    Wake up with Soothing Scenes

    Bask in an Overworld humming with new life

    Did you mine diamond ore with the wrong pickaxe again? Can't find your base for the hundredth time? I come bearing great news! Ah, sorry, it's not the coordinates to return home, but it is another episode of our relaxing series of Soothing Scenes!

    This time, we’re travelling to a cozy farm by the river just as the golden rays of that first morning sun shine upon the Overworld and all the new features from our Spring to Life drop. Settle into the hour-long video of ambient animations on YouTube or listen to the two new laid-back tracks on Spotify as you take a moment to relax, read, or just... I don’t know, ponder why you didn’t place a lodestone back home?

    Here’s a postcard from when I went to suss the place out for you!

    I didn't think there'd be a silver lining to getting chased by mobs, but here we are! Although, it’s much more golden-hued than silver. The sun has once again risen as my savior, and as the final flame of a burning skeleton flutters out, a kinder side of the Overworld awakens. I have no idea where I am, but around me, white and yellow wildflowers bloom and some silly little chickens float down the river. As I watch the glittering firefly particles dance in the warm breeze, I allow my thoughts to drift with them. 

    This was supposed to be a please come rescue me-letter, but do you know what – don’t bother! I'm considering picking up the banjo again. Maybe I am a morning person after all?

    Settle into more Soothing Scenes:
