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™

Sound system improvements:

  • Music now stops playing when entering a world, exiting to the menu, or otherwising changing worlds
  • Music now fades out when it is stopped

Title screen music:

The following music now plays when on the title screen:

  • 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
  • Dead Voxel
  • Warmth
  • Excuse (previously unused)

Seasonal music:

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

Fall:

  • Blind spots

Winter:

  • Biome Fest
  • Flake
  • Kyoto (only at night)

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.
