The History of Minecraft's Music - What Happened to C418? 

Maybe even 2 generations mmm more like 1.5

@B O ꓭ Probably still gonna be big but a big buuuut will be that it's most definitely gonna be less endearing and people wouldn't get as attached to it compared to today, and the game will stand-out less.

I’ll be ur 1k like 👍🏻

@B O ꓭ it would but you only feel the true minecraft experience when C418 music start to play. When you are chilling alone like you never did before, amaze by your shitty cobblestone house. But it doesnt matter because is your home and the sun is rising up for a new cubic day, maybe tomorrow you play minecraft with your friends, maybe not but you have something to build now that you end your house.

Yeah

At first I was like "Grr why can't we get Minecraft music in smash that sucks!" but now it makes perfect sense to me

That makes actual perfect sense, a shame nonetheless. But arguably I’d say I’m not sure that C418 should be the one to make the soundtrack for the smash game. Rather anyone else from the mess that it is now. Organised and respected mess of course ;d

The C in C418 stands for CHAD

This is why copyright laws need to be overhauled. To allow use of music without the unnecessary complexity of the current system. It's almost abusive...

@@MasterChaosL100 almost?

It most certainly would be different. Sad to see that he probably won't be making any more music for the game though :(

He made LOTS of music before Minecraft, I don't remember the exact amount of years but it's above five.

I remember when I was 6 and I was playing Minecraft with my brother and we built a big house and a farm

He HAS made music before. I highly recommend checking out his other stuff, it’s really under-appreciated.

He made loads of music before, not much of it is online. He also wrote a few videogame soundtracks before Minecraft, although they were very small hobby projects and he doesn't publish those anymore.

Just play volume beta at my funeral, thanks

I would argue that C418 made minecraft and would actually bring more than the new artists. Not saying that the artists are bad mind you, just that when people hear the name C418, they instantly listen and enjoy. There isn't a single minecraft player who doesn't enjoy his music where as some people don't like pigstep, infinite amethyst etc

@@King_WolfLIVE I guess his stuff just has something that can touch everyone, while the newer stuff was made for a specific biom, with specific genres and stuff.

I actually really like them. But, they do NOT bring the same nostalgia that C418s tracks do. Not even close. They are objectively good soundtracks, but they are not C418s soundtracks.

I believe if Lena's music was there to begin with and c418 came after, everyone would be nostalgic towards her music.

@@lunathecutest6652 Exactly. At the moment, though I love Lena's music, I prefer C418's. But after 5 years or so, when the former's starts to become more nostalgic, I'll love them both equally.

@@minoxiothethird stop complaining

​@@minoxiothethird Source: Dude, trust me

@@minoxiothethird chill, man. 1.8 is great and all, but I'm talking about latest versions music, the Microsoft one. Having music they don't own is a whole lot of trouble they can afford to avoid. Plus in my, not unpopular, opinion, new releases are amazing, especially considering you get them for free

i mean, yes, its not like the artists want their music to fall under somebody else's name. Lena wants their music to feel like it was made by Lena, and still be Minecraft, and the same with Kumi.

It's good they kept it in biome specific areas, meaning C418 is still the main theme, and any new additions won't take away anything from it, only adding parallel

Lena is so good tho ngl

very sad that the agreements didn’t work out for Dan, but his music stays iconic to the point that all the other composers just copy his style. the new music is alright but it will never be the same

It's not supposed to be the same. Like have you listened to pigstep

I agree but i do know why Mojang/Microsoft started going to other musicians for those who don’t know the reason why it’s because if Mojang wanted to do a Minecraft collaboration with a different game they can’t legally put in the C418 music and even if C418 agreed to allow his music in collaborations the other game company would not want it in there game sense it’s not legally owned by Microsoft and that opens up the possibility of lawsuits.

your pfp noooo

@@darth3911 Funny you mention this, because this is EXACTLY what happened with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate & the music that was added. That being said, I think that they might've contacted C418, but perhaps he declined to allow the team to create a fitting remix, hence why we don't have any songs from Minecraft itself.

nice try to get boosted subs

@A N G E L beta bot

True he's great

Yup

he still gets paid royalties and licensing fees so

Like the opposite of what Notch did. He sold the game and all rights to Microsoft.

@@brunnomenxa TBF, C418 only got to keep rights to his music because Notch wasn't rich at the time of their deal. Him not wanting to sell his music isn't integrity or anything nice like that, just pride even though artists selling their music to game companies is a normal thing.

Also, If I'm correct on this, c418 is passively generating income simply because Minecraft still uses his music. since it isn't owned by microsoft. They are paying him either licensing fees or royalties to use the music. Which is probably why they didn't go forward with him as well, they have to fork over money to use it. I will say here though, I am not 100% sure about this and it's solely my interpretation of how I think the system works, I may be wrong with what I'm saying here.

Southpark tegrity meme

I mean I woulda made the money instead

I don't think Microsoft would've gotten to the point of offering him millions, it already made sense for them to ditch C418 when clearly there were creators who'd sign away their content for much less. Sad but it is what it is.

