In an exciting twist for fans of both the game and the film, a delightful Easter egg has been nestled within the Minecraft universe, inviting players to embark on a melodic quest. To uncover this hidden gem, players must seek out a familiar foe: the Chicken Jockey, a whimsical enemy that has become a hallmark of the franchise.
Discovering the Lava Chicken Song
The latest update, version 1.21.93, introduces a remixed music disc featuring the infectious Steve’s Lava Chicken song from A Minecraft Movie. This catchy tune, originally performed by the ever-charismatic Jack Black, has been reimagined into a chiptune by Hyper Potions, transforming the brief 34-second original into an extended version that pulses with energetic dubstep beats.
To obtain this musical treasure, players must defeat a baby Zombie riding a Chicken, known as a Chicken Jockey. While the new rendition lacks Black’s signature vocals, it compensates by amplifying the catchiness that has already captured the hearts of many. Early listeners have noted that the remix is even more addictive than its predecessor.
The song has garnered significant attention, especially following A Minecraft Movie‘s impressive box office performance, which saw it gross nearly 5 million. The film also introduced a special singalong version, further solidifying the cultural impact of the Lava Chicken track. Remarkably, this brief yet memorable song made history as the shortest track to enter the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart.

With lyrics that playfully repeat phrases like “la-la-la-lava ch-ch-ch-chicken,” the song was crafted by Black in collaboration with the film’s director, Jared Hess. This marks Black’s second foray into video game cinema, following his memorable performance of “Peaches” as Bowser in the Super Mario Bros. Movie.
As the echoes of Steve’s Lava Chicken continue to resonate, discussions about a potential sequel to A Minecraft Movie are already stirring, suggesting that this catchy tune may be just the beginning of a lasting legacy in both film and gaming.
