Why Minecraft Replaced C418 With Lena Raine...

The Musician So Good, She Replaced Minecraft’s C418...
Lena Raine has managed to replace c418 for Minecrafts Composer slot in just over 5 years. But from barely breaking even to becoming an icon for millions. How she did it will shock you... I Spent about 200 hours creating this video and every element in it so if you could sub or follow elsewhere it would really mean a lot.

I actually like the new minecraft music! I just wish that mojang wouldn't replace the C418's old music with the new one. The new music is a lot more atmospheric and more fits the newer minecraft at some moments, but the old music should still play as often as it played before. I just hope that the old music will still be relevant while Lena Raine will make music with her own style.

[@ElGrenier]

And wow Amazing ! C418's music is still in the game, what a SHOCK !

[@prismoth]

@@lukasfojtik7950 the thing is c418 was never replaced with lena raine's music. it's just played alongside her music

[@lukasfojtik7950]

Yes, but from my experience playing (and logically it makes sense, when there is more music to choose from) the music from c418 plays rarely. I would like Minecraft music to play maybe a bit more often, so i would still hear the new music, without sacrificing the old ones

[@niftylittlename]

​​@@lukasfojtik7950in what biome do you live in? In plains, c418 music seems to play 50% of the time from my experience, in forests and caves, more like 1/5 songs.

[@laemma64]

Reading some of the comments I can already see that no one got to see the video until the end, Lena has not come to replace what C418 did at the time, her style of music and composition is quite recognizable like others like Toby Fox, Laura shigihara or C418 himself, she is trying to create her own thing, not what others have done

[@cybWasHere]

not viewers faults if said youtuber does clickbaity titles

[@BarnesReal]

How is it clickbait @cybwashere are you dumb 😭 she literally replaced him.

[@zackbot_]

@@BarnesReal definitely not replaced. if she replaced him, that would mean that c418's music would be removed and, well, REPLACED with lena raine's. lena isn't a replacement, she's just expanding on the foundation c418 made and putting her own spin on it

[@BarnesReal]

@@zackbot_ when I’m saying replace I’m referring to filling in. Cause she’s technically replacing his spot.

[@zackbot_]

@@BarnesReal ah alright, thanks for clarifying! i do agree though, her stuff could never truly match the magic that c418's has

[@theredrighteye4380]

We will know if Lena’s music is good if the kids that are playing Minecraft now are feeling nostalgia in 10 years when they are listening to her music. Only then we will know if Lena’s music is good.

[@BlinciMinecraft]

You cooked this video, both have iconic lasting era's for one of the biggest games on earth

[@Zephy3]

Minecraft fans are so stuck in the past. They struggle so hard to see any form of change in what they see as "perfect," so when c418 stopped making music for the game, these people got it in their head that whoever made more music needed to make it exactly like the old stuff. No, Lena's music isnt exactly like c418 music, but it doesnt need to be. It creates a wonderful effect regardless. People love to judge her work and only ever rate her music as it compares to c418, which isnt fair. Her music still creates wonderful images in my mind and brings back memories of my time playing Minecraft. Her use of motifs and ambience still very much carries many attributes of c418's work, but its meant to be new and different at the same time.

[@AceCJay]

Personally, I absolutely love and adore lena raines music, but I understand why some people dont

[@malte3994]

She in my opinion really did a good job at recreating the feelings c418 gave

[@ElGrenier]

C418 music was never removed, they are still in the game, you can still hear them alongside Lena's, Kumi and others composers music

[@heroslippy6666]

I honestly hold great respect for C418. He missed out on a lot of money in order to keep his rights over the music he makes. That takes a lot of strength to do.

[@tuwubah]

Shes such a queen! Ive been following her work since she wrote for Celeste and shes gotten better and better!

[@ultrazombieYT]

I think if they want to replace C418's music with Raine's, they should add all of C418's as music discs, or make an option for classic Minecraft music to play alongside or instead of the new music.

[@chararaltacc]

Imo, she did not replace C418, just like new Minecraft does not replace old one. She's doing something different, something new, and same goes for new minecraft.

[@SleepyBear_SB]

I like some of Lena Raines Minecraft music but there is something off about it compared the C418’s. Like whenever you hear Moog City, Sweden wet hands, blocks, or Minecraft. You know what each of those songs are. But with the new Minecraft music it all just sounds the same (to at least me) like whenever you hear infinite amethyst, left to bloom, wending or floating dream. You could swap any of those songs and nobody would notice. But a ome of this is probably just nostalgia for C418’s old work.

[@slsthewriter1299]

This. I honestly do like a lot of the music, but it feels like a *shift* in change rather than an evolution, which is not inherently Lena's fault. That falls into the overall design of the game and her music's incorporation.

