Let’s be honest here, we never finished building that city.

I honestly can’t imagine what my childhood would’ve been like without Minecraft

notch: i need music for a 3d block game, just dont go too far with it c418:

And one day, you realise that C418 is one of the best musicians.

The final boss wasn’t the ender dragon .. it was growing up

It funny how nearly a whole generation grew up playing this game. To others, it may seem silly of how we cry whenever we hear the songs playing from it. But to us, it reminds us of the good days. It almost seems as if we have all grown up to quickly, and this is the only thing that we remember playing from our 'child hood'. Thanks Mojang, for everything.

We played, we tried We laughed, we cried We succeeded, we died We respawned and thrived From the zombies, to the endermen From the skeletons, to the pigmen From the spiders and creepers And from those annoying griefers From the biome of jungle to sands To the mushrooms and other obscure lands From the snow and ice To the swamps which never looked too nice From the moments with friends we’ll cherish From a time we hoped Herobrine would perish From the great animations To the KZfaq sensations Along with those musical incantations I thank Mojang for creating my childhood Much better than just ‘good’ I think I speak for everyone here When I say this is not game of the year It’s the game of the century As it offered us plenty And these memories will never leave Just like the thought of first playing as Steve So I say close your eyes And listen to the music with surprise As your memories of Minecraft where once apart But now can be fixed like a broken heart In order to find your memories core You must go back to the world of Minecraft once more And defeat the Ender Dragon one last time As the sweet sounds of your childhood begin to chime One last thing, for me to say Which would be, have a nice day Also for you to never forget this game Nor the journey that came As apart of that journey was the end Quite literally, not pretend Just like this poem, which I hope you all read As I would love it if this poem and this game is remembered once I’m dead. This isn’t mine but wanted to spread these beautiful words

“Turns out the Ender Dragon wasn’t the final boss, it was growing up” - Unknown

I feel there should be an achievement for just sitting still and listening to the entire soundtrack.

Then:“Bro turn the music down it’s so annoying “ Now: “last online 7 years ago”

Time flies by. People come and go. The weeks pass. Time feels too short, doesn’t it? Stay here for a while, enjoy the calm. Cry if you need to, everyone needs comfort once in a while. Sure, things may fly by, days amounting to nothing. But you’re doing so well! I’m so proud of you.

We all started from a block, we were too young to play seriously so we went to the villages to destroy everything, when we grew up we started playing on multiplayer servers: Hunger Games, Bedwars, creative, buildbattle.. We stayed in front of the computer all day in those hot August months where the only worry was not to die of boring. Complaints from our parents telling us we needed to hang out more, but we had our friends on discord that we met online. Now we have grown up, we no longer have time to play, we think about our future, work, girlfriend and grades at school. Yet before I go to sleep I sit on the bed and still think about that creeper who destroyed my house.. (sorry for my english, I'm Italian)

Remember when you used to put your arms in your shirt, and told everyone you had no arms? You'd sleep with all your stuffed animals, so none of them got offended. You had that one pen, with six different colors, and you'd try to push all the buttons at once. You'd pour soda into the cap, and pretend that you were taking shots. And how you'd watch the raindrops on your car window, and pretend they were having a race. Remember when we were kids, who couldn't wait to grow up? (edit) thanks for all the likes guys, glad i could relate to y'all

I feel like Steve was a good guy, who wanted us to be happy.

Welcome traveller you have come to right side of Minecraft no jumping around no screams just calm music sitting remembering all your old memories. Happy new year

Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read our thoughts.” “that doesn’t matter, it thinks we are part of the game.” “I like this player, it played well, it did not give up.” “It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a screen.” “That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game.” “Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen.” “They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players, witches and warlocks. And players dreamed, they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons.” “What did this player dream?” “This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of Fire and Water. It dreamed and created. It dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter.” “Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen?” “It worked, with a million others, to sculpt a true world in a fold of the [scrambled], and created a [scrambled] for [scrambled] in the [scrambled].” “It cannot read that thought.” … “No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a game.” “Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind?” “Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes. But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates a worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes it’s sad creation for reality. To cure its sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere.” “Sometimes when they are deep in their dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds of reality, and their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them speak the word they fear.” “It reads our thoughts.” “Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely [scrambled] and [scrambled]. They see so little of reality, in their long dream.” “And yet they play the game” “But it would be so easy to tell them.” “Too strong for this dream z to tell them how to live is to prevent them from living.” “I will not tell the player how to live” “The player is growing restless.” “I will tell the player a story” “But not the truth” “No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance.” “Give it a body again.” “Shush… sometimes the player reads lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; words into meaning; meaning into feelings emotions, theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper and it realized it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the player was alive. And sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to the player, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food, almost at the familiar door, about to dream again. And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love. You are the player. WAKE UP.

