There’s now a toe-tapping Easter egg for this yr’s A Minecraft Film hidden throughout the precise Minecraft recreation — although you may have to search out a sure iconic enemy in an effort to discover it.
Sure, now you can take heed to A Minecraft Film’s annoyingly catchy Steve’s Lava Hen music (or a brand new model of it, anyway) inside Minecraft itself.
The tune, and its efficiency by a sometimes jocular Jack Black, was one in every of 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 Hen Jockey.
As detailed in Minecraft’s newest patch notes, for this week’s replace 1.21.93, a music disc for the Lava Hen music (remixed right into a chiptune by Hyper Potions) can now be discovered, “when defeating a child Zombie using a Hen (Hen Jockey)”.
This recent 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 instances this morning and might 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 meant) $955 million, and the launch of a particular singalong model of the movie, Steve’s Lava Hen discovered its personal fame by turning into the shortest-ever monitor to make the coveted US Billboard Sizzling 100 Chart.

At simply 34 seconds, the music — 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 function a breakout music, after his flip belting out “Peaches” as Bowser within the Tremendous Mario Bros. Film.
Months after the tip of A Minecraft Film’s theatrical run, it appears there’s by no means going to be an escape from Steve’s Lava Hen. And naturally, plans for A Minecraft Film sequel have already been floated.
