Trivia



 * As of November 15, 2013, 29 tracks have been added to Minecraft.
 * Many sounds that C418 has used can be found at freesound.org (for example the walking sounds can be found here.)
 * His Minecraft skin is the default skin, but the head is replaced with the texture for a jukebox.
 * Like Mojang employees, his in-game character can also be seen wearing a Mojang cape.
 * C418 revealed in an AMA on Reddit that the ghast sounds are taken from his pet cat 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.
