- The Musician So Good, She Replaced Minecraft’s C418...
Lena Raine has managed to replace c418 for Minecraft's Composer slot in just over 5 years. But from barely breaking even to becoming an icon for millions. How she did it will shock you... I Spent about 200 hours creating this video and every element in it so if you could sub or follow elsewhere it would really mean a lot.

I honestly hold great respect for C418. He missed out on a lot of money in order to keep his rights over the music he makes. That takes a lot of strength to do.
Imagine preferring your own integrity over cash in 2024.
@@ZarHakkar i think people like that are awesome and rad as hell
@@ZarHakkarhe was already pretty famous and stood on his own feet to make money using music, he doesn't need the approval of a multibillion company

@@user-s4g1qw5d74 pretty sure his comment meant that most people these days are awful people who will sell their souls and anyone else's for money.
c418's music feels eerie but welcoming and familiar, kind of like the way worlds used to look in alpha and beta -- it almost felt as if it were radiating from the land itself.
Bro I already heard that in a video you did NOT make that up 💀💀💀

Imo, she did not replace C418, just like new Minecraft does not replace old one. She's doing something different, something new, and same goes for new minecraft.
Exactly
No she definatly is replacing c418 they legit made it less likely for you to hear c4s music in game in favor of the other songs.
@@princeCustos324 Show me the line of code that proves Minecraft is prioritising non-C418 music.
Is minecraft actually good now or still boring af where the only appeal is building with friends (since exploration was lackluster af when I played even with mods).
@@KabalFromMK9 I dont think thats what they meant, I think they meant that since new Lena-Made tracks play in the same biomes as C418's stuff would, you're less likely to hear C418's stuff since there's more options for Minecraft to choose to play.
ngl no one can replace c418.

Exactly
But Lena is still very talented, and I probably like the Celeste soundtrack more than C418’s Minecraft soundtrack

This is one of those "blame the game, not the player" situations
I actually like the new minecraft music! I just wish that mojang wouldn't replace the C418's old music with the new one. The new music is a lot more atmospheric and more fits the newer minecraft at some moments, but the old music should still play as often as it played before. I just hope that the old music will still be relevant while Lena Raine will make music with her own style.
And wow Amazing ! C418's music is still in the game, what a SHOCK !
@@lukasfojtik7950 the thing is c418 was never replaced with lena raine's music. it's just played alongside her music
Yes, but from my experience playing (and logically it makes sense, when there is more music to choose from) the music from c418 plays rarely. I would like Minecraft music to play maybe a bit more often, so i would still hear the new music, without sacrificing the old ones
@@lukasfojtik7950in what biome do you live in? In plains, c418 music seems to play 50% of the time from my experience, in forests and caves, more like 1/5 songs.
Listen to the c418 End and nether music. I feel like that is peak Minecraft ambiance
Wouldn’t it be sick if when starting a new world, you had the option to pick between classic C418 and a fully revamped soundtrack by Lena.
Maybe you could also mix and match the tracks?
Idk I’ve just been playing paper Mario ttyd remake a lot so I think this idea could be cool from the fact that I keep switching soundtracks in that game
Mods help with that. There is one that equalizes the distribution of old tracks with new ones so neither can supersede each-other which I like.
@@corneliusmcmuffin3256what’s the name of it? I’d like to try it :D
spotify my beloved
@@corneliusmcmuffin3256 Not everyone has Java or can get mods. The "just get mods" argument doesn't really help.
I think the argument of "C418 is better than Lean Raine" or vise versa is stupid. Both of them are amazing artists, with their own great style.
I don't think people are arguing who's music is fundamentally better, but more so who's music is better for minecraft
In my opinion C418s music is legendary and will never be beaten, it was perfect for what Minecraft was, if Minecrafts soul was in the form of music that was C418s music.
Lean Raines music is really good, and sometimes i think she makes a soundtrack that fits really well. But overall, it doesn't capture Minecrafts soul nearly as perfectly. She makes good music, but the question is does she make good Minecraft music? Too that I say, yes i think she does at times, but C418s was perfect and pretty much every single soundtrack he made was iconic and perfect for what Minecraft is. His music heightened the experience by alot and that's what's important to recognise
@@theoneandonlyufomini-botwho tf is elias
Only thing Raine will do is contribute to the 48%. Dievershitty hire plain and simple.
@theoneandonlyufomini-bot it's lena dickhead, also C418 suggested her to Microsoft in the first fucking place.
@IdunWotDaily either way, it still isn't right.

