Bloody Hell, 'Steve's Lava Chicken' is IN Minecraft Now - Time to Hunt Some Chicken Jockeys!
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
The infamous 'Steve's Lava Chicken' song from the Minecraft Movie has made its way into the game as a music disc, obtainable only by defeating a Chicken Jockey. Prepare for earworm-induced madness!
Alright, listen up, you blocky adventurers! Remember that earworm of a song, 'Steve's Lava Chicken,' from the *Minecraft Movie*? The one that burrowed into your brain and refused to leave? Well, buckle up, because it's officially invaded the Minecraft game itself. And of course, there's a quest involved. (Because *everything* is a quest these days, isn't it? Not that I'm complaining!)
IGN South Africa (cheers, mates!) reported that the latest Minecraft update (1.21.93, if you're keeping score at home) sneakily added a music disc containing a remixed, chiptune version of the dreaded Lava Chicken anthem. And who do we have to thank for this? The devious minds at Hyper Potions, apparently. (Hyper Potions did their job too well - bloody thing still stuck in me head)
Now, here's the kicker: you can't just waltz into a village and find this track. Oh no, that would be far too easy. You've gotta earn it. How, you ask? By facing one of Minecraft's most bizarre and memed creatures: the Chicken Jockey! That's right, you need to defeat a baby zombie riding a chicken to unlock this musical treasure (or torment, depending on your tolerance for catchy tunes about lava poultry).
This isn't just any remix, either. While Jack Black's vocals are sadly absent, this extended version clocks in at several minutes and amps up the dubstep beats. Apparently, the IGN South Africa reporter subjected themselves to multiple listens and confirms it's even *more* addictive. (I'm scared.)
For those who somehow missed the *Minecraft Movie* (where *have* you been?), 'Steve's Lava Chicken' was a viral sensation, even briefly charting on the Billboard Hot 100. Penned by Jack Black (who else?) and the film's director, Jared Hess, it's a testament to the sheer absurdity that can make something stick in the cultural consciousness. Remember 'Peaches' from the *Super Mario Bros. Movie*? Yeah, same chaotic energy. Jack Black has a superpower, obviously.
So, grab your diamond sword, stock up on potions, and prepare for a chicken-zombie hunt. The promise of a new music disc awaits... or maybe just a crippling case of 'Lava Chicken' earworms. Either way, sounds like a fair dinkum Minecraft adventure, eh?
