[@Moshugaani]

I love it how it can be a good while of silence when playing, but then the music starts out of nowhere and it manages to feel like the most serene and emotional tune you've heard.

[@heyitsmeshane]

I think it sparsity of the music enhances the emotion of them. Back when you'd get drawn in to hours of playing and a song randomly starts playing and you snap into reality for a few moments. Can't be matched. Far Away by Jose Gonzalez gives a similar feeling in a way that I can't think of any other games have matched.

When I was a pre-K teacher, I would often play all minecraft music on a loop in the class (minus the nether music for obvious reasons) and the entire atmosphere of the classroom would be much calmer than the other classrooms. Naptime was also easier. I cant stand the classic lullabies and it gets really old, and the kids never really responded to it, but C418's minecraft music worked magic. When it was time for dancing, I would play the jukebox discs and they especially loved Strad which ironically is my favorite of the discs. Anyways, the handpans for Aria Math was beautiful as it is my absolute favorite of all soundtracks. Masterfully played, dude.

[@ARiiS5339]

In my eyes, or more like ears, most of minecraft’s songs are only the happy type of nostalgic because we associate good times with the music. I think they portray a clear tune of loneliness. In some it’s a peaceful kind while in others it’s sad and, well, lonely. Minecraft is just as much a masterpiece of a game as a musical concert

[@user-rl4tg2mr9n]

It makes sense. Minecraft started out as a single player game, and I guess C418 wanted to capture that feeling. The feeling of having a the world at your fingertips but no one to share it with.

More "peaceful solitude", to me.

[@iXenox]

I like the music a lot, it sounds very nice to me regardless of the game. I did not play Minecraft for long enough to build any nostalgia. Also the music has never reminded me of loneliness, though I can understand what people mean when they say it sounds lonely to them.

Oh man. I'm emotional. I remember building a little dirt home with my hubby the first time we played. We were so excited by every new discovery in the game. We learned so much about Minecraft and traveled our little world. We would set up a home and then gather supplies to see what was beyond the mountains, it was so fun. It was our bonding time once we put the little ones to sleep. As our kids grew up and took an interest in videogames, we gave them controls and they joined our world. We would run around and hunt and grow food, build towns and explore caves, searching for diamonds. I love this little game ☺️ EDIT: You're all so sweet 🤗 It's funny that I was playing Minecraft with one of my boys when I got a notification that I had some replies. You're all so kind and Im glad I was able to bring a bit of happiness to you.

that is because Java edition is still being managed by the original Mojang studio, by mostly original employees, but bedrock edition is handled by a newer Seattle studio, which I think is more directly controlled by Microsoft, and Microsoft doesn't give a single shit about making the game good, and instead just wants money, so they are ruining bedrock edition, but less so java edition

[@daft_mervy]

As a Pianist, I love watching videos like this and trying to piece together how the piano theory has been shaped and changed to fit each instrument. The marimba is built similar to a piano with its keys, the hand pans have all the notes but they are in different places, and the kalimba notes go back and forth in a ending/descending order. Fascinating!!

[@Klffsj]

It's always nice to see acoustic instruments replace synthetic/programmed sounds. A lot of "musicians" have no idea what awesome music a well-developed percussion set is capable of. I'd really like to hear a full-fledged cover of Minecraft's music with a creative use of real instruments. That could make an awesome resource pack!

[@JoePorterPercussion]

I love showing real instruments and not just electric sounds! I have a few full covers of different Minecraft songs now, Sweden, Wet Hands and Pigstep. Have a great day!

[@Klffsj]

@@JoePorterPercussion Oooo. I'll have to look at those. Thanks!

[@yimothyyarles7854]

Minecraft's soundtrack does use real instruments for a lot of it's songs (including some used here like the hand pan thingy), but also the synthetic sounds of minecraft's songs are also really iconic and give the songs that vibe of nostalgia.

[@GagePollock-cg2uc]

I really liked the small little taps you did at that the end in the original one, it made it even more nostalgic imo. I’d really like to hear that again

[@JarnoOverwijk]

Listening to the original, I would almost bet C418 used hand pans to create it. Perhaps they were dampened a bit, but otherwise it's very, very close.

[@Blazed_CR]

@@JoePorterPercussion Yes please do that :)

[@LightSpeedFury01YT]

I thing an under-tuned tongue drum would be closer

[@cama838]

I remember playing songs would just pop up and it would always feel like they come up at specific times. Minecraft would start randomly in the game. Sweden would always start in a clear field or high mountains. Subwoofer lullaby would start at sun rising. Sometimes before or after rain. Haggstron would start during the rain or thunder storm. Wet hands would always start sun set.

[@ironhelixgaming]

[@livedandletdie]

@@jex4762 It's because Microsoft wants to own the songs, the songs are technically C418s songs that Minecraft are using, but if C418s songs aren't there, no one would play minecraft anymore, because the new songs doesn't feel like C418. And because C418 didn't want to write music that he didn't own, Microsoft got rid of him.

Not sure if it's the intense nostalgia or what, but for some reason hearing all these almost made me tear up. Some of the best sounding covers of these I've ever heard. Incredible job as always.

I haven't actually sat down and played Minecraft in over a decade, and I forgot a couple of these songs existed.

[@somebody41]

I only started playing Minecraft a few years ago, but I still find myself sadly nostalgic for those earlier years of playing. So much has changed in just a few years... My attempts to relive those times through Minecraft are always somewhat futile though. Just teaches you to live in the moment, enjoy what you have, and perhaps put the devices away for longer in order to truly enjoy life then. I do enjoy Minecraft, but it's a love hate relationship. It, and technology in general, has become something I use to repress and distract. I write this knowing I should follow my own advice, but also knowing it's addictive hold. I don't mean to be a downer, I think it's fine to take a break and have fun, but for me it's taken over and it's something I need to get control of before more of my life and loved ones pass me by. So, yes, enjoy the music and the game and the memories, but don't forget to move forward and make new, important memories too, especially with those you love.

[@theunluckygamer4204]

Idk about other devices, but on xbox 1 there is two versions of minecraft. You can get the xbox 360 version of it (where they havent added updates for a while now) and bedrock addition. It's nice to sometimes go on the 360 version and remember how much simpler it was and play with the random people you met in minigames (that some people still play).