she does good music but nothing will surpass c418
Apples and oranges
Correct
someone had to say it. we all agree no matter what
Yeah her music is great! But it is't minecraft........................It isn't c418.
well said man, well said...
C418 music was never removed, they are still in the game, you can still hear them alongside Lena's, Kumi and others composers music
If they did then they would lose a lot of players and get a lot of hate
@@Benm8_frfr
Removing c418s music would be absolutely DETRIMENTAL to the fanbase.
C418 is perfect for what Minecraft is.
Lena Raine is perfect for what Minecraft is going.
I think aeron cherof is also really underrated
I think the new 1.21 music is just incredible, no bad ones apart from one imo, which is really good compared to how many they added
Perfectly put
@@honooryu5374 thanks
Exactly.
C418 was perfect for Notch's Minecraft. An oasis of creativity, fun memories with friends and the joy of discovery. A brand-new, beautiful and frightening world of wonders, ready for you to sink hundreds upon hundreds of hours into. A beautiful piece of art, made by a passionate artist.
Lena is perfect for Microsoft's Minecraft. A soulless, corporate husk devoid of direction, designed to make as much money as possible through cutting corners, with lazy devs and corporate slaves calling themselves "musicians", who in reality are ready to stab their fellow colleague in the back for a crumb of that multi-trillion company's dollar.
This game was gone after Microsoft bought it, and the complete spit on the face of the musican who made this game what it used to be, was the final nail in the coffin.
I have zero respect for Lena and other greedy, pathetic corporate bootlickers who stole Rosenfeld's place.
@@April480p What
tl;dr
C418 wanted to own the rights to his music, but microsoft also wanted to own the rights to his music, therefore nothing worked out
Thing is, C418's position is his contract with Mojang was to give him authority over Minecraft Volume 3... and Microsoft wants to scrap the contract for greed purposes.
@@shrivak so, literally what i just said.
_"The Musician So Good, She Replaced Minecraft’s C418..."_
I beg to differ. Nothing will ever replace his work.
The title and thumbnail are a little misleading but it's very nice to learn about Lena Raine and her history.
ALso cool, I didn't know there was a whole interview about her, how did I miss this?!?!
His*
A little misleading is an understatement
"Infinite Amethyst" is ironically what solidified to me the notion that no one can replace C418 and no composer will ever capture the soul of Minecraft again. It's easily her magnum opus for Minecraft and yet it's alien. It doesn't have the core of Minecraft: the existential dread that infinite possibilities represents.
Her music isn't a theme for Minecraft so much as it was a theme for someone's vision of Minecraft as they craft it into their image for us to enjoy. It forgets that Minecraft is a canvas for players to paint on, not for an artist to express themselves and then sell to the masses. It's not corporate persay, but it's too full of humanity and the need to acknowledge either the new direction of Minecraft or the feelings the old players still have for it. What's lost is what Minecraft was and what still lies underneath the veneer of Caves and Cliffs or even the earlier Exploration updates. Infinite possibilities rather than select, curated, multiplex choices.
If you want to argue that her music is better for new Minecraft, I'd agree. But new Minecraft and the core of Minecraft are no longer one in the same. That's why so many believe the game has lost its soul. In more ways than one, it truly has.
I think if they want to replace C418's music with Raine's, they should add all of C418's as music discs, or make an option for classic Minecraft music to play alongside or instead of the new music.
c418 music is already alongside lena raines music
We will know if Lena’s music is good if the kids that are playing Minecraft now are feeling nostalgia in 10 years when they are listening to her music.
Only then we will know if Lena’s music is good.
That has nothing to do with being good. Kids will be nostalgic about whatever brainrot is mainstream during childhood. They'll literally have nostalgia over skibidy toilet or wtvr
Personally, I absolutely love and adore lena raines music, but I understand why some people dont
Maybe because letting go is hard.
@@Enderwave22So true. There are too many people that can’t handle nostalgia :/
@@Enderwave22 Or because their styles do differ and some people just prefer it. Lena makes great music, I just prefer that unique something that C418 manages to create.
maybe because she's a w*man and that's kinda disgusting
I don't even dislike Lena Raine, I just don't like her music for Minecraft specifically
I like some of Lena Raines Minecraft music but there is something off about it compared the C418’s. Like whenever you hear Moog City, Sweden wet hands, blocks, or Minecraft. You know what each of those songs are. But with the new Minecraft music it all just sounds the same (to at least me) like whenever you hear infinite amethyst, left to bloom, wending or floating dream. You could swap any of those songs and nobody would notice. But a ome of this is probably just nostalgia for C418’s old work.
EDIT: this could also be because Minecraft gets more music every update now instead of every few updates.
This. I honestly do like a lot of the music, but it feels like a *shift* in change rather than an evolution, which is not inherently Lena's fault. That falls into the overall design of the game and her music's incorporation.
I definitely feel it's the nostalgia factor that affects how c418's music impacts you.
Some of the older Lena Raine songs for me personally are starting to become nostalgic for me, and while of course they are different some what, they are definitely minecraft.
You've heard those songs by C418 hundreds and hundreds of times over several years. Given time, I feel Lena's work will also stand out just as much.
@varunagrawal7036 i just installed a music pack called "recued" which will ideally give me a chance to listen to her and the other new non c418 music along side the c418 music at a reasonable balance. 👍
She is at her best when not trying to emulate C418s overworld music. This can be seen clear as day in the nether and ancient citys were she has full creativ freedom.
Lena Raine is one of my biggest inspirations for music.
She is so goooood
@@kugelstich8632 ikrr
I am personally confused by the thumbnail
there is no "better" here, they're just different
its just clickbait/ragebait
i love listening to otherside and infinite amethyst. but then bloody mojang yet again changed the song makers twice. it went from lena to samuel amberg. then from samuel to aron cheif. and then they kept aron, whilst also bringing back lena for both the original and music box version of creator. MOJANG MAKE YOUR BLOODY MIND UP ON WHO YOU WANT TO MAKE MUSIC
Are multiple composers not allowed?
@@MustacheOnMars9 im not saying no but its just kinda annoying a bit. but yes they are allowed little kid
