Title: Blocky Beginnings
Game: Minecraft
Composer: C418
Arranger: Quinlan Ngo
Whether you’re exploring the vast expanse of the Overworld in search of a stronghold, or planning out your dream home, you’ll probably hear one of C418’s ambient tracks begin to play. Featuring “Wet Hands” and “Mice on Venus”, “Blocky Beginnings” is a nostalgic voyage back to our childhoods, when finding three diamonds for a pickaxe was the only thing that mattered. We invite you to relive those memories in this Minecraft medley, celebrating the countless blocks placed, worlds explored, and the dogs still waiting for us to come home.
