Minecraft Adds Viral “Lava Chicken” Song from the Movie as a New Music Disc

Did the words “Chicken Jockey” in the Minecraft Movie make you cheer? Has “Lava Chicken” by Jack Black been looping in your head for weeks? If not, well… it probably will now. (Sorry in advance.)

Things are about to escalate, because Mojang has officially added the “Lava Chicken” track to Minecraft—and they did it in the most hilariously on-brand way possible.

How to Get the “Lava Chicken” Music Disc in Minecraft

As part of the 1.21.94 update, players can now find a new music disc titled “Lava Chicken”, a remix by Hyper Potions based on Jack Black’s song from the Minecraft Movie. The track stays true to the game’s classic style but brings all the chaotic energy of the film, making it both catchy and potentially maddening—especially if you sneak it into someone’s base via a hidden jukebox.

How do you get it?

You’ll need to defeat one of Minecraft’s rarest and funniest mobs: a baby Zombie riding a Chicken, also known as a Chicken Jockey. Upon defeating it, you’ll have a chance to obtain the music disc.

Why It’s So Iconic

If you’ve seen the movie or followed the buzz around it, you’ll understand why this moment is legendary. In the film, Lava Chicken is introduced as an in-world dish, accompanied by Jack Black’s character, Steve, performing an over-the-top musical number to celebrate it.

Even more unforgettable is the scene where Jason Momoa’s character faces off against a Chicken Jockey—a baby Zombie on a Chicken. This moment went wildly viral, with audiences in theaters erupting into chaos. Some fans threw popcorn, others screamed in excitement, and one person reportedly brought a real live chicken to the cinema just to honor the scene.

Mojang Embraces the Madness

It’s clear Mojang has fully leaned into the Minecraft Movie phenomenon. By adding this musical easter egg to the game, they’ve not only paid homage to the film but also embraced the community’s love for the absurd and the iconic.

So if you're ready to relive the chaos—or just want to mess with your friends—hunt down a Chicken Jockey and let Lava Chicken echo through your blocky world.
