The jingle about preparing a meal with only lava and a chicken was way too catchy and got added into Minecraft itself with a fitting change. And it sounds just as good.
A Minecraft Movie has been talked about in many ways this year. It sparked memes, a popcorn throwing trend and had one of the catchiest little songs, performed by Jack Black. While many were rightfully angry about the throwing of popcorn, it was hard to be mad at the song. It was everywhere, annoying and yet just so catchy.
In late June, an 8-bit version of the song – without vocals but therefore longer – has been added to the Java and Bedrock version of the game. The song can be played by putting the Lava Chicken music disc into the jukebox. There is one problem though – to get the music disc you need a very rare appearance of a Chicken Jockey.
How To Get The Disc
To get your square hands on the music disc, you need to kill a baby zombie riding a chicken aka a Chicken Jockey. Since that little chicken riding monster is what caused all of the thrown popcorn and yelling teens, it seems fitting to reference the movie that way.
In the Java version you need a lot of patience, since the spawn rate of them is so rare. In the Bedrock version, baby zombies can mount other mobs, so you just need to lure a baby zombie to a place where a lot of chickens are present. It's not guaranteed but has higher chances.
If you encounter a chicken jockey, kill the baby zombie first and the chicken last. If you kill the chicken first, the jockey just becomes a regular baby zombie again and it doesn't work. The 8-bit version of the song and how to get it are cute little ways to pay homage to the movie. The problem is that now, I have the song stuck in my head all the time again.
