Pack Purpose
This is an tutorial resource pack, combined with instructions, examples, and YouTube video.
The purpose is to explain how to implement custom sounds and music, including full instructions and examples on how to edit, change, and import your own.
This pack contains 2 example sound files, 1 music and 1 fx.
The first file (mxsxc1_sleet) is a live recording of an "electronic/techno" track by MxSxC1 called "Sleet".
MxSxC1 is the creator and owner of this, and owns full copyright. MxSxC1 is happy for this to be re-used, as long as the artist is credited and contacted.
This only applies to the version of the music contained within this pack. The final track, or any other remixes or recordings are not included in this statement.
The second file (mxsxc1_whisper) is a simple and short record "sound recording" intended for use as an example, which again was produced MxSxC1. You can do whatever you like with this, it is for demonstration purposes only, and used for a very specific scene.
The purpose of this pack is to share the method, and help others, but please see notes below, and comments from Mojang on copyright, ownership, etc...
Notes / What This Pack Is Not
This does not replace Minecraft music.
This does not replace Music Discs as seen in other videos (we are working on a separate pack for this).
This is for tutorial and instruction purposes only, and is very basic for that reason.
At the time of writing the main "The Dark Is A Cold Lonely Shadow" & "The Arena" music and custom sound resource packs you see in other videos, is not yet finished or ready for release. We are working on the music and sounds, and awaiting approvals and final works from other artists.
This is not the Data Pack seen in other videos. The data pack which stores all tracks in a database, and allows individual players to set/change/mute music, change tracks, set playlists, and the housing "Juke Box" (which does not use the Minecraft Juke Box) control system etc, is not ready for release.
This does not include "The Conduit" textures and animations various people have been asking for...which may or may not be used as the final mechanism for controlling the Juke Box.
Minecraft Custom Sounds & Music - Instructions
Example of how to install and command usage can be found below, on Github, and in the example YouTube video:
I deliberately do not use "music" and instead use "ambient" to save clashes with Minecraft music, which I mute. You must have "ambient" sound volume unmuted for the below to work.
If you use "music" and play a music track, the Minecraft music will play over the top, and it doesn't sound good!
PLEASE NOTE COMMENTS ON OWNERSHIP AND COMMENTS FROM MOJANG (QUOTED BELOW). RESPECT COPYRIGHT, AND THE ARTIST. ONLY USE SOUNDS WITH PERMISSION FROM THE CREATOR. YOU MAY USE THE SOUNDS AND MUSIC IN THIS PACK AS LONG AS THE ARTIST (MxSxC1) IS CONTACTED AND CREDITED.
Steps To Install & Update
Drop the folder "mxsxc1_music2" in your resourcepack folder. For example:
C:\Users[UserName]\AppData\Roaming.minecraft\resourcepacks\mxsxc1_music2\
The two commands below will work with this pack
/playsound minecraft:mxsxc1_sleet ambient @a ~ ~ ~ 100 1
/playsound minecraft:mxsxc1_whisper ambient @a ~ ~ ~ 100 1
Syntax Explanation
@a [Will play to all players]
~ ~ ~ [Will play on the player location]
100 [Volume but also distance, the sound will decrease in volume the further the player moves away at lower levels]
1 [Pitch, please see the youtube video linked above for examples of how this can be used, better used with soundfx]
To stop all sounds: /stopsound @a
Using your own sounds (please note copright comments above and below)
Put your own files in the corresponding folders (or create your own folders).
They MUST be in .ogg format.
Amend the sound.json to match your file.
Example Command Below:
/playsound minecraft:mxsxc1_sleet ambient @a ~ ~ ~ 100 1
Refers to the following within sounds.json:
"mxsxc1_sleet": {"sounds": [{"name": "custom/mxsxc1_sleet","stream": "true"}]},
which refers to file:
.minecraft\resourcepacks\mxsxc1_music2\assets\minecraft\sounds\custom\mxsxc1_sleet.ogg

We do not create mods, we create packs and data packs within Mojang framework, which will work on Realms.
Never install any packs or mods, or anything without fully understanding what it does, and ensuring it's legitimate and safe! If anything requires elevation (which ours do not), think twice and verify!
