I love it how it can be a good while of silence when playing, but then the music starts out of nowhere and it manages to feel like the most serene and emotional tune you've heard.

I remember playing Minecraft, hearing the music and going, “oh shoot, is the sun setting?” The music used to start at intervals during the day. Morning, noon, evening, and midnight, I believe. It was a kind reminder to check the time. Edit: I JUST LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAID, AND I QUOTE, “A random track is selected *at sunrise, sunset, noon, and midnight.* “ NO IT IS NOT FREAKING RANDOM. STOP LYING TO PEOPLE.

Most of the classic Minecraft music sound like the little crib musicals you listened to as a baby to fall asleep. Maybe thats why it feels nostalgic/peaceful to listen. Its proof that music can make you feel and remember long forgotten memories.

When I was a pre-K teacher, I would often play all minecraft music on a loop in the class (minus the nether music for obvious reasons) and the entire atmosphere of the classroom would be much calmer than the other classrooms. Naptime was also easier. I cant stand the classic lullabies and it gets really old, and the kids never really responded to it, but C418's minecraft music worked magic. When it was time for dancing, I would play the jukebox discs and they especially loved Strad which ironically is my favorite of the discs. Anyways, the handpans for Aria Math was beautiful as it is my absolute favorite of all soundtracks. Masterfully played, dude.

I love how theres no cuts between instruments. He just flawlessly goes between each one and performs with no mistakes

The fact that a lot of us haven't played Minecraft in so many years yet we still recognise each song really shows how good Minecraft music is.

This video made me experience nostalgia, sadness, happiness, inner peace, fear of death and absolute relaxation.

I love how every track made by C418 is perfectly recognizable

no nonsense. no long-winded explanations. no sponsors, no clickbait. three minutes. simple, clean, beautiful. minecraft music with cool instruments exactly as promised edit: never said sponsors were bad. just appreciated the simplicity here. saying something is good does not equal saying all other things are bad. the ability of youtube to turn any comment into a vicious argument is unmatched by literally any social media i have ever seen and it is embarrassing. keep it civil in my notifications i didn't ask for this

I feel like the reason why Minecraft's music is still a treasure too hold is because it didn't use common instruments, it used uncommon but such beautiful instruments, but when Minecraft's new version of their game got released it lost that beauty within the music.. I miss old Minecraft music.

0:01 Aria Math 0:17 Minecraft 0:36 Sweden 1:06 Subwoofer Lullaby 1:46 Haggstrom 2:16 Wet Hands

Man, being an instrument lover myself, it is actually really satisfying and exhilarating to see the instruments behind the songs I've listened to for almost a decade

We absolutely NEED a full Aria Math cover, that was too good

We can all agree that C418 is a musical genius and mastermind, right?

Im convinced it's impossible to listen to this without becoming immediately relaxed.

in the next 20 years or less some kids won’t have ever known this amazing feel of this music

I like how the music actually sounds peaceful with the instruments used

The fact that he used the exact instruments for almost all of them and it's so accurate so it sounds exactly like the actual song just makes me so unbelievably happy. I love the minecraft music

Your first block Your first dirt hut Your first portal Your first survival base Your first diamons pickaxe Your first dragon egg Its somewhere, lost, lost in the millions of forgotten minecraft worlds

Man, I'm tearing up. Life used to be so different back then. Though it might be an old video, thank you for taking your time to make this video, Joe.

Oh man. I'm emotional. I remember building a little dirt home with my hubby the first time we played. We were so excited by every new discovery in the game. We learned so much about Minecraft and traveled our little world. We would set up a home and then gather supplies to see what was beyond the mountains, it was so fun. It was our bonding time once we put the little ones to sleep. As our kids grew up and took an interest in videogames, we gave them controls and they joined our world. We would run around and hunt and grow food, build towns and explore caves, searching for diamonds. I love this little game ☺️ EDIT: You're all so sweet 🤗 It's funny that I was playing Minecraft with one of my boys when I got a notification that I had some replies. You're all so kind and Im glad I was able to bring a bit of happiness to you. I have so many stories about videogames but I think I'd be here all day 😅 Please take care of yourselves and remember to enjoy the little things in life, lots of hugs for everyone! 🤗☺️

1:05 For me, this music is the most nostalgic of all 👍

I love how almost all of the original mc songs sound different and yet so similar at the same time

Somehow he portraits all feelings and emotions from this songs using just percussion... A year ago I did never knew I'm gonna love percussion more than everything else. True skill and talent, thanks Joe. As always fantastic!

