Minecraftis having a very busy year, withthe Nether Updatemaking tons of changes,Minecraft Liveshowering Minecraft fans with huge announcements like theCaves and Cliffs Update, and the recent announcement thatMojang Accounts for the Java Edition are migrating to Microsoft Accounts. Through all of it, we’ve had theHow We Make MinecraftYouTube series, which takes a humorous look at some of the core characteristics of Minecraft, and just how the game came to be (and how it continues to evolve). The fourth episode is here, and this time around we’re learning about…sound.
“The Sounds of Minecraft” goes over why Minecraft sounds the way it does, and it’s a fascinating look at the thinking behind these decisions (with some charming and cheesy jokes thrown in along the way). The randomness of Minecraft means music is also random. Hostile mobs make sounds because sight can’t be relied on. Random scary sounds play near caves because Minecraft kind of just wants to mess with you. If you’re a fan of Minecraft, it’s definitely worth a quick watch.