When the music of a game makes you cry, then u know it’s a good game

"Don't cry because it's over ; smile because it happened" - Dr. Seuss

A memory that will never be forgoten... Like my mum once said to me "One day you will relise that being a kid was the best thing in the world"

I was sleeping in 2014, heard an ad, woke back up in 2024, cried a bit.

Anyone remember just running at super speed in creative breaking anything in your way because at first you sucked to much to actually play survival

dam i miss the days. used to play minecraft all night with my brother and we had the coolest worlds and everything. he’s passed away now and all i wanna do is just relive those moments. forever grateful for minecraft

Steadily once a month I listen to soundtracks from minecraft, it evokes pleasant nostalgia for the time when I was so carefree, when I didn’t think about tomorrow but only about today, I remember not the time when I learned about minecraft, but what I was like when it happened Previously, I listened to certain tracks past my ears, but now I realized that they somehow got stuck in my head and stuck tightly like a click into the past for a couple of minutes. I don’t know why I’m writing this, I’m generally a private person, and it’s unlikely that anyone will read this, just let it stay here, but if I read it, I’ll just be surprised that someone... then he’s interested in these posts, maybe these are the same people who came here to get some experience, okay... just have a nice day! we can do it.

You know, nostalgia is a bittersweet feeling. You get to reminisce on good memories you had, and it’s nice. You remember how much fun you used to have, and how happy you were. Yet, at some point you stopped doing these things, or at least it changed. You’ve grown up. You’ve gotten older. You no longer get to feel or witness those experiences again. And even if you could, it isn’t the same. Nostalgia is bittersweet for these reasons.

2012: such good songs 2022: such good memories Almost 2023 Edit: wtf its 2024

I remember when I told one of my friends my favorite game was Minecraft. He scoffed and said “What are you, 12?” He will never understand like all of you do.

I wonder how my old minecraft buddies are doing now…I wish them the best. Thank you for the memories I’ll never forget, you guys are huge part of my childhood.

I like how we all, as a fandom, feel the same way when we hear the old soundtrack. Makes me realize that even if it’s just something small and “insignificant,” I’m not alone in the world when it comes to something :] you guys were and are my first home outside of my house, even if I don’t know you.

Just remember, you could build humungous castles, large mansions or even a dirt hut, but as long as your furnace is next to the crafting table, it’s *h o m e* - internet person of whom’s name I can’t remember

Minecraft: The only limit is your imagination You can only sleep at night

We’ve all had those few, if not one, worlds where we and our friends would constantly log onto and just build stuff, but now you roam those world(s) alone having constant reminders of what was.

this. makes me cry. alot. the memories, the fun, the sadness, the happiness. everything. thank you, C418.

“For every man who places his last block, there is a young boy out there placing his first.”

We didn’t realize we were making memories,we were just having fun

listening to this makes me smile, yet it still brings me tears. I still play Minecraft even if my parents and friends make fun of me, none of that matters to me. all the maters is that I'm still having fun and enjoying a great game. Remember all the fun times you had when you were younger, remember playing split screen at your friends house and finding diamonds for the first time thinking you owned the world. Remember trying to build huge cities and castles but never finished, remember all the adventures you would go on with friends. and what about the secret bases that you would make even though you knew you couldn't play with anyone. remember all the late night sleep overs and you all played Minecraft and got scared at the sounds in the caves and mobs jumped scared all of you. Just remember even though you can't go back, be happy that it happened and that you smiled and laughed, remember that you had fun and didn't have a care in the world. remember playing the mini games, and having a blast. Just because people, maybe even your own parents might make fun of you doesn't mean you should stop, if you truly love something keep going and have fun. go and open your old Minecraft worlds if you can. Keep having fun. go play Minecraft and make new memories, they might not be as impacting as the old ones but still, go have fun, make new ones build that city that you always wanted to build. let this music bring back the memories, the good times and write them down so you can go back later and read it and have a laugh. I'm 13 and yes people make fun of me for playing Minecraft but who cares, I know that everyone reading this can agree. Minecraft is a true masterpiece, and shall never be forgotten. go play Minecraft when your sad, go play with friends, or just watch the sun set with your dog. Go rewatch all you favorite Minecraft videos, tear up and relax, remember the good days. Minecraft is for everyone if someone treats you bad for it, don't listen to them keep playing the game you love, the game that made you happy, that game that made you smile when you had a bad day. I might not be that old to be wise and remember things from the old Minecraft and all but I do know one thing for sure, and it's that we used to get annoyed at the music and fight over the diamonds, we made army's of dogs and watched all our favorite KZfaqrs play adventure maps and could not wait for the next episode. I want all of you to remember one thing, and that one thing is ,that no matter what happens in life stay focused on your dreams and never let anyone push you down, keep driving forward and persevere through tough times, and if you need a break go play Minecraft. Thank you for taking your time and reading this I really appreciate it, now what are you waiting for. Go have fun, Go Play Minecraft!