In my eyes, or more like ears, most of minecraft’s songs are only the happy type of nostalgic because we associate good times with the music. I think they portray a clear tune of loneliness. In some it’s a peaceful kind while in others it’s sad and, well, lonely. Minecraft is just as much a masterpiece of a game as a musical concert

1:05 only Minecraft lover can feel nostalgia ❤❤

The choice of instruments was very spot on. I wish you have full versions of this.

I'm mostly impressed he played every one perfectly in one take

Minecraft’s music is already so beautiful and this just sends shivers down my spine

Me and my best friend loved playing this game and we would stay up to midnight playing together. I remember a time when one of these songs came on and it was one of the best moments of my childhood.

Videos like this remind me how much I love being a percussionist and that more people need to understand that "drums" aren't just the loud rhythm section.

These are the sounds of our childhood. Hearing these makes me sad about the memories I once had with friends I no longer have, the all nighters I would pull on split screen, in a dark room. It’s sad that these memories no longer live in reality but whenever I hear one of these songs I immediately close my eyes and tilt my head backwards. It was truly simpler back then. No worries about girls, peer pressure, school, maintaining toxic relationships, or the inevitable realization of growing up. The only question we had to answer was what to name our tamed wolf. (Thanks for the likes, luv you guys🥺)

I’ve literally been playing Minecraft for 11 years now and this just sends the memories flooding back, so thank you

Almost every one of C418s music is a god damn masterpiece it’s insane

Your attempt at "Sweden" made me tear up. It gave me the biggest wave of nostalgia I've heard in a while...

This hits me with… so much nostalgia for classic (pre-infinite) creative from over a decade ago. I loved how you just… happily declared each instrument before playing it. Lovely playing!

This already sounds like pure nostalgia to me and Minecraft’s still a fairly recent game. I imagine I’m just gonna start crying if I ever hear it in the far future

This guy needs more credit than he gets this instruments are insanely hard to play let alone memorize what notes he needs to play it’s amazing 🤩

makes me cry. the soundtrack for that game is astounding. the memories i have with it are priceless- even the ones i still make today. this music is the pinnacle of what music you imagine playing while you reminisce on old memories. omg i love it

Every beat of every rhythm feels like all of my old Minecraft memories flooding back to me… And it makes me feel… happy

thats really cool, almost as if C418 legit picked every emotionally expressive percussion instrument he knew and wrote something peaceful with it

Why does this make me lose my breath and feel immense and crippling sadness/nostalgia

The nostalgia and how they bring back the good old memories

God, subwoofer lullaby just unlocked a major feeling of nostalgia. Genuinely caught my breath. I love how all of these instruments just sound absolutely perfect for each song! It was a journey of memories for me lol

Subwoofer lullaby always gives me a nostalgic feeling I cannot explain. There's so many memories from 2011 that just flash by when I hear it.

It feels so comfortable and peacefull, I always loved the old music

The accuracy from the kalimba sound. And obviously the nostalgia from every song. I’m at peace

It's always nice to see acoustic instruments replace synthetic/programmed sounds. A lot of "musicians" have no idea what awesome music a well-developed percussion set is capable of. I'd really like to hear a full-fledged cover of Minecraft's music with a creative use of real instruments. That could make an awesome resource pack!

I still maintain that C418’s volume alpha is one of the greatest collections of music to ever be created. Also damn you’re talented.

0:26 my favorite background music.

