs of lava. It feels amazing, otherworldly, and beautiful for some reason. As you went further into the fiery darkness of the Nether, you feel unsafe, what had caused this change of emotion, you ask yourself? Amidst the dark exists creature beyond your very imagination, ghastly looking creatures, deformed men, and stranger civilization that exists afar that seems to glow red and crimson. You feel unwelcome, but you want to explore this strange world that you have come into. 5:26 - Chrysopeia Upon entering that said civilization that seems to glow crimson, you find yourself in a crimson forest filled with animals that resembles the Overworld and overly hostile to your presence. Their civilization too are hostile to you, but seemed to have attraction to gold that is scattered around the Nether itself. You wore one gold jewelry and they greet with respect and honor, mingling with them in this strange world and this strange civilization gave you a sense of hope and something else. What was this world before? But nonetheless, you continue to mingle with the deformed pigs and men and to learn from them. 10:33 - Rubedo You glimpse a waste, world of wastes and radioactive stones that seemed to glimmer in the dark and yet you cannot see it yourselves. Wild lands filled with nothing but lava and magma, pouring off the cavern walls and the roof of the Nether and miles of the same red rock. It has an echo of before, a beautiful world now deformed and you find yourself freezing at the feeling that this world gave you. Upon walking upon the hills, the mountain, and the walls of the Nether Wastes, you find yourselves upon a mountain scattered with the same rocks and lava that pours off the wall. You slowly climb and climb until you find yourself staring upon the vast Netherworld, the ghastly creatures in the air seems to cry off in the distance and the creature in the lava seemed to travel and communicate with each other. From afar, you can still catch a glimpse of that previous civilization you encountered earlier. But, you see something. A glimmering dark fortress rising from the lava, your challenge has been found. What will be found in those halls, what sort of monstrosity is there? What sort of welcoming feeling that you will receive or you will be not welcomed at all in the halls of the forgotten civilization? [Probably continues in Concrete Halls or something, from the old Nether soundtrack.]

This does make me think about what the nether really is though and what it used to be. Is it an alternative dimension where everything went wrong due to a strange presence? Or is this some sort of natural place that has always existed in that form unchanged? very thought provoking.

[@sirgrem2988]

@@lewis9s Perhaps. It could be the first or the latter-- the first one would answer the existence of nether fortress, hanging above bubbling lava and magma in ruins. The zombie pigmen and the ghasts existence. The latter, however, would explain the strange adaptability of the creature that is in the Nether, such as Ghasts and/or Striders. It may also explain how vegetables survived in the crimson forest, as it seemed impossible for the plant life of absorbing liquid such as lava or heat from the fiery lands.

The fires of hell fade away as you step into this new world of stone and ash, pillars stretching up into the red ceiling. The soft yet unforgiving white particles of ash slowly fall onto your form as you walk through the land, filling you with calmness. But yet, you do not feel complete calm, not fully calm. You feel unease. You feel like you aren’t supposed to be here. As if the land itself is watching you. You turn around slowly and find nothing but the infinite valley of stone and basalt before you, the lava below an endless expanse of tranquil, calm liquid that could kill you in an instant. You still cannot shake the feeling. You head onwards for hours until you stop again. The stone still stretches past all you have walked through, and stretches through all you will walk. You feel like you will never leave this place. Your eyes lock onto a colossal structure of bone, a fossil of a colossal being that was here before you. What could have killed it? Suddenly, you hear shrieks in the distance. You were right. This world doesn’t want you down here.
