The Minecraft soundtrack will be inducted into the US National Recording Registry.

Composed by Daniel Rosengeld, Minecraft: Volume Alpha will be preserved alongside the Microsoft reboot chime which was created by British musician Brian Eno.

Minecraft’s music is the second video game soundtrack to join the registry. The first was the Super Mario Bros. theme in 2023.

“These are the sounds of America – our wide-ranging history and culture,” said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden.

“The Library of Congress is proud and honoured to select these audio treasures worthy of preservation, including iconic music across a variety of genres, field recordings, sports history, and even the sounds of our daily lives in technology.”

Last year, Minecraft was part of the Swedish games trade body Dataspelsbranschen’s Game Culture Canon. It was developed as part of Sweden’s minister for culture Parisa Liljestrand’s plans to develop an official culture canon for the country.

Earlier this week, the Minecraft movie adaptation grossed $157 billion at the US box office during its opening weekend.

The film was estimated to earn between $70 million and $80 million. A Minecraft Movie released last Friday (April 4) with a budget of $150 million.
