Better When Groovier
Adds the missing C418 music that fits the minecraft style to Better Then Adventure
About this Mod
Current BTA version: 7.3_04
Original mod by jamdoggie3
This mod adds back the new music added in later Minecraft versions from Minecraft volume beta, gives a few previously unused tracks from both volumes a purpose, and adds some general polish to the music system.
Groovier additions
All of theses fit the minecraft theme and can be configured via modmenu. More comming soon™
- C418 Excursions album
Sound system improvements:
- Music now stops playing when entering a world, exiting to the menu, or otherwising changing worlds

- Beginning
- Beginning 2
- Door (previously unused to my knowledge)
- Floating Trees
- Moog City 2
- Mutation
Creative mode music:
The following music now plays when in creative mode:
- Aria Math
- Biome Fest
- Blind Spots
- Dreiton
- Haunt Muskie
Nether music:
The following music now plays when in the nether:
- Concrete Halls

Seasonal music:
A few tracks now play during certain seasons and times of day:
Fall:

Winter:

The vanilla music from Minecraft Volume Alpha still also plays, and there is only a 50% chance a seasonal track will even play when applicable.
This mod also adds C418's bandcamp to the title screen above the copyright disclaimer. Once again, please support C418. He does wonderful work, and deserves support for creating one of the most iconic video game soundtracks of all time. He also makes really great music other than the Minecraft soundtracks.
