A Minecraft Movie soundtrack: A complete list of the music in the video game adaptation

A Minecraft Movie is all ready to make its release on 4th April, 2025. The newly released soundtrack of the film is also out now!

An original score composed by Mark Mothersbaugh, the music of this film teleports us to the magical, cubical world that it is set in. It is playful, zesty, and captures the drama and energy that is required in this video game adaptation.

Along with Mothersbaugh's composition, we have some incredible performers performing songs that are added in the mix as well. One of the performers also happens to be a cast member of the film. That is none other than Jack Black!

Helmed by Jared Hess, A Minecraft Movie is derived from the iconic game by Mojang Studios 'Minecraft.' The film follows the plot of a group of four individuals who are trapped in this unique, odd, cubic world. The film follows their adventures and misadventures together as they navigate their way out.

Along with Jack Black, the film is joined by Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Sebastian Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge.

However, let us dig into the soundtrack of A Minecraft Movie.

As per reports at Business Wire, Mark Mothersbaugh elucidated on his thoughts about the musical score of A Minecraft Movie. He said how the music required a blend which echoed not only the energising, dynamic tone of the film, but also its emotional ethos. Mothersbaugh said:

“A Minecraft Movie’ presented a unique challenge in creating a score that balanced quirky characters with the intense action sequences. The music needed to capture the charm of the characters while also driving the high-energy moments. This required a thoughtful approach to ensure the score not only complemented the film’s action but also added depth and emotional resonance, making it a vital part of the story.”
