There’s now a toe-tapping Easter egg for this 12 months’s A Minecraft Film hidden inside the precise Minecraft sport — although you may have to search out a sure iconic enemy as a way to discover it.
Sure, now you can hearken to A Minecraft Film’s annoyingly catchy Steve’s Lava Rooster track (or a brand new model of it, anyway) inside Minecraft itself.
The tune, and its efficiency by a usually jocular Jack Black, was one in all A Minecraft Film’s viral scenes — and to search out it inside Minecraft, you may have to go search out the enemy behind one other of the movie’s most-memed moments: a Rooster Jockey.
As detailed in Minecraft’s newest patch notes, for this week’s replace 1.21.93, a music disc for the Lava Rooster track (remixed right into a chiptune by Hyper Potions) can now be discovered, “when defeating a child Zombie driving a Rooster (Rooster Jockey)”.
This contemporary model of the tracks lacks Jack Black’s vocals, however extends the 34-second ditty to a number of minutes by more and more amping up its dubstep beats. I’ve listened to it a number of occasions this morning and may report that, annoyingly, they’ve made it much more catchy.
Amid a breakout field workplace run in theaters that noticed A Minecraft Film notch up (no pun supposed) $955 million, and the launch of a particular singalong model of the movie, Steve’s Lava Rooster discovered its personal fame by turning into the shortest-ever observe to make the coveted US Billboard Scorching 100 Chart.

At simply 34 seconds, the track — which boasts deep lyrics like “la-la-la-lava ch-ch-ch-chicken” — was written by Black and the movie’s director Jared Hess, and marks the second online game film look by Black to characteristic a breakout track, after his flip belting out “Peaches” as Bowser within the Tremendous Mario Bros. Film.
Months after the top of A Minecraft Film’s theatrical run, it appears there’s by no means going to be an escape from Steve’s Lava Rooster. And naturally, plans for A Minecraft Film sequel have already been floated.