“20 years from now you will be more disappointed in the things you didn’t do than the things you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour, and catch the trade winds in your sail” -minecraft poem

it’s sad to think about how many worlds we created and then forgot about. how they’ll most likely never be played again. how many dogs are still sitting down in the corner of our houses waiting for us to load back in. how many cities we were so hyped to build but never finished. honestly this game was such a big part of my childhood and all of ours. thank you mojang

"There will come a day when you will place your last block" -Some random people on the internet

"Good night bro i'll catch you tomorrow." Last online 12 years ago...

I remember playing hours and hours of Minecraft with my cousins, good memories

People never quit on Minecraft, they just take a short break from it... D:

The worst part about Nostalgia is the gut-punching fact that you can never go back.

When i started to play Minecraft in 2012, music wasn't annoying, but through the years, i muted it and put dubstep or something. Now i wish every second to hear this pieces in the gameplay.

Goosebumps, childhood and so many good memories.Minecraft is a masterpiece and a legend.

The first block you placed. The first house you made. The first cave you mined. The first nether you made. The first end you saved. The first dog you tamed. The first diamonds you mined. The first villager trade. The first world you made. It is all there, somewhere. "A message to all Future Generations." "Don't let this masterpiece die.."

Let’s be honest. You will never quit Minecraft.. You will always take a long breake from it.

Makes me mad cause i had the very first tutorial world ever saved on my xbox360 and wanted to keep it forever but i sold my 360 and now ill never get that world back😔 hear the original sound track for Minecraft always floods my memories with my old words i use to have

In my very first world in MCPE 0.11.2. Im making a roller coaster, i struggled to fly I don't know how to set the control button, im using the Second Player Person than One player person, one day for the first time im playing a multiplayer with my cousin, im So Happy!! We play survival together, make a City, building, And Laughing together, Yeah that was 8 Years Ago 😢.Now I've Tried to playing this game again But it feels different, i feel alone 😔 I Wish that i can repeat those gold days ❤ Thank You So Much Minecraft for bringing me A Tear, Togetherness, A meaning of family is, and Laugh. Thank you for all your Childhood❤

Minecraft is the closest thing we have to heaven on earth.

Let's be honest. After all those years, it's still the most beautiful and relaxing game to ever exist. And i want to keep it that way.

"The time you didn't know you were happy... 7 years ago...

Life always finds a way of shooting you down just this year I lost almost all my friends but if you stay strong you'll realise things take time you'll meet new people, play new games and most importantly you'll live life.

still crying while listening to it...

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory... Thank you minecraft....

I was born in 2011 and i still started crying when i heard this it just brings back all the best memories even from things thats not minecraft and if you feel sad or start crying just know we atleast had a good time and that will last forever and just listening to this is nostalgic

Man, I remember getting a copy for the Xbox One edition in 2014, or around that time. It was the best decision of my life. My dad that day sat with me for hours, explaining the game (although he didnt know it, he tried his best) and everything, to a little me. I learnt how to play, became amazing at it, and started building for hours and hours. I miss the old times man. Making the first few online friends, joining the first few servers, playing a lot. Nothing to worry about, and mojang being mojang, not microsoft. I love you, old minecraft. Please come back even for a little time. I wish I could turn back time to when things were perfect. Absolutely perfect. -

This is what you heard while building your house on single player in the summer of 2013, late at night after your parents had gone to bed. The window is open and you dont know it yet but youre living out one of your favorite memories. Youll look back on this fondly and with a bitter sense of nostalgia in years to come as things start getting worse and worse and you wish you could be that kid again, 12 years old and oblivious, playing minecraft on a warm, rainy summer night.

"We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun." -Winnie the Pooh

Bro, this hits me so nostalgic, I'm from the last piece of Gen Z, but at least I grew up with this memories in my mind, I'm from Brazil, and here the Minecraft comunnity was so strong, and I started to cry, when I listened to Sweden...😢✊

I never imagined how powerful C418 would be in the future it’s soul touching now 🥰🥹

"Ill be back tomorrow, dont worry" Last Online: 10 years ago

"hello this is Stampy!" God I remember the good old days where we would just sit back and watch these people play a game about blocks.

I will just say this. The current musicians have made some great pieces of music, it is true. But not as good as C418's. He was the original music maker for this game. And no-one else can say that. It's his music I love the MOST. Above all others.

these songs are so bittersweet. it reminds me of a simpler time when i would sit on the couch with my parents and brother and just chill and play minecraft. we laughed, messed around, built towns, and worked towards our own goals. i took all of it for granted, and now those are the best memories i could ask for. i cant ever go back. i wish i could. i wish i could go back in time to relive that life. but now, the only song i know how to play on piano is subwoofer lullaby.