@@YaEh215Kumi Tanioka is the forgotten one
@@MustacheOnMars9I think one music director is inarguably better, for the same reason why multiple directors is a bad idea. Not to say it doesn’t always work, I love pizza tower and that’s a collection of different artists working on a project, but personally having one directed vision and following through with that vision more than not leaves a more satisfying result.
@@corneliusmcmuffin3256 You know what, fair point. I can see where you’re coming from.
I think Lena Raine’s music fits Minecraft’s gradual transition to more and more complex ideas, but overall Minecraft to me personally is about the simplicity and calmness of the game that the older versions and music have. I like Pigstep and Otherside but I overall much prefer the more chill, nostalgic, and simple feel that the C418 brings with the vast majority of his Minecraft music
This is probably the worst rage bait video I've had the displeasure of clicking on.
ikr
You cooked this video, both have iconic lasting era's for one of the biggest games on earth
Cooked? Dude made a 11 minute long video ranting about some rando who took over C418's job and calls her 'better' with an ordinary shitty clickbait looking ass thumbnail. So let me ask you again, 'cooked'?
Minecraft fans are so stuck in the past. They struggle so hard to see any form of change in what they see as "perfect," so when c418 stopped making music for the game, these people got it in their head that whoever made more music needed to make it exactly like the old stuff. No, Lena's music isnt exactly like c418 music, but it doesnt need to be. It creates a wonderful effect regardless. People love to judge her work and only ever rate her music as it compares to c418, which isnt fair. Her music still creates wonderful images in my mind and brings back memories of my time playing Minecraft. Her use of motifs and ambience still very much carries many attributes of c418's work, but its meant to be new and different at the same time.
c418 never stopped making music for the game it was microsoft who didnt let him to make music for it
@@alen4704I think it’s this that leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Lena and C418 have entirely different methodologies and only one of them lined up with a profit driven corporation. Lena wants to share her music influence others and cares little about ownership of her music, just the impact, c418 wants to own his music and it’s a completely reasonable thing to want, he doesn’t do it for the money or fame but out of the craft itself. They are 2 respectable people but one gets shafted because of greed. It’s sad but we don’t live in a perfect world.
No one is hating on her style bro. It’s this clown who’s using clickbait to create a divide in the comments.
They are both different people with their own styles, so why even compare? They both can be here
C418 will always be better....
I dislike Lena Raine's Minecraft music simply because nobody can come close to C418's style. It's not just nostalgia, either. Anyone could recognize C418 from his non-Minecraft albums, which can't be said about Rena. She's stuck between her own variety of music and C418's, making her contribution to Minecraft confusing and unsatisfying.
Exactly. All I can think of is Celeste when I listen to her Minecraft music
She needs to get more variety in her music
Bro it’s not nostalgic bc you didn’t listen to it when you were playing Minecraft 10years ago. Music is a Carrier for nostalgia, you get nostalgia for being in a state of freedom, like in Minecraft.
its a he. dont call it a she. cuz its a man
minecraft is not bound tô c418, minecraft is a different game from what it was when Daniel made music for it, but people refuse to understand this
No one is replacing the GOAT of Minecraft music lil bro. Lena Raine's good, but she's just adding to the masterpieces that C418 pioneered
Nah there good in their own style
No nostalgia shit bias
To be honest, I like Lena Raine’s music
Not one, not two, but 3 dramatic fades to the next segment? Someone's watched too many videos essays
honestly, Lena Rain's music is one of these few things that not irritates me in new Minecraft. it's lovely!
but yes, Mojang, give us back C418. there is still place for a third album in this game..
I barely finished the main story of Celeste a few days ago and already loved Lena’s OSTs. Realizing that she’s adding her own contributions to Minecraft is just awesome.
nobody can replace C418 in my heart but her music is good
My exact thoughts
Honestly, I like Lena's music... as well as the other new musicians... but 90% of it really doesn't fit Minecraft. The sudden sharp starts to the music, the high-frequencies, the lack of soft piano, the smooth crescendos, practically non-existent. Plus, the instant feeling of nostalgia, like you're traveling a world you've forgotten, is practically missing.
"Try not to chase greed challenge" microsoft: Impossible
the soundtrack C418 composed for this game is an absolute masterclass and in my opinion singlehandedly created the strange lonesome semi surrealist "feel" of old minecraft. Lena's music doesn't jump out to me from a narrative or atmospheric context like C418's soundtrack did. It's actually legit one of the best video game soundtracks ever made when judged as a soundtrack, not as an album (judging songs based entirely on how they add to the game experience and your emotions as you play, not as songs themselves). The only other soundtrack I can think of that comes close in this regard is Yume Nikki's soundtrack as it similarily to minecraft's also singlehandedly creates Yume Nikki's unique & otherworldly atmosphere and makes you feel something special while playing you would not be able to feel without the soundtrack.
I personally think Mojang should have kept C418 but also introduced new artists. Just imagine what Lena Raine and C418 could have made if they worked together.
Thank you for shedding light on an amazing creator I barely knew anything about despite playing regularly minecraft and always hearing her songs in the background.
For the people mad in the comments, it's not about "replacing" C418, it's about adding new artistic touches to a game enjoyed by millions.
Great video dude! :D
Shes such a queen! Ive been following her work since she wrote for Celeste and shes gotten better and better!
she's soo good
There is a lot of misinformation on Lena here. First of all Lena studied at Cornish not USC. Second, Celeste released in 2018, she released her first minecraft music in 2020 and deltarune chapter 2 released in 2021. The timeline you created seems very inaccurate. You don't even mention any previous projects before Celeste like Guild Wars 2 (which is a HUGE one). There are a couple more things that don't seem to be accurate and is mindless speculation. Please do more research before telling an entire community inaccurate information.
Thank you zagan black, I will not and continue to make mistakes in my videos as if i intended to do it. Get real bro lmao

