I just discovered that a lot of the music from Minecraft is currently available on Sheethost. It seems like it’s been uploaded by a user called “Scamper” who has put up sheet music for other video games like Trine 2, Super Meat Boy, and Skyrim.
You can get the full list of sheet music for Minecraft that is available on Sheethost here.
Daniel Rosenfeld was interviewed for a Minecraft Monday show by Bebop Vox back in 2011. This is an interesting discussion about:
How C418 met Notch
How much does C418 play Minecraft
What C418 thinks of musical inspiration
His involvement in the 2 Player Productions Minecraft Documentary
C418’s releases after Alpha and Minecraft
The challenge of fitting more music into Minecraft
What it’s like making a living from music in this age
Daniel is obviously very talented but also a very humble guy and he takes the massive success of his work along with Minecraft and he considers himself very lucky, downplaying the role of his talent in this success.
Is C418 the most successful musician of video game music?
What’s funny is the way he keeps referring to Notch as Markus. I keep forgetting Notch is Markus!
The wonderful soundtrack by C418 which plays in Minecraft has been available for sale for a while. You can get the whole album for a great price, but do shop around. People who don’t like video games enough to even try Minecraft may even love this music!
But what if you want to play it yourself on your own piano or keyboard? Did you know that sheet music arranger Sebastian Wolff has created MIDI and Sheet Music for many of the tracks in Minecraft?

Here are the lyrics, so you can sing along:
I see you sneakin’ I can see you crouchin’ down low
Wanna’ hop up in my minecart and take a ride home
Then we’ll go to my place and craft us up some iron swords
And possibly make some potions
Stand back and watch me hack that (out at my foe)
Hack that (Zombie KO)
Hack that (MLG pro)
Hack that (oohhhhhh)
Hack that (My iron sword)
Hack that (It’s good to go)
Hack that (You mobs don’t know)
Hack that (ooohhhhh)
Sword out and I’m ready to attack now
Got all the mobs turned and runnin’ back now
An’ I got my whole inventory stacked now
Rotten flesh gets thrown out of the pack now
Ooo I see him (Don’t look back now)
Endermen are (on the crackdown)
Armor on, ready for the smackdown
Got my sword out yeah I’m ready to attack now
I see you sneakin’ I can see you crouchin’ down low
Wanna’ hop up in my minecart and take a ride home
Then we’ll go to my place and craft us up some iron swords
And possibly make some potions
Stand backa and watch me hack that (out at my foe)
Hack that (Zombie KO)
Hack that (MLG pro)
Hack that (oohhhhhh)
Hack that (My iron sword)
Hack that (It’s good to go)
Hack that (You mobs don’t know)
Hack that (ooohhhhh)
Oh, looks like another ol’ creeper he’ll wanna’ think twice before he blows this thang up
With a little flip get my sword out and he’ll be turnin’ round quick, you can bank on it
Irons or diamonds, who cares or knows, it’s the way I mine up and down them holes
Yeah I look like one of them diamond hoes, so extravagant, but that’s how it goes
Up in my house didn’t think I saw him, creeps up behind me and he’s like sssss
I’m like oh snap, I’m gonna’ decapitate, no hesitate, become irate (irate)
Umm go fo the head, what can I say
Yeah I Get it done quick, how I kill my prey
No more mobs come and bother me.
I hack that bro, that’s how I play
I see you sneakin’ I can see you crouchin’ down low
Wanna’ hop up in my minecart and take a ride home
Then we’ll go to my place and craft us up some iron swords
And possibly make some potions
Stand backa and watch me hack that (out at my foe)
Hack that (Zombie KO)
Hack that (MLG pro)
Hack that (oohhhhhh)
Hack that (My iron sword)
Hack that (It’s good to go)
Hack that (You mobs don’t know)
Hack that (ooohhhhh)
Minecart rollin’, blocks ain’t rollin’
Mobs come at me, the heads be rollin’
I’m patrollin’ big diamond sword and
Everybody knowin’ you aint getting’ past me
So just go punch that tree
The blocks all know my steez
Yo I’ll tell you come at me cause lately