"you weren't just placing blocks, you were making memories." -a wise man

what hurts most is remembering how i’d sit in a dark room at my grandparents house playing minecraft. man it was so peaceful then-

30:27 The piano solo really hits differently when its slowed. Minecraft is a pure masterpiece, no other game or remake can compare to this nostalgic sandbox.

"You never quit Minecraft, you just take really long breaks"

Thank you, Mojang. Not only for good music, but for the best escape from the world that a kid could ask for.

Thank you for adding the credits, you have created a place of shelter for all of us wearing travellers in the long dream. Thank you.

When i was younger i had a dog her name was ara she was there my whole life acting like a 3rd parent when she got older she had to stay at my grandparents because we were in the center of the city and couldnt take her for walks, but we would still visit quite frequently. A few years back my mom rushed into my room crying and she told me that Ara died of old age(she was 16 and a half years of age), I was devastated i cried for what felt like four whole days, and today i still remember her and when im feeling down i visit my old minecraft world where i have a dog named ara and reminess that if she were here she would push me and force me to keep going and not give up. I tear up every time i listen to the minecraft ots, thank you C418 and Notch for the great memories that i will never forget.

Nothing hits harder than just laying in your room alone in the dark listening to this, remembering all the memories, not just Minecraft but just life back then. Peaceful and fun times.

Ah yes, the game that brings us back to when we thought everything was normal and nothing could go wrong. The days when multiplayer wasn’t a thing so you and your friends would try to find each other on completely different maps. The days when you would bug your dad to play it with and get irritated when he asked how the controls worked every time. The days when we used to watch people make buildings and use mods but now they are just a figment of our nostalgic journey. Thank you Minecraft for making our childhoods become actual childhoods and let us be kids when times where rough.

I will never forget that time this game made me who am i today . How quickly time flies.

I sit at my desk, put on headphones and let my heart sink into this, calm minecraft moments like this are engraved into your memory and that’s when you know life isn’t too long, sit down, hop on Minecraft, and take it slow

Not a single word spoken, yet this says so much. Almost fills an empty space in our minds. A space of memories long forgotten.

We are not looking for old songs.. We're looking for the memories they hold...

pls future generation just 1 request please just please never let this piece of art this masterpiece be forgotten. this nostalgia fills my veins and nerves with a drug namely nostalgia

This video made me boot up minecraft on my laptop that I used to play on. I scrolled down to a world that I created when the aquatic update just released. I loaded it up and found...a little cobblestone house...with a dog and a parrot it in. Thanks bro.

I'm not crying, someone's cutting those onions again.

I like the subtitles: "Nostalgia hits you" "Memories Flood back" "You remember your first world" "Your first time finding diamonds rushes in your thoughts" "Your base, your humble little house" "Your first time in the nether" "You prepare for the end" "You find the portal" "I will not tell the player how to live" Perfect way to describe what's going through my head while listening to this

When I was younger, my dad always made minecraft servers for me, him, my brothers, and my brother's friends to play on. They were all called 'Dad World', the first was 'Dad World I' and I had so much fun with so many memories. He always mined out his base in the side of a mountain with a mine that went down to bedrock. He had storage rooms with every material in the game. We don't play much anymore, things have just been too busy, but whenenver I'm sad and feel worthless, I think back to playing with him, and I smile. We don't play together anymore, everything's just been so busy, but I'm thinking of suggesting Dad World V.

The C418 note marked my childhood and brings back many memories of when I played Minecraft in 2012 when I was 7 years old. Thank you Minecraft for making me have a very good time regardless of my loneliness and all video gamesI still remember that house in the snow at night while that song was playing

You know you had a good childhood when this makes you have a breakdown

Let’s all agree to one day in the future tell our kids the legendary story’s about this game

"Then one day, you'll look back, and be amazed by how far you've come." -a kind man.

This is the game that shaped a good portion of my early childhood. I’m off to college and starting a new life. Started this game when I was 9 years old. Minecraft will always be special to me. Thank you Minecraft🙏🙏

Everything is pixel, and the only limit is your imagination. And the block height limit to......

"Dont cry because it ended, be happy that it happened" -a true wise man

My home computer had an error, and we had to change it, deleting my first world, my first house, my first pet... Now the only thing I have of it is remembering those two bad built wood walls with a crafting table between them.

Don't cry because its gone. Be happy because it happened.

The good old days when we would all hop on creative mode and build diamond houses and fill chests up with diamond and enchanting the armour and weapons to the max and then go survival on it. Oh those were the days :,)

Now we understand why old people listen to old music. For the old memories you will never experience again, for a moment in life where there was nothing to worry about. A peaceful time.

Minecraft holds old memories that will never disappear

C418 Sweden - flashes ur fun memories C418 Wet Hands - flashes those saddest memories happened in your life