I like how instead of trying to replicate what C418 has masterfully done, Lena tries to bring new light to Minecraft's soundtrack and create something original, leaving her signature on the game. She's genuinely a very talented music creator from everything I've listened to (I say this despite never actually listening to the Celeste OST) and deserves more respect, instead of those shallow ''modern Minecraft music sucks/doesn't fit the game'' videos.
listen to celeste ost! or play the game hehe- it will genuinely change your life
@@qtpaulie I could never get into celeste, the music is awesome, ngl, but I suck at 2D games lol
Lena Raine is NOT Minecraft's "sole composer" like c418 was. That is misinformation. Minecraft has hired various composers in recent years. Kumi Tanioka and Samuel Åberg worked with Lena on Caves and Cliffs and the Wild Update. Aaron Cherof was the composer for Trails and Tales.
and the 3 (not counting Samuel Åberg) did the whole 1.21 album.
Thumbnail saying it’s better should be a crime
Well I mean, isn't there Aaron cherof and Kumi? and im pretty sure Samuel made the disk 5 too(I think)
She in my opinion really did a good job at recreating the feelings c418 gave
Nah.
How is Deltarune a stepping stone to Celeste?
Celeste came out in 2018, but Lena only worked on chapter 2.
I mean, if anyone was set to take the stand of such an iconic composer, I'd say the one who composed the music of f***ing _Celeste_ is a good bet
Autism
Lmao, no. The answer is nobody. Nobody can replace someone, don't think like an idiot.
actually🤓 in the beginning you got the timeline wrong, she used to work for other bigger games and companies like ubisoft and guild wars and then she got called for celeste in 2016-17, which was like the thing that made her famous and then she got hired by minecraft to make the music for the nether update in 2019-20, to only then make a few guest songs for deltarune with the game releasing in 2021, also making the music for chicory a colorul tale in 2021 and now working on beastieball by the same guys who made chicory, with also some other stuff i forgot to mention
C418 sounds more like a classic minecraft, Lena Raine fits better with the modern minecraft

