Custom Music (Mindthemood's Inspiration Vibes)

This mod was made using Mcreator, a free modding platform for Minecraft that uses a coding system similar to Scratch to make modding easier for non-coders. If you want to add your own music, you’ll first want to download the latest version of Mcreator.

• Next, you’ll need to actually get some music files. If you genuinely like the music, please buy it legitimately! Artists gotta make a living too, you know.
• Ideally, download your music as .ogg files. If you can only get MP3 files, you can use something like Audacity, (a free sound editing program), to convert your songs into the proper format.
• Once you’ve got the Mcreator downloaded, put the ‘Mindthemood’s Workspace’ file in your Mcreator Workspaces folder. (You can find it at C:\Users\(your user ID)\MCreatorWorkspaces). 
• You should now be able to open the mod in Mcreator! Open Mcreator, then open the workspace file you downloaded. Once it's loaded, navigate to the ‘resources’ tab, and from there to the ‘sounds’ tab. Import all of your music files here.
• Learn how block coding works. (Optional)
• Ignore the folder labeled ‘Technical Stuff,’ unless you really feel confident with your knowledge of how block code works.
• Going back to the main workspace, you should see a bunch of procedures labeled ‘Day Music,’ ‘Lush Music,’ etc. These are all the different sound cues, and by opening these procedures, you can determine which songs play in which circumstances. Just change the sound-blocks to the sound files you imported earlier, and change the ‘delay’ to the duration of the song in ticks. (The length of the song, times 20). As long as the delay is longer than the song, you shouldn’t have to worry about songs playing on top of each other.
• If you want to test to make sure something is working, just set all of the sound blocks for a cue to your desired song, get in the correct circumstances for the song to play, and use the ‘playsong’ command to force a cue.
• When you’re satisfied, export the mod. You should download a .Jar file with your custom music, which will function like any other mod. (Though to be clear, you should not distribute it with others unless you have rights to the music you’ve used.)

• You can use a couple new commands to affect how music plays. Namely, the following:
• The ‘playsong’ command triggers a music cue, immediately playing a song appropriate for the situation. It does this even if a song is already playing, so, uh, use sparingly.
• The ‘musicvolume’ command lets players individually alter the volume of music. Enter a number from 0-1 to decrease or increase music volume. (This is set to 0.3 by default.)
• The ‘musicfrequency’ command lets you alter how frequently music plays. Enter a number from 0-0.6 to decrease or increase music frequency. (This is set to 0.6 by default, meaning that at morning, noon, twilight, and midnight, a music cue has a 60% chance of occurring.) 
• Finally, the ‘ambiencevolume’ and ‘ambiencefrequency’ commands do the same thing as the first two, but for ambient noise. Ambiencebvolume is set to 0.2 by default, and ambiencefrequency is set to 10 by default.
• If you want to play a specific song, just use the ‘playsound’ command and whatever the name of the song is.

Provided is the default tracklist, (The one that is built into the mod), and the recommended tracklist, (Additional music that I cannot provide for copyright reasons, but that I highly recommend if you’re willing to give a couple bucks to some fantastic artists in exchange for some .ogg files.) Also note that because most of Minecraft’s music is non-situational, many of the more specific scenarios do not include unique music. (At least not by default.) 

Situations are listed in order of priority: Essentially, the game checks for higher priority situations first, and only moves on if that situation’s conditions are not met.

Dragon Music

• Plays while fighting the dragon. (Or rather, while within 1000 blocks of the End Dragon.) 
• ‘Boss’ by C418, remixed by yours truly to consist of three separate, randomly modulated stages. The first plays when the dragon is at full health, the second when the dragon is injured, and the third when the dragon is below half health. 
• Remixed with distorted snippets of other tracks from the game, along with clips of the Giygas Theme from Earthbound, purely because they go surprisingly well together.

Wither Music

• Plays when fighting the Wither. (Or rather, while within 300 blocks of a Wither.)

• ‘Kermetic’ by Euginosis, from the Minecraft Dungeons OST, remixed by yours truly to consist of two separate, randomly modulated stages. The first plays when the Wither is above half health, and the second when it is below half health. (And enters melee mode.) 

• Remixed with garbled whispering and distorted screams/wither noises, because Minecraft clearly isn’t pushing the 10+ age rating far enough already. (Looking at you, Warden.)

Victory Music

• Plays after the dragon has been defeated; only plays once per player. (Subsequently respawning the dragon does not retrigger this track upon victory.
