Disc 0 (but it’s better)

The music disc “0”, otherwise known as enginetestor.ogg, is a simple song that C418, the composer for the game, made to test the new sound engine that was made for the previously new beta versions of Minecraft. While remastering and mixing the song, C418 kept trying to delete a bit of audio that was glitched but kept getting an error every time. As he kept trying to delete it, the audio slowly became more and more glitched and corrupted. Eventually, it became so glitchy that the song was drowned in glitch sounds and static.
C418 decided to give “enginetestor.ogg” to Notch anyway, and told him: “You can add it, I don't care, just hide it somewhere.” Notch added it but hid it deep in the game files, and that’s where it stayed for a year and a half until around July-August 2014, when Mojang HQ was broken into by a con artist, who messed around with the game files until finding “enginetestor.ogg” in its glitched state. The guy renamed it to simply “0.ogg” and added the audio file to the game as a music disc, naming it “C418 - 0”.
On September 2, 2014, 1.8, otherwise known as “The Bountiful Update”, was released. In a now deleted blog post by Notch posted a day after the update’s release, Notch describes having played it for a test run and started a new world to check for bugs to patch in a hotfix. 
After walking around for a bit, the terrain generation gradually started to get weirder and more deformed. Trees generating in impossible shapes, very specific shaped holes in mountains and grass, and other very noticeable touches. Eventually, Notch came across an unnaturally flat part of the world with no trees or anything. 
Right smack in the middle of the flat area was a jukebox and a chest placed next to each other. Inside of the chest was a music disc that Notch didn’t recall adding, simply titled “C418 – 0”.
Notch said the disc was filled with glitches up until 45 seconds in, when static and loud computer beeps played. Notch looked in the game files and sure enough, there was a new sound file in the directory with the title 0.ogg, and it was exactly the same as “C418 – 0”.
Notch deleted “0.ogg”, not knowing it was actually “enginetestor.ogg” and made it’s removal part of the update hotfix, 1.8.1 (but kept it out of the patch notes).
The blog post detailing Notch’s experience with 0.ogg has since been deleted, and no archives of it currently exist online—not even on the WayBack Machine!—or anywhere else.
I, the author, only know about this because I was a Minecraft player in 2014, when the blog post was made public. I spammed C418 on Twitter a bunch of times, and eventually he got back to me, telling me the story of how 0.ogg came to existence, and that the description Notch gave of the track was extremely similar to the contents of “enginetestor.ogg”.
This happened only months before Notch sold Minecraft.
