Track description

Template:C418 agreement File:Minecraft.ogg

"Minecraft" consists of a chiming piano playing a calm melody that begins to loop and is later joined by melancholy string chords, strummed or plucked strings (possibly a harp or a guitar) and a glockenspiel, as well as some ambient synth sounds in the background.

It is the first song that C418 made for the game, and was used as a framework by C418 for the other songs in the Minecraft soundtrack.<ref>Minecraft - Volume Alpha on C418.org</ref>

When hovering over the Template:3DS's icon, or the game card icon when the New Nintendo 3DS Edition cartridge is inserted, on the system's home menu, "Minecraft" can be heard for a few seconds, before returning to silence or the current theme's music.
The motif of "Minecraft" can be heard in several songs in the soundtrack:
- Minecraft - Volume Alpha: "Key", "Door", "Minecraft:Chris", and "Minecraft:Beginning".
- Minecraft:Minecraft - Volume Beta: "Alpha", "Minecraft:Mutation", "Minecraft:Beginning 2", "The End", "Wait", "Strad", and "Far".
