Previews of tracks in
Minecraft have been shortened to 30 seconds on this wiki in accordance with fair use rationale. "
11" and "
Magnetic Circuit" are exempt from this.
"Sweden" is a Passacaglia, with a changing melody over a repeated bass line. It is a calm track with soft, somber piano chords that loop that are later joined by strings, which somewhat abruptly stop after a while, leaving the piano alone. After a brief pause, pizzicato strings quietly play the melody before the piano comes back and finishes the song with a glockenspiel and harp accompaniment.

“
"Sweden" is by far the most popular song, and I think it's because of it's [sic] very minimalistic chord progression that you can follow very easily. It is also based on the principle the song "Minecraft" is built on. Slow buildup, slowly fading away.

- A remixed version of "Sweden" by C418 was released as "Beta" for the album 148.
- The name "Sweden" was based on the country of the same name, Minecraft's country origin and Notch's birthplace.