0:30 does anyone know what song this is? I hear it a lot but I haven’t been able to find it.
It’s called Hide - CS01

Respectfully no one replace c418, but both are special and good in their own way
TLDR C418 is not being replaced with Lena Raine. They are keeping C418’s music in the game. Lena is just making recognizable music for the game like C418.

thank you so much
it annoys me that nobody ever brings up the other composers I know Lena Raine is the biggest name with the composers right now but she's not the only one-

Like he cares lmfao. It makes him more money when you click. Welcome to CZcams. Welcome to business. Welcome to soullessness.
The title of this video is kinda wrong, they didnt replace C418's music with Lena Raine's since the tracks from both artists still play in-game.
I like both artists
dude i somehow never made the connection that Lena Raine (Minecraft) and Lena Raine (Celeste) were the same person
lmao
To me, I think Lena is a great musician. Obviously, you can't fill in the shoes of a titan but she has a style that really works for Minecraft. I recall seeing online that C418 himself chose her as his successor, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, I think Minecraft still has a great soundtrack, even with the newer songs.
I really wish they made a toggle to switch between new music and old music. It would have solved so many issues. I like music from both artists.
When I heard Infinite Amethyst by Lena for the first time it felt Nostalgic & already Iconic from a first listen. Perfect for Minecraft. It's a shame you can only hear it in Lush Caves as the track is that good, wouldn't mind if it played just anywhere in the overworld aside the deep dark.
One complaint with the video: at the beginning you showed a picture of Christa Lee, one of Lena’s friends
I love Lena's music, but it just doesn't fit
says "deltarune" but shows "undertale" clips
I think lena's music it's ok, not to say its great or bad some tones fit in Minecraft some don't, but still are Ok, but if Mojang was thinking to replace C418 to Lena i would be pissed, every year the game gets more updates and modernized everything but also keeping the old things what made Minecraft as big and popular today.
I also know for a fact that Lena is transgender and to just clarify that doesn't bother me even tho I'm straight, but i do respect the work she does to make it as memorable as some tones did with C418, maybe she hasn't gotten there yet but eventually and with more creativity she will be in the top of those games and tones that made it memorable.
Who knows, we would never know until we see it happen in the future, as for C418 he stays as a legend and no one can't or could never replace his music from Minecraft for it, it's what made it so iconic to begin with.
Every opinion is welcome, after all, they're just opinions. Have a great day.
why the transness mention lol? that has nothing to do with her music.
@@qtpaulie indeed, but is in fact a transgender, or is it not?
@@Tatokun92 she* is trans, yes. but it doesn't matter with regard to her music.
@@qtpaulie hey, um just saying, nothing else
End track goes hard

excellently edited!
C418 will always be on top
I personally like Lena Raine's music more to be honest as it captures a fantasy vibes of minecraft with shaders. Unlike C418 his music it feels like a classic minecraft without shaders. My favorite music of C418 is the Aria Math.
Both are good
I saw a comment that cleared up some stuff, but I wanna add more to that from what I've heard and read. It wasn't that Lena was struggling to find work as a composer it's more that I don't think she was actively composing for games at the time. She was working at ArenaNet as a game designer and was a tester for nintendo at some point and probably just did music on her own time. She did write a few game soundtracks before Celeste, but Celeste seems like it was the stepping stone to becoming a full time freelancer which led to all the other opportunities she's had
they could never replace my goat c418
