Music included in Minecraft
(NOTE: As of March 4th 2011, Minecraft's tracks have been given "official" names)

Please note, these tracks have been shortened to 30 seconds on the wiki, due to an agreement with the author to allow them onto the wiki. This does not apply to "11".

Future
More music by C418 will be added in Minecraft in the near future. This will include music specific to battles, the Nether, The End, NPC villages, Creative Mode, and many more.

Released Minecraft soundtracks

 * Minecraft - Volume Alpha (04 March, 2011)

Cat
C418 revealed in an AMA on Reddit that the Ghast sounds are taken from his pet cat, and he makes those sounds when he is disturbed while sleeping. He was also going to have his cat voice Ocelots, but since his cat never meows clearly,  C418 decided to use cat sounds from Freesound instead.

Where are we now
Where are we now was intended to be in the game but was left out due to processing problems.

Trivia
