Music

Minecraft contains music created by C418. The music plays at various points in game, including the main menu, in Creative mode, in the Nether, in the End, and during the credits. In the mobile versions of Bedrock Edition, music is classified as free DLC.

Overworld music
These music tracks are played when the player is in the Overworld.

Overworld music is played randomly. After a song ends, another song will start playing after a random amount of time from 10' to 20'.

Underwater music
These music tracks can be heard while the player's head is submerged in Water.

Nether music
These music tracks play while the player is in the Nether.

End music
These music tracks play while the player is in the End.

Unclassified music
These music tracks do not play in-game, but rather in the Menu screen and during the End Poem specifically.

Trivia

 * Chirp uses the same accompaniment samples as "The Orb of Dreamers" from the LittleBigPlanet series. The samples come from the Optigan disc "Bossa Nova Style". C418 stated that it was coincidental.
 * "Calm 3", or "Sweden", is a Passacaglia, with a changing melody over a repeated bass line.
 * On April Fools' Day 2014, Mojang played a bunch of villager themed pranks on the players, including temporarily replacing the track "Hal 1", or "Subwoofer Lullaby", with a version that had a villager singing along, as well as temporarily replacing all the menu songs with the villagers singing the Game Of Thrones theme song. This was reverted on April 2, 2014.
 * 5 songs in C418's album "148" (Droopy Remembers, Vierton, Aria Economy, Biome Party, and Beta) are house remixes of some songs in "Life Changing Moments Seem Minor In Pictures", "Minecraft: Volume Alpha" and "Minecraft: Volume Beta" (Droopy likes ricochet + Droopy likes your face, Dreiton, Aria Math, Biome Fest, and Sweden).
 * Hal 3 (Haggstrom) is in septuple time (precisely 7/4 time).
 * The song "Biome Fest" if listened to carefully appears to be in the style of a Gregorian chant.
 * The word "Shuniji" ( しゅにじ, 主虹 ) means "primary rainbow" in Japanese.
 * Axolotls are small Mexican salamanders that are critically endangered.
 * According to C418, the track "Mice on Venus" (game filename is piano3) was originally only a short piano solo, but was then changed later in Minecraft's development and an addendum was added, which made the track that we have currently.
 * On the Legacy Console Editions, the music that plays in survival mode never plays in creative, and vice versa. If a world is created in survival and then later switched over to creative, creative music will start playing and the old survival music will go away, but this may take a very long time before the music changes.