So nostalgic the old music😢

God, Minecraft music has that magic nostalgia that makes me wish I was young again and I was playing in that one Skyblock world with my siblings, or building that one huge structure in Superflat, or messing with slimestone mechanics in a 'Redstone Ready' world and accidentally nuking it all, or anything like that. There was always something so special about Xbox 360 Minecraft thats slowly been slipping away from 'Bedrock', but is still in Java for some reason to me.

Holy moly, finally someone _actually_ played Aria Math on the hang drums and didn't just title the video "Minecraft music cover" while playing completely random notes instead. And not only that, a bunch of the other best tunes in the game on other great instruments as well!! This was a treat, thank you for this 🌟

0:33 goosebumps (almost painfully strong) and tears immediately. thank you

all the instruments fit soo well for all the Minecraft music

i love how he doesn't stop the music at a random point to move on to the next one, he chose the perfect time to stop while adding a finishing sound, sooo good, I reached 102% satisfaction

Love the Aria Math one, it sounded exactly like the original. I absolutely love these. It would be very interesting to hear more creative tracks in the future

This made me shed a tear. I miss those simpler days of Minecraft.

Everybody forgets subwoofer lullaby when they talk about nostalgia it's sad I have not heard it in so long. Respect to all my fellow OG's

these sounds are hitting me more than anything in life has. as it should.

I LOVE how nostalgic the Minecraft music is. Makes me remember the old days of 2015 and the hype exploding! Playing with friends, and having a good time. Thanks for bringing that back @Joe Porter

Haggstorm sounded almost exactly the same as the original music😅 PS. Great skill!❤❤ love the way you play

Man, I actually LOVE the Minecraft soundtrack, top to bottom, it’s a masterpiece. Thank you so much for this collection, now the only thing I need is a full video with every Minecraft song recreated. Please

Soothing to hear Minecraft’s soundtrack played on the instruments! Thanks for your hard work and teaching people about new instruments they might have not known about or didn’t know the name of and whatnot It teaches me a lot about percussion instruments for sure

The most impressive part is how this is done in one take.

I remember playing songs would just pop up and it would always feel like they come up at specific times. Minecraft would start randomly in the game. Sweden would always start in a clear field or high mountains. Subwoofer lullaby would start at sun rising. Sometimes before or after rain. Haggstron would start during the rain or thunder storm. Wet hands would always start sun set.

0:33 the most beautiful Minecraft song in the world

I love how these songs take you back to a place and time in your life as soon as you hear them :)

I only started playing Minecraft a few years ago, but I still find myself sadly nostalgic for those earlier years of playing. So much has changed in just a few years... My attempts to relive those times through Minecraft are always somewhat futile though. Just teaches you to live in the moment, enjoy what you have, and perhaps put the devices away for longer in order to truly enjoy life then. I do enjoy Minecraft, but it's a love hate relationship. It, and technology in general, has become something I use to repress and distract. I write this knowing I should follow my own advice, but also knowing it's addictive hold. I don't mean to be a downer, I think it's fine to take a break and have fun, but for me it's taken over and it's something I need to get control of before more of my life and loved ones pass me by. So, yes, enjoy the music and the game and the memories, but don't forget to move forward and make new, important memories too, especially with those you love.

sir this is illegal to be so flawlessly skilled at recreating the minecraft soundtracks

this video gave me so much nostalgia, it made me go rewatch my favorite roleplay series from a romanian minecraft youtuber from a few years ago

I really loved that Aquarion, I've never seen that before. And the steel tongue drum was the perfect choice for Sweden.

Ever since we missed the important figure in minecraft, I’ve been listening to the the minecraft music non-stop. Thank you Joe for covering them, your musical talent never ceases to amaze me and fill me with nostalgia.

