Minecraft wiki entry for Music, associated text: The End track is "Calm1" echoed and samples from the original Minecraft - Volume Alpha distorted.[4]
"calm3.ogg", or "Sweden", is a Passacaglia, with a changing melody over a repeated bass line.
On April Fools' Day 2014, Mojang played a bunch of villager themed pranks on the players, including temporarily replacing the track "hal1.ogg", or "Subwoofer Lullaby", with a version that had a villager singing along, as well as temporarily replacing all the menu songs with the villagers singing the Game Of Thrones theme song. This was reverted on April 2, 2014.
hal3.ogg (Haggstrom) is in septuple time (precisely 7/4 time).
The word "Shuniji" (しゅにじ, 主虹) means "primary rainbow" in Japanese.
According to C418, the track "Mice on Venus" (game filename is piano3.ogg) was originally a short piano solo, but was then changed later in Minecraft's development and an addendum was added, which made the track that we have currently.[5]
The title of the track "So Below" is a reference to "As above, so below"[6], a phrase heavily associated with Hermeticism that is derived from a passage from the Emerald Tablet of Thoth[7]. The Emerald Tablet is widely associated with the secrets of creating the philosopher's stone. The choice to use the "so below" part of the phrase was meant to be evocative of the underworldly nature of the Nether.
The word rubedo is Latin for "redness". The term was adopted by alchemists to refer to the final stage of creating the philosopher's stone.[8][9] It is also likely associated with the red-colored environment of the Nether.
The word chrysopoeia (χρυσοποιία) is an alchemical term that describes the creation of the philosopher's stone, or the transmutation of a given object into gold.[10][11]
In Bedrock Edition, due to the fact that the river biome is considered plains, underwater music might also play in plains and flat biomes, provided that the pool is big enough and has underwater blocks (for example, corals).[needs in-game testing]
The Warped Forest is the only biome in the game devoid of music. However, in Java Edition, a sound event (music.nether.warped_forest, empty by default) exists nonetheless.
Even though it wasn't supposed to appear in-game, Flake appeared in the Festive Mash-up pack for Legacy Console and Bedrock editions.