[@NYCWalIcrawler]

I definitely feel it's the nostalgia factor that affects how c418's music impacts you. Some of the older Lena Raine songs for me personally are starting to become nostalgic for me, and while of course they are different some what, they are definitely minecraft.

[@varunagrawal7036]

You've heard those songs by C418 hundreds and hundreds of times over several years. Given time, I feel Lena's work will also stand out just as much.

[@NYCWalIcrawler]

@varunagrawal7036 i just installed a music pack called "recued" which will ideally give me a chance to listen to her and the other new non c418 music along side the c418 music at a reasonable balance. 👍

[@Gigi4u]

She is at her best when not trying to emulate C418s overworld music. This can be seen clear as day in the nether and ancient citys were she has full creativ freedom.

[@KinderOff]

C418 sounds more like a classic minecraft, Lena Raine fits better with the modern minecraft

[@arisuwatermelon555]

Thank you for shedding light on an amazing creator I barely knew anything about despite playing regularly minecraft and always hearing her songs in the background. For the people mad in the comments, it's not about "replacing" C418, it's about adding new artistic touches to a game enjoyed by millions. Great video dude! :D

[@surelynotdan]

To be honest, I like Lena Raine’s music

[@bokchoininja]

Both are good

[@ricidk]

nobody can replace C418 in my heart but her music is good

[@bladonski]

the soundtrack C418 composed for this game is an absolute masterclass and in my opinion singlehandedly created the strange lonesome semi surrealist "feel" of old minecraft. Lena's music doesn't jump out to me from a narrative or atmospheric context like C418's soundtrack did. It's actually legit one of the best video game soundtracks ever made when judged as a soundtrack, not as an album (judging songs based entirely on how they add to the game experience and your emotions as you play, not as songs themselves). The only other soundtrack I can think of that comes close in this regard is Yume Nikki's soundtrack as it similarily to minecraft's also singlehandedly creates Yume Nikki's unique & otherworldly atmosphere and makes you feel something special while playing you would not be able to feel without the soundtrack.

i love listening to otherside and infinite amethyst. but then bloody mojang yet again changed the song makers twice. it went from lena to samuel amberg. then from samuel to aron cheif. and then they kept aron, whilst also bringing back lena for both the original and music box version of creator. MOJANG MAKE YOUR BLOODY MIND UP ON WHO YOU WANT TO MAKE MUSIC

[@astropult9377]

Imo, C418 is really just nostalgia while Lena Raine is music to actually jam out to. If you want fun, Lena Raine’s music is to go. If you want to go back to memories, C418’s music is to go.

[@malte3994]

What is this absolute banger song in the end cut goggle can't find it

[@typicalgentleman]

I dislike Lena Raine's Minecraft music simply because nobody can come close to C418's style. It's not just nostalgia, either. Anyone could recognize C418 from his non-Minecraft albums, which can't be said about Rena. She's stuck between her own variety of music and C418's, making her contribution to Minecraft confusing and unsatisfying.

[@webbyoyster]

Exactly. All I can think of is Celeste when I listen to her Minecraft music

[@leonesquel6761]

She needs to get more variety in her music

[@_Caleb_Water_]

Bro it’s not nostalgic bc you didn’t listen to it when you were playing Minecraft 10years ago. Music is a Carrier for nostalgia, you get nostalgia for being in a state of freedom, like in Minecraft.

[@madhunter6420]

its a he. dont call it a she. cuz its a man

[@user-xt4gh7tn9p]

minecraft is not bound tô c418, minecraft is a different game from what it was when Daniel made music for it, but people refuse to understand this

[@Holo1470]

I think Lena Raine’s music fits Minecraft’s gradual transition to more and more complex ideas, but overall Minecraft to me personally is about the simplicity and calmness of the game that the older versions and music have. I like Pigstep and Otherside but I overall much prefer the more chill, nostalgic, and simple feel that the C418 brings with the vast majority of his Minecraft music

[@Mkat620]

I like all the music, old and new, but I just wish Microsoft wouldn't be so stingy about basically everything that gets added to the game, that way we could see more from C418

[@SomudaiX]

I might not like the new Minecraft music as much as the old music, I love some of the songs Lena has made for Minecraft as much if not more than C418 songs that are in Minecraft. They are all good songs in their own right

Ngl i they way that the music is is kinda perfect dividng the game in two eras From 1 to 1.12 is c418 the era of the programmer art and classic mods And to 13 to now is lena raine with jappas art and a whole new slew of mods And just saying i think in 1.24 things will change again Maybe aron cheerof will become the new main composer Maybe they are gonna change again the textures

[@pixeldcat]

Just another note, C418 isn't mad at Lena for being the current music producer of minecraft, and stands with trans rights having called out some transphobia towards her because her music is in the game.