Handpan is one of the best instrument for chilling

Haggstorm on Kalimba always give me the "Nostalgia Goosebump". Really loving the videos Mr Porter and thank you so much for making it :)

The hand pans are the perfect instrument for aria math, I couldn't believe how good they sounded in the first video you did and I still can't believe how good they sound now

Really Nice Job! This made me realise, the writer of this music must have specifically chosen very Tactile Timbres and Textures to ground and immerse the player in a more visceral experience of that world, to give it a deep feeling quality, balancing the plunky earthliness with the resonant otherworldliness... I wonder if that's one reason the music had such a powerful ability to entrain the player's mind and heart with the womb like quality of that world, bringing them straight back to that state of being when they hear it years later... very interesting! Thankyou

Dude, you almost made me cry. I remembered all the times I used to play with my brother on the playstation tutorial world in the demo version and have sooooo much fun. One day we discovered the 1.12 tutorial world in ruins underwater in the newer one and we were SOOOOO mindblown. That made our entire MONTH dude. Im still only 14 and that was like 5 years ago but it was SUCH a good time. Thank you so much for this man.

God the lullaby just makes me feel like im back in 2012 and 2013 playing minecraft on pc and pe such nostalgia

It’s hard to listen to Minecraft music from my childhood because it makes my heart sink with so many memories and so much saddens that it’s gone. But theirs still things in the future to look forward too.

this minecraft music brings all those old memories back. so nostalgic.

Hell nah now i gotta go listen to those legendary pieces of art

I hope no one minds me making timecodes. 0:00 *Aria Math* on _Handpands_ 0:15 *Minecraft* on _Aquarion_ 0:33 *Sweden* on _Steel Tongue Drum_ 1:04 *Subwoofer Lullaby* on _Vibraphone_ 1:44 *Haggstrom* on _Kalimba_ and _Glockenspiel_ 2:14 *Wet Hands* on _Marimba_

I would kill to hear these songs for the first time again.

1) aria math 2) Minecraft wither void 3) Minecraft acid

Brings childhood memories 😭😆

Thank you for making this one a bit longer than the others, I really appreciate it, and I bet so many others did since a lot of us were asking for minecraft music all the time you performed one in a video

Every time i see that Joe has created another video, my day immediately gets 10x better

Subwoofer lullaby man... just brings me back to the hot nights of summer holiday playing minecraft alone at night when I was a kid... man

the fact that i can still hum along to these melodies after so long really means something

Ok but- If this guy did full on covers of these songs like this- I'd be happy beyond words-

Aria math was the perfect song to start with. Hell, they’re all good choices for the vid! C418’s songs always warm my heart and make me think of the early days of Minecraft. And to see how far the game has come since it’s birth is always amazing. Well done Notch, Mojang and C418 for making the best game in the ever!

When I first watched you you played marimba and now its my favourite instrument

Kalimba was a spot on!

As a Pianist, I love watching videos like this and trying to piece together how the piano theory has been shaped and changed to fit each instrument. The marimba is built similar to a piano with its keys, the hand pans have all the notes but they are in different places, and the kalimba notes go back and forth in a ending/descending order. Fascinating!!

There's something so peaceful about listening to Minecraft's relaxing music while seeing the actual instruments.

Que nostalgia cara! Saudades da época em que eu ia na casa do meu amigo com meu irmão, chamavamos outros amigos também. A gente passava a tarde toda jogando um minezinho, cod bo2 zombies, terraria, gta... Depois íamos na rua criar alguma brincadeira e logo em seguida tomávamos café da tarde e depois todos voltavam a brincar na rua depois da jogatina e de reabastecer a barriga! (as músicas do Minecraft me lembra momentos extremamente bons da minha vida... Foi uma infância maravilhosa a que eu tive...) Sdds! 🥹🥹🥹

I really miss it when Minecraft was so much simpler.

I haven't actually sat down and played Minecraft in over a decade, and I forgot a couple of these songs existed. It unlocked these memories and nostalgia from such a deep part in my heart that I didn't even remember until now. I'm not lying when I say I cried a little. This fun little video showing off cool percussion instruments made me cry... Amazing video :) Thank you for making this.
