I think about it a lot but there's something really really beautiful about the Minecraft soundtrack.

You're in this world where you can do whatever you want, but instead of having adventure music or rpg tunes you get these.. beautiful notes of pianos and all sorts of music that just fills my soul. I've been listening to it for over a decade, and C418 has been my top Spotify artist for 3 years, but I still don't get tired of it.

Volumes Alpha and Beta are examples of genuinely perfect video game osts that bring me unending peace to the point where I went through a period of being unable to sleep unless it was playing.

It's absolutely fantastic and the knowledge that there's a third album out there that just can't be released harms me on a spiritual level.

I've wept over not being able to hear it a few times.

When it comes down to it, Minecraft's original soundtrack coupled with the original gameplay around the Xbox 360/Ps3 edition time period is one of my greatest sources of nostalgia.

This music, and game, has changed my life for the better and I don't see it get enough praise.

Todays rip: 19/04/2024

i love(d) you

Season 6 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume FF Also on: Now That's What I Call Quality! 3

Ripped by vvsvlogs

Requested by oetaboy and an anonymous reader! @oetaboy (Ask Box)

I'm sure this rip's been a long time coming for many - I know it has for me. I've had i love(d) you sitting in my drafts as far back as in March, but truthfully it's...daunting, to write about. Requested by two readers. Close to 200 thousand views on YouTube, and recently featured prominently in popular Clone Hero YouTuber Acai's "The Quality of SiIvaGunner" series. And the rip itself being an emotional gutpunch in a season filled with them, from a ripper who's already gutpunched me plenty with Wham! Into Dreams and The Paragoomba and the Wiggler. vvsvlogs, Vivi, I ask this with the most sincere gratitude possible - why must you do this to me?

Minecraft as a game has its emotional hooks in at least two generations of people - that much I think we're all aware of. A sandbox filled with endless possibilities, community, friends, individual stories of survival or of great creative endeavors, all wrapped in C418's hauntingly beautiful score, one I've discussed many times before with Fell From a High Place (Reprise), M-O-O-G City and Every Mob Wants To Rule My World. All of these rips are beautiful, yet they're all aiming to play with Minecraft's sound in some way - the former two rips are arrangement of its music with other games' instrumentation, and the latter rip is a melodyswap playing Everybody Wants To Rule The World. They all play on my senses in their own ways, they're all rightfully impressive - but nothing hits quite the same as Minecraft's own music, on its own terms. i love(d) you isn't aiming to impress or amaze - but it lands a full-on critical hit on one's heart through leveraging everything that's kept Subwoofer Lullaby alive for so many years.

I've talked plenty about my musical illiteracy, and so I hope it doesn't come as a surprise that I've never really listened to world-renowed singer Billie Eilish. She's been on the radio, I've heard Bad Guy, but it was never a name I gave much more thought beyond seeing her discussed online from time to time. You can imagine the absolute awe I was in when I clicked on i love(d) you when it first went up, already expecting an emotional hit due to the Minecraft song used, only to get goosebumps from Eilish's vocals alone. i love you is the penultimate song from Eilish's debut studio album, the very same that Bad Guy was featured on - yet compared to that track's bass-heavy, almost seductive energy, i love you feels remarkably personal, with little more than an acoustic guitar and piano accompanying the openly emotional vocal performance. It's sincere in a way I don't hear enough music be, as if a diary translated into song, much the same emotion that Because I Love You conveyed yet with even greater magnitude due to the vocals in play.

i love(d) you, uploaded for 2022's valentines day, wields both of these forms of love - the connections many of us have to one of the most impactful games ever made, and the unfiltered emotion of i love you - to create something unabashedly beautiful. Mashups aren't a novel concept, mashups are nothing new - yet one glance at the comments tells me that I'm not alone in finding this rip in particular to have struck an incredibly sensitive nerve. Because there's a beauty to Minecraft that I think many of us oft forget about. It's a game that we all cherish, yet also one that's very easy to have left behind: we have adult responsibilities, we have school, we have other, shorter, more concise games, we have social media, we have friends, we have blogs...the solemn beauty of playing the game itself is, for many viewers like myself, not much more than a memory, something that can feel ever so difficult to recreate without feeling as if something's wrong.

We...I'm...not a kid anymore.

