Nostalgic Minecraft Music with Cool Instruments

[@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.

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.

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.

[@actuallyasriel]

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.

[@itzkirbygaming1498]

Subwoofer lullaby sounds like a good example of a tune of loneliness because just by the sound of the song, if you heard it without knowing what Minecraft is you would probably think it sounds like a soft game over theme

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.

Cause Microsoft has financial interest in monetization exclusively. Notch made it for the game, not for the extreme monetization.

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

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!!

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).

[@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.

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

[@survivaljournalist8314]

Minecraft holds such a special place in my heart. From bottom the game up and just listening to the music, it just fuels your imagination. And the reason it holds such a special space in my heart is because of my little brother who died at 9 years old. Him and I would enjoy playing it on our days off from school. We'd always boot up the game when we were bored and wanted to just build. He grew Ill and we went to go get him a check up. Turns out, he had Late stage Lung cancer (No doubt from the smoking going on in the house from my father and mother) and after a long time of trying to get him treated, he just told us that he didn't want to live if he needed so many meds to even function. And so we let him die as he wished to. Before that day, i asked the doctor if i could hook up my gaming system to the TV in the Room so he could play his favorite game one last time. He got s guy to help us hook it up and i bought out the two controllers and we began to play. For a solid 2 hours we were playing and getting pretty far. Until, i saw his character stop moving entirely and heard the heart monitor do it's never ending beep letting you know that he passed away. To this day, i still Build on that world. I renamed it "7/12/2013" which was the day he passed. Rest in peace Seth. You will be missed brother.
