Hi there! Have you ever gotten bored of the default, lifeless music in vanilla Minecraft? Ever tried mods to solve your problem but couldn't use them in 1.14 because they weren't updated? Well say no more!
Trigger the Music is a datapack inspired by mods like Ambience and ActualMusic and specifically created to give your Minecraft world a richer and more vibrant auditory tone; it stops all the boring Minecraft music and replaces it with different music that plays dependent on your situation! It also goes well with other situational datapacks such as Immersive Sounding.
Bugs are very possible, though it is pretty stable at the moment. Don't be afraid to leave an issue report (check tabs above) if you have any problems; please note that I am unable to make music smoothly transition to each other due to limitations with the /stopsound command. If you want smooth transitions between songs, vote for Mojang to add a delay parameter to the /stopsound command here. Now with the 1.2 update this datapack supports ambient noises; All you have to do to enable them is run /trigger toggle_ambience ingame with the new datapack.

Creating Your Own Resource Pack
Unfortunately, due to the way in which Minecraft handles playing music, there isn't a simple way for this datapack to see if a song is still playing; in order to deal with this issue the datapack has set lengths for each individual group of songs. This in turn means that in order to make a custom song pack yourself, you'll either have to keep the song lengths relatively the same, modify the datapack, or deal with long gaps and sudden stopping in your song pack. After I get a few kinks figured out, I'll post a guide explaining how you can modify the datapack to incorperate your own custom song packs.

CircuitLord - for making/compiling most of the songs in the resource pack and for putting it under the GNU GPLv3 licence for modification :) (The original pack he made for ActualMusic can be found here the resource pack for vanilla Minecraft is a modified form of his resource pack to make it work in vanilla)

DOWNLOAD AND USAGE
In order for this datapack to work, you MUST have both the datapack installed (placed inside of the datapacks folder inside your world folder) and the resource pack installed. You can find both in the "Files" section above or to the right of this page. Once you have both files installed, type /reload in your world to load the datapack.
There are four trigger objectives that are enabled for all players:
- /trigger ready_music (reloads and restarts your music. Useful for skipping a song or playing a song after a reload)
- /trigger toggle_music (prefer Minecraft's music? Use this trigger to toggle the music from this datapack. Useful for servers)
- /trigger play_ambience (reloads and restarts the ambient noise playing.
- /trigger toggle_ambience (enable and disable the ambient noises)
