@MordredSimp @Kyonko802 @Nanakoko they didn't get rid of (most) of his music. he doesn't make music for the game anymore and they have added the new composer's tracks, so you don't hear c418's as much.
there were some of his tracks that were removed from the game while he was still working on it, even while notch was still on i think, but idk why. there are some that only appeared on the console and pocket editions too, which now don't really exist.
i vastly prefer his music too, though. new tracks range from being okay to not fitting the game at all. my sentiment with the game in general is that it was better back in the days of the dedicated console editions before it started getting super bloated.
