The longevity ofMinecraftwill go down in the annals of gaming history, with its near-infinite replay value and sprawling landscape that just screams potential. Despite its age, with it initially coming out in 2009,Minecraftis stillone of the most played video games of 2022, and for very good reason. Millions continue to create so many fantastic projects, and while a lot of this is pleasing to the eye, sometimes people make stuff that’s also a treat for the ears.
Recently, Reddit user Mertuch has shown their building and orchestral prowess inMinecraftby constructing a rather complicated-looking music system. A video posted to the thread shows that, when activated, the redstone-based contraption plays a very familiar tune. To many fans of theGTAseries, it will become apparent that the user has managed to recreate the theme tune toSan Andreas, using a mixture of note blocks, bales of hay, and some pumpkins as well. While it’s not the high quality of the original, it’s a very accurate facsimile and an impressive creation overall.

Anyone who’s ever played one of Rockstar’s titles will know thatGrand Theft Autois renowned for its soundtrack, with radio stations a-plenty playing everything from heavy metal to hip hop to soul. While Mertuch makes it clear in the thread’s title that their rendition is fromSan Andreas, there’s no doubt that many will recognize the tune even without being told what it is. What’s actually a nice touch to the video they’ve posted is that they can be seen standing on a platform near the huge contraption, batting away like a conductor leading an orchestra.
Thanks to the inclusion of note blocks, which were added to the game way back in 2011, fans have been able to create all sorts of interesting musical interludes and projects. For example, another player used the blocks torecreate the classical piece “Flight of the Bumblebees” inMinecraft.
Even with just the vanilla soundtrack, music is such an integral part of the game. In fact, it’s probably because of its tranquil melodies thatMinecraftis considered by some to beone of the most relaxing games around. After all these years, it’s still one of the most successful titles to be released, and with a dedicated and creative community engaging in all sorts of interesting ideas, the life of Mojang’s open world IP will likely continue unabated for a good while.
Minecraftis available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
