Released Minecraft soundtracks

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.[4] He was also going to have his cat voice Ocelots,[5][6], but since his cat never meows clearly,[7][8], C418 decided to use cat sounds from Freesound instead.[9]

Trivia

  • In-game music is cued by the time of day, with a random track being played at sunrise, sunset, noon and midnight.
  • Many sounds that C418 has used can be found at [1] (For example the grass walking sounds can be found here.)
  • Like Mojang employees, his in-game character can be seen wearing a cape in survival multiplayer.
  • His Minecraft skin is the default skin, but the head is replaced with the texture for a jukebox.
  • As of 1.9 Pre-Release 2, there are 11 music discs, all containing original C418 songs.
    • These include all of the previously-encoded files except 'Where are we now', due to troubles encountered when adding in music with spaces in the name.