@@johnsappleseed Yeah people like Lean Raine would gladly be bought out for way less than what could be offered to c418 simply because a lot of people want recognition, especially if it's a game like Minecraft. Barely anybody knew about Lena Raine until Celeste and Minecraft. It's just that popular and lucrative.

I don’t his music will be in the game for much longer honestly. Every update you hear C418’s music in-game a lot less frequently. I think they’re slowly adding so much new music so they have an excuse to remove his music which would make sense from Microsoft’s perspective. I hope the fanbase really retaliates if this happens

Yup... Microsoft in general just kind of sucks. Not a surprise tho, since when do giant corporations have good business practises lol

Unfortunately this seems common place same thing happened to two other legendary composers. Mick Gordon got screwed by Bethesda and Marti O’ Donnell got screwed by Activision.

@@Somethingaweful Marty also hasn't been contacted by Microsoft

@@Somethingaweful Eh, the Mick Gordon thing wasn't Bethesda's fault. Mick just never made all the songs he was supposed to on time, even though Bethesda gave him multiple delays. Trust me, Bethesda wanted Mick to do the soundtrack, but Mick didn't have that much interest it seems or just simply forgot. The fact that it came down to delaying the entire game just because it didn't have a soundtrack is indicative of Mick just doing the wrong thing. It's not black and white, but let's not act like Mick Gordon was innocent and betrayed when in reality he was given the full expenses and most leeway possible in the business just for him to not finish on time.

@Sasha Lemay java still feels good, bedrock is what’s disappointing

@@noahstrine8161 pigstep doesn't really bring that nostalgic kind of feel. The new tracks such as pigstep other side and all the ambient 1.16+ music is a vibe to say the least. But the reason why mc music is nostalgic is due to its simplicity, randomness and pure ambience just pushes the nostalgic vibe forward like aria math (my favourite) is made by only a couple of instruments. The new music being biome specific might be the reason why it doesn't pack the same punch as other tracks such as Sweden and mice on venus makes mundane tasks actually fun.

Meh, why change something that doesn't need to be changed.

it feels like mc is trying to distance themselves from c418

If Mojang had the choice, they'd absolutely put more c418 music in. However Microsoft is the issue, being a big company and all who wants to have ownership of the music before using it for anything since they don't wanna ask c418

To be fair, none of the tracks from the original Minecraft made it into the game whether they were composed by C418 or not so I doubt that has too much bearing on the situation

To be fair I do remember Sakurai saying that since most of Minecraft’s iconic music(mostly c418’s work) is calm and relaxing, it wouldn’t fit within smash bros. Now if that is true, then it makes some sense, but then again I’m pretty sure that not all music in smash isn’t calm and relaxing.

@@zealouswiz8789 It’s not nearly just that but they also want complete ownership of everything in the game incase of a lawsuit for a example Herobrine used to be in the default Xbox skin packs but Microsoft removed it because according to them it was not owned by them sense they did not create the character sense Microsoft doesn’t own the music it’s also vary likely that other games will refuse to put the music in there games C418 is probably ok with it being played in Smash but you also have to remember Nintendo is a company also and sense they don’t have a agreement with C418 do they really want to risk having a lawsuit for using it? the answer is clearly no.

I would stop playing if C418’s music was removed

Honestly, if microsoft removed C418's music, Minecraft wouldn't be Minecraft.

I hope

They're slowly phasing out most of it. Reducing the chances of it playing with each update. Like how they're slowly phasing out (Java edition) in favor of Minecraft. Yes, Bedrock is sold as minecraft, but java edition is sold as an edition. Bedrock is the main character in the story now. Because unlike java edition, the xbox account has less rights than the old mojang accounts. It allows them to sell you skins, datapacks, worlds, ect. Opening up microtransactions in game. That's Microsoft for you, what once was free will no longer be. Slowly phase out Java, but promise they're not going to. They're just manipulating new players into abandoning it so that the OG minecrafters will just die out.

C418's music makes me always play minecraft everytime, it also helps me sleep

Yeah cause as far as I could tell in game the other tracks still played in the meadow biomes and whatnot, it's just that the biome specific ones could *only* play in their own biome. I think it adds variety and a certain vibe to the biomes which is much needed. It's just a scaled down version of the nether and the end

Its not so much that - its that it was forced, not natural and certainly not built/well thought out.

Yes, or combining both.

Yeah, but it gets really annoying if you actually want to live in that biome. That's why I'm ultimately against the non- random music. It's only nice the first few times you hear it.

@@steamingpileofspaghetti9755 can’t other tracks still be played in the biome though? It’s just that the biome’s unique track is only playable in that biome, and not other biomes.

The music of new artists is good, this is a agreement, but the C418 music will not be replaced at all, cannot be recreated, this is not bad at all, will be 2 eras of minecraft in the soundtrack history. The Classic Minecraft Music - Include old disks, background musics and more The New Minecraft Music - new artists, disks, background musics and more

I don’t think Lena is trying to go for the same feel as C418 at all, which I am perfectly fine with. While I would also have been fine with keeping the music only to C418’s, I also feel like with how expansive and colourful Minecraft has gotten, keeping the OST to a single "colour" is kind of a missed opportunity. Please note that my point has nothing to do with making the tracks biome-specific. That’s an entirely different matter that isn’t really related to Lena and Kumi’s music.

