Another new update has been released forMinecraft’s Bedrock Edition, bringing a rare new music disc that containsA Minecraft Movie’s iconic Lava Chicken song alongside several minor changes and bug fixes. Fans playing the Java Edition ofMinecrafthave been able to enjoy this new music disc since that version’s 1.21.7 update was released near the end of June, but players can now annoy their friends with this rendition of the Lava Chicken tune in multiplayer worlds across any and all platforms.
A Minecraft Movieachieved massive popularityafter its debut in April, starring Jack Black as Steve alongside other big names, including Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, and Emma Myers. The movie’s wacky setting and story gave birth to quite a few memes too, some of which no doubt grew even more popular than the film itself. For those who are out of the loop or simply haven’t had the chance to watch it yet, the latest music disc to arrive inMinecraftis based on the Lava Chicken tune sung by Jack Black during a scene in the movie, which focuses on Steve cooking up some chicken using lava.
The song that players can listen to in the game doesn’t actually contain Jack Black’s singing, though it does feature vocals fromMinecraft’s Villager mob, which is debatably even better. The track is a mostly chiptune rendition of the original song created by Hyper Potions, and can be obtained in-game by killing a Chicken Jockey. The latest update forMinecraft: Bedrock Editiondoesn’t add much beyond this one small but amusing new music disc, though it does address a variety of bugs across several platforms and introduces a couple of minor quality-of-life tweaks. In particular, the latest version tones down the light intensity emissions from most torches when usingMinecraft’s Vibrant Visuals graphics settings, a change that has been quite widely suggested since the feature first launched.