There was nothing about i love(d) you's concept that necessitated it to be more than just the mashup. There rip had no need for visuals that'd help convey the edit like with Plantasia 2 or Luna, mi Amor, no need to tickle the funnybone like with SUNGORE or the hundreds of other YTPMV rips on the channel. Yet, halfway through the rip, to the tune of Eilish's soothingly reverberating vocals, the background begins to change, not to a bit, not to a reference nor easter egg...but to Minecraft. To where all of this attachment began - to a far-off view of the game's beautiful landscapes as the sun begins to rises. That digital world that looks different for every player, yet the same in everyone's hearts - that place that, no matter how many years pass, how long its been since we last played, we all love. Its impact different to everyone, yet the feeling unanimous. It drives home how well the mashup works not just as a mixture of two deeply emotional songs, but as music tied to a shared experience: all of our Minecraft worlds looked different, all of our personal lives look different, but we've all played the game, and we've all had affection for it.

Every moment I spend thinking about this rip aches in some way. It's been well past two years since it was first uploaded, yet it continues to follow me as the years go on, my mouse drawn to it any time it reappears in my recommendations. In being featured on 2024's Now That's What I Call Quality! 3, I think the team holds much the same sentiment - even as the months pass, i love(d) you is the kind of rip that'll never fall out of favor, never stop meaning things to people. And realizing that it was made by vvsvlogs, the very same vvsvlogs who's already made me far too emotionally vulnerable on here twice before, has only made it mean that extra bit more to me.

I'm not a kid anymore. I know that. But I'll always be grateful to SiIvaGunner, the people behind it, and those who follow it along with me, for being able to bring me back to that state of mind when I least expect it.

Thank you.

Minecraft music is just New Age music for autistic people

Never have i ever made a note block song

we don’t talk about the minecraft music enough. OUGH

Some songs are not nEARLY LONG ENOUGH!!!! I NEED THEM IN MY EARS FOR HOURS SO I CAN ABSORB THEM INTO MY BLOODSTREAM!!!!!!!

I finally did some Minecraft stuff on my YT! This is Spores, a song for the Lush Caves.

made this music video with my friends a few years ago, we all met on a minecraft realm and became close and one of us wrote two songs about the game so we all filmed a music video together where each of us got to showcase our favourite parts of the game (mine is building hehe) you can skip to 15:00 if you wanna see me but i rly recommend watching the whole thing it means so much to me

(i'm the fox builder)

Music mods in Minecraft are pretty cool, I guess.

Here it is, a bit os Sleeping Terror, because I was able to. I wish this mod had tempo change trigger of some kind, eh...

Guilty Eyes Creeper

Season 4 Episode 2 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume V

Ripped by Scribble1k

A really special part of SiIvaGunner that I've dabbled in covering from time to time, is its ability to introduce you to all sorts of things through the sheer variety of rips on offer, paired with some elements having a lot of prevelance. That can be anything from music, like Maroon 5 and their appearance in rips like Sunday Morning, to video games like the Thunder Force series in rips like 88811, and even vast rabbitholes to fall down such as the horror media found in If Pazuzu Sneezes Do You Still Say Bless You?. Amidst it all, I was of course also introduced to the multimedia franchise Love Live through its prominence on SiIvaGunner - yet the funny thing is, I've rejected it entirely yet can still appreciate all that it offers from a distance.

Such is the case for Guilty Eyes Creeper, a rip building on a song from the Love Live series, Guilty Eyes Fever, that I'd previously never heard of. I believe I discussed it back with Susume​→​Number One, but I've plainly realized that what Love Live and other franchises like it offers really isn't for me - but in a way, that just opens the door for getting amazed at just how catchy and well-produced so much of its music can often be. And of course, in the case of this rip in particular it helps that Revenge is a banger even outside of its meme status. In a way, that gives the rip a very interesting flavor - two bangers, one I'm immensely nostagically attached to, and another that I know nothing about, intermingling into a new form, blending familiarity and unfamiliarity. The EDM-y sound to Guilty Eyes Fever fits Revenge like a glove, to where it almost sounds like an official, original remix of that track in particular (kind of like the non-Parody version that was made when the original got copystruck?).

I wish I had more to say, but it really does just come down to that blend of familiarity and an all-new sound - at least, one I hadn't ever been exposed to before this rip was made. It's the kind of rip that, now that it became my first-ever exposure to Guilty Eyes Fever, I will never be able to unhear the rip variant - the "true" version, in my eyes, is now Guilty Eyes Creeper.

HIGHLY recommend aquarium footage and Minecraft music

MCSM Music Resource Pack

I made a Minecraft Story Mode Music Resource Pack for 1.19.2!

I went through all the original music from MCSM and picked songs that I felt best translated to similar vanilla Minecraft music!

Get an immersive MCSM musical experience with this pack!

I can’t host this on Planet Minecraft because it’s so large.

You can download the file here.

Just download the 94mb ZIP file, put it in your resourcepacks folder, and then when you load up version 1.19.2 you can add the resource pack to your game!

Sometimes I put this track on repeat and just close my eyes for a while.

Me: *hears a song that sounds peacefully existential and vaguely like childhood*
