MineCraft

Minecraft may seem like a childish game to at first glance, and it is, an entire world made of blocks with lost of colors and fictional creatures, where one is forced to gather supplies and craft tools and build in order to survive. The only limitation is ones imagination in what can be created, that’s why it is one of the most popular game ever created with it being second in the world for most copies sold with 176+ million people buying it. But one of the greatest aspects of the game I will be talking about isn’t the game-play, no, I will be talking about the soundtrack which ranks as an all time favorite of mine. The soundtrack was developed by a man named Daniel Rosenfield, known as C418, in early 2011. He wasn’t apart of the actual company which created the game, Mojang, he was employed as a freelance sound designer. The most notable songs off of the soundtrack is the track called ‘Wet Hands’ which would play usually during sunset, and the other song being ‘Sweden which would play during sunrise.

Music like this helped to elevate the experiences when playing the game, fear when night comes, and relief when day comes, elevates to new heights when music is involved. For old players like myself, this soundtrack also provides a source of nostalgia from early childhood during summertime.
