{{Q|The very first and last song.|C418|bandcamp.com}}
{{Q|“Minecraft” is by far the most minimalist song and also the first song I created for the game. It’s purely pentatonic in scale, builds up very slowly, and then slowly fades away. This is kind of what I built the entire soundtrack around on.|C418|c418.org}}
'''"Minecraft"''' is a song composed by [[C418]] that plays in the [[Overworld]] and when the player is in [[Creative mode]] {{in|je}}.

== Track description ==
{{C418 agreement}}
[[File:Minecraft.ogg]]

"Minecraft" consists of a chiming piano playing a calm melody that begins to loop and is later joined by melancholy string chords, strummed or plucked strings (possibly a harp or a guitar) and a glockenspiel, as well as some ambient synth sounds in the background.

It is the first song that C418 made for the game, and was used as a framework by C418 for the other songs in the ''Minecraft'' soundtrack.<ref>[https://c418.org/albums/minecraft-volume-alpha/ ''Minecraft - Volume Alpha'' on C418.org]</ref>