I agree. I respect Lena Raine’s work, especially in Celeste, the emotion and feeling she puts into it warrants calling it art, but I just can’t get the Minecraft feel out of her music. To me, it just doesn’t fit in with the tone of the game. Kumi is a step in the right direction, I believe, and while it’s not the same as C418, it does feel more “‘Minecraft” than anything Lena has made so far. Again, love her work, it just doesn’t capture the feeling that C418’s music does for me.

@@rainingBrackets I don't mind the 2 new disc as much as the new overworld music, at least the disc is not supposed to replicate that game feeling of the game in general, the new 1.18 music though....

Go listen to his actual music, Minecraft isn't his only work

@@S0ME_GUY To all people who are willing to do this, may I heavily recommend his excursions album and dief albums. They are as good if not better than most minecraft songs

hello fellow joseph

@@CarlosAM1 "ONE" Album is a masterpiece especially the last song "Tsuki no Koibumi" a collaboration with Laura Shigihara

@@aletlee179 also good, but I personally prefer Excursions overall

Your profile pic with the music in the background is making me sad and happy at the same time

@mechakid37 I think they're just as good.

@@BVSSIC I dont think so. The old tunes just slap.

With Lena you can hear every instrument and know what it is. C418 you had no idea how he made his sound.

Wet hands

@@saschabinder2570the have a comfort to them like if your mom or grandma or just someone you love chose to play the piano for you and no one except you

Go listen to his other stuff, its just as good and even better than his work for minecraft

Well, big companies are terrible. They probably gave him an ultimatum that he had to give them all rights to his music or something else he didn't agree with. It's understandable that he'd want to keep ownership of his own music. And yes it's really sad and I wish there was another way but I'd prefer him not to do something he wouldn't like.

its a shame she had to give in to Microsoft owning her songs though. honestly this practice no matter how common is kinda garbage and its really giving composers the short end of the stick. c418 deserves ownership of his songs and so do Lena and kumi

@@xdMatthewbx Oh they absolutely do man. The thing is that Kumi and Lena are probably comfortable in this arrangement because Kumi is used to Square Enix owning all her music and Lena is trying to make a name for herself in the VGM scene. Artists do deserve to own the music they make, I 100% agree though

@@xdMatthewbx it's not really such a bad thing. You don't have to own all music you write

@@Vextrove No, it definitely is a bad thing. As a creator (artist, musician, animator, etc) you become attached to what you create. You don't just slap something together and ship it off. To make something of real substance you put your heart and soul into it. It becomes a part of you. So then if you sell the rights to it, it's like having that piece of you ripped out and taken away forever. Want to go back and make a redux of a song you wrote? Better hope the soulless multibillion dollar corporation lets you touch it. Because it's not yours anymore.

@@Vextrove you don't have to have anything. its what you should be able to have. this is a predatory practice on Microsoft's part and I respect c418 for standing up for himself. no ownership, no music. he deserves to own what he makes as do Lena and kumi. you don't need to breathe, you just deserve to be able to as without that you'll die. not exactly the same thing but the point is nothing is needed. some things are deserved though and I strongly believe this is deserved

Minecraft likely would have failed without good music.

@@Top-Code Or at the very very least; wouldn't have stuck in people's mind like at all.

@@Top-Code It was already a success before the music was added.

especially bedrock edition. that version is a shithole.

what happened?

@@duckyjoel5373 for one thing, they attempted to implement bans for swearing in private/LAN servers, which can’t be toggled off even if everyone’s ok with it, and works regardless of player count - which kinda sucked until they “mysteriously” gave up on that feature lmao

@@duckyjoel5373 they also push mojang to release twice a year, before school breaks, leading to unfinished features or broken promises. just look at this 1.19 update being referred to by the community as 1.17 caves and cliffs part 3

there have been a lot of good and bad changes. overall, i enjoy the game more with microsoft's big changes to the gameplay, but i see the problems with the corporate greed.

There is a reason why this type of practice is basically standard amongst any large media companies. A situation where the publisher itself does not own the rights to the music that they use is a legal nightmare. Any Minecraft fan would obviously say it’s worth it, but in a business sense, the decision is easy.

Notch would do the same if he had the money

It’s not just “Microsoft bad”, it’s a legal NIGHTMARE to not own the music in your multimillion dollar product, they’re not in the wrong for wanted to protect themselves legally.

@@BigMastah79 ok but they already dont own the c418 music in currently in the game? microsoft is just being overly corporate here. no artist should ever be forced to fully give up rights to their art, and its always a bad sign when it's required of them. c418 is not wrong for standing up for himself

@@mow_cat I’m not blaming C418 here. He has his motivations, and Microsoft does as well. No one here is right or wrong

He's our memory maker bro we need him back in Minecraft
