Why Minecraft Replaced C418 With Lena Raine...

The Musician So Good, She Replaced Minecraft’s C418...
Lena Raine has managed to replace c418 for Minecraft's 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.

I don't think people are arguing who's music is fundamentally better, but more so who's music is better for minecraft In my opinion C418s music is legendary and will never be beaten, it was perfect for what Minecraft was, if Minecrafts soul was in the form of music that was C418s music. Lean Raines music is really good, and sometimes i think she makes a soundtrack that fits really well. But overall, it doesn't capture Minecrafts soul nearly as perfectly. She makes good music, but the question is does she make good Minecraft music? Too that I say, yes i think she does at times, but C418s was perfect and pretty much every single soundtrack he made was iconic and perfect for what Minecraft is.

Exactly. C418 was perfect for Notch's Minecraft. An oasis of creativity, fun memories with friends and the joy of discovery. A brand-new, beautiful and frightening world of wonders, ready for you to sink hundreds upon hundreds of hours into. A beautiful piece of art, made by a passionate artist. Lena is perfect for Microsoft's Minecraft. A soulless, corporate husk devoid of direction, designed to make as much money as possible through cutting corners, with lazy devs and corporate slaves calling themselves "musicians", who in reality are ready to stab their fellow colleague in the back for a crumb of that multi-trillion company's dollar. This game was gone after Microsoft bought it, and the complete spit on the face of the musican who made this game what it used to be, was the final nail in the coffin. I have zero respect for Lena and other greedy, pathetic corporate bootlickers who stole Rosenfeld's place.

[@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. EDIT: this could also be because Minecraft gets more music every update now instead of every few updates.

[@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.

[@NJWebCrawler]

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.

[@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.

c418 never stopped making music for the game it was microsoft who didnt let him to make music for it

[@corneliusmcmuffin3256]

@@alen4704I think it’s this that leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Lena and C418 have entirely different methodologies and only one of them lined up with a profit driven corporation. Lena wants to share her music influence others and cares little about ownership of her music, just the impact, c418 wants to own his music and it’s a completely reasonable thing to want, he doesn’t do it for the money or fame but out of the craft itself. They are 2 respectable people but one gets shafted because of greed. It’s sad but we don’t live in a perfect world.

[@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.

She was working at ArenaNet as a game designer and was a tester for nintendo at some point and probably just did music on her own time. She did write a few game soundtracks before Celeste, but Celeste seems like it was the stepping stone to becoming a full time freelancer which led to all the other opportunities she's had

As much as I love Lena Raine music, I miss C418s music so bad. I love the simplicity of C418s music and I love Lenas energetic beat. I honestly don't get why Microsoft didn't want to work with him anymore.. 🫤🙁 SIDE NOTE: Lena didn't replace C418. Microsoft simply chose Lena to be the new music maker for Minecraft and I completely think her music works and its great although it might not bring back the same feeling as C418 had in his music its still great regardless and they're both different artist with different styles so I understand. Honestly not a lot of people think Lenas music doesn't fit as much as C418s does but I do. They both feel like Minecraft to me.

I like how instead of trying to replicate what C418 has masterfully done, Lena tries to bring new light to Minecraft's soundtrack and create something original, leaving her signature on the game.

[@KitKitsuneVixen]

i like Lena Raine's minecraft music. the only one i think might not fit the game perfectly is the recent track "Eld Unknown" because i feel it may be too active and tense for most situations. i think the best non-C418 minecraft track currently might be Featherfall by Aaron Cherof. It's very soft, rhythmic and entrancing. Maybe i just feel it suits the game because it's closest to C418, but i do think it works super well for what minecraft is. Komorebi by Kumi Tanioka is amazing too, despite being differently composed/arranged to Featherfall and the C418 music. Those examples are all recently released tracks though so there may be some recency bias. and of course Lena Raine's nether update soundtrack fits the dimension incredibly well. i think in the two camps of "C418 vs Lena Raine" i'm somewhere in the middle. i think C418's style generally works best for the game, but i understand that Minecraft is an ever evolving game, and that includes the music. I welcome change but i'm also naturally skeptical towards the new music, and i won't say any new music is bad just for not being C418.

I KNEW IT. I thought I was going crazy but c418s music is barely in the game these days. Thank you for confirming I’m not crazy

what a cool well put and interesting documentary wrapped into an incredibly rage baity click baity title and thumbnail. sad.

C418's music was great for what minecraft was at the time, and Lena's music is better for what minecraft is today, that's it

To me, I think Lena is a great musician. Obviously, you can't fill in the shoes of a titan but she has a style that really works for Minecraft. I recall seeing online that C418 himself chose her as his successor, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, I think Minecraft still has a great soundtrack, even with the newer songs.

I think lena's music it's ok, not to say its great or bad some tones fit in Minecraft some don't, but still are Ok, but if Mojang was thinking to replace C418 to Lena i would be pissed, every year the game gets more updates and modernized everything but also keeping the old things what made Minecraft as big and popular today. I also know for a fact that Lena is transgender and to just clarify that doesn't bother me even tho I'm straight, but i do respect the work she does to make it as memorable as some tones did with C418, maybe she hasn't gotten there yet but eventually and with more creativity she will be in the top of those games and tones that made it memorable. Who knows, we would never know until we see it happen in the future, as for C418 he stays as a legend and no one can't or could never replace his music from Minecraft for it, it's what made it so iconic to begin with. Every opinion is welcome, after all, they're just opinions. Have a great day.

why the transness mention lol? that has nothing to do with her music.

TLDR C418 is not being replaced with Lena Raine. They are keeping C418’s music in the game. Lena is just making recognizable music for the game like C418.

[@knapenmael4937]

Her music suck

[@justyourdailymate2272]

I remember watching Stampy Cat, my first ever Minecraft KZbinr I watched when I was 4 in 2014, sounds a bit too young arguably. But neither the less, over those videos, I would hear C418’s Haggstorm OST. It had a beautiful and peaceful vibe, when listening to it the first time, it felt nostalgic and feels more nostalgic when hearing it today.

[@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

[@bradugar]

When I heard Infinite Amethyst by Lena for the first time it felt Nostalgic & already Iconic from a first listen. Perfect for Minecraft. It's a shame you can only hear it in Lush Caves as the track is that good, wouldn't mind if it played just anywhere in the overworld aside the deep dark.

[@MCLegend13]

Lena Raine makes some great soundtracks but they never feel like Minecraft, C418 is the sound of Minecraft he built the atmosphere and brought the Game to life with his music. I do like Lena Raines soundtracks but to me they really never felt like Minecraft in the way C418s does.

[@kluttglutt6648]

I mean i also prefer the c418 albums but i wouldnt say that lenas albums are bad they are still good but i wish they would keep working with c418 and they could collab and combine both their ideas

Yo. Fun Fact. C418 released those 3 "unreleased" discs are out now. The third album is truly and finally out. The links will be put in the reply section.

"Elias Raine"? very curious as to where you got your information from, but that hiccup aside, very well made video!

[@SonicEclipse456]

The title of this video is kinda wrong, they didnt replace C418's music with Lena Raine's since the tracks from both artists still play in-game.
