Starts off primarily featuring a major seven chord, and later introduces darker minor chords. This, along with "Concrete Halls" and "The End", is present in Legacy Console Edition as of TU9. At the end, part of "Beginning" can be heard. The sound of lava flowing and bubbling can be heard in the background. The track is a less dissonant, more somber variant of "Concrete Halls", with softer percussion. The track begins with dark ambient sounds and distant, high-pitched synthesizers, similar to ones heard in "Ballad of the Cats", and later turns into a serene, but dramatic piano song with a fittingly warm ambient backing and an accompaniment of an oriental-sounding synth imitating a plucked instrument. This is the first of two longer songs which are "Album Only" on the iTunes online store. At times hopeful and energetic, and at other times sad and contemplative, the whole track has an intense feeling of nostalgia. It plays during the End Poem, after defeating the ender dragon. This track is an emotional orchestral reprise of some tracks from Minecraft - Volume Alpha, including "Minecraft", "Mice on Venus", "Moog City", and "Sweden". The bass notes at 0:38 can also be heard in "Concrete Halls". It opens with an echoey version of "Key", but then adds new layers of electronic ambient music.
This is a reprise (a similar, but slightly different version of a previous track) of "Key" from Minecraft - Volume Alpha (note that both have the same pronunciation). One can notice the Asian influence on tracks such as "Aria Math", "Biome Fest", "Dreiton", "Haunt Muskie", and "Flake". For example 'Taswell' or 'Aria Math'." Ĭ418 considers Volume Beta to be "dedicated to America and Asia", while Volume Alpha "might be a love record to Europe". Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. "The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. With a less minimalistic style, longer track lengths with more complex structures, and a much greater emphasis on lush, ambient synth sounds, the album has a noticeably darker and more dramatic tone than Volume Alpha, which C418 acknowledges on his website, saying: Similarly to Volume Alpha, Volume Beta includes short bonus tracks that are not in the game.

It features many music tracks that were "silently" added to Minecraft in the Music Update a few days after the album's release, as well as the music discs that were missing from the first album (except for "11"). The album includes 30 songs for a total length of about 140 minutes.
It was released on Novemon Bandcamp and Apple Music, with a later release on Spotify. Minecraft - Volume Beta is the second Minecraft soundtrack album by C418, the first being Minecraft - Volume Alpha.
