Raine benefited from the game being already accessible and played the Nether world for inspiration. Raine was provided with three-minute looping tracks as samples of what the Nether would provide. Raine used the tracks to further inspire the composition of the songs and intended to make it sound as if the song was emerging from the ambient tracks.[20] Raine noted that one of the primary instruments used for the music of Minecraft is the piano and challenged herself to use piano and modify the sound to make it sound like something else entirely.[21]
