The last 4 Minecraft updates have added new music, getting increasingly biome-dependent. This conflicts with one of the special things of Minecraft music; that the music would play randomly with a few exceptions. Many packs have fixed this by removing the new music, but I think that is no good since the new music is great!

My solution here is to reorganize the music into larger, mutually-exclusive pools. This keeps nostalgia in most areas without removing any songs and being more random than 1.20. Is it purely random like in beta? No. I still think it's a better compromise, though.

Here is a brief summary of the changes:

  • Normal Overworld music (music.game) is only songs by C418. If they were in the overworld before Caves & Cliffs, they're here and nowhere else. That means calm, hal, nuance, and piano.
    • All cave biomes are currently overworld music as caves were definitely a core part of Minecraft's progression back in the day.
    • Forest-ish and desert-ish biome cues added in 1.19 and 1.20 have their pools refer to music.game as well.
  • Mountain biomes (all 7, base and peak) are most of the new songs from 1.18 (except Infinite Amethyst and Wending) as well as Aerie, A Familiar Room, and Bromeliad. The mountains got a big overhaul which gives them a new lofty feeling, matching all of this new music.
  • Underwater music is still C418's Update Aquatic music from 1.13 and now also includes Firebugs and Echo in the Wind.
  • In the nether is Ancestry, along with all of the original nether songs and 1.16 songs. All 1.16 songs will play in all the biomes, instead of being biome-specific. However, the warped forest is still exempt.
  • I did not touch end, boss, and credits themes.
  • The menu will no longer use songs from the latest update just because they're from the latest update, and menu songs will not be used during gameplay. Along with the original menu music, there is Infinite Amethyst, Wending, and Crescent Dunes; which I think sound good as menu music.
  • Creative music now has a much higher chance of playing creative songs. To the list of "creative songs" with higher chances of playing we have Labyrinthine as well. The rest of the music comes from the overworld and mountains.
Warped Forest (Experimental)

Warped forest is an exception to separation. If you listen closely, you can hear very faintly the menu music playing out of tune, or more rarely, a music disc. The idea is that it's a faint echo or some memory of hearing those songs. It should be quiet and unintrusive so you barely hear it. This is still experimental (although I will listen to feedback on anything), so I'd love to hear a comment on the "issues page" (PMC) for how the volume and pitch works out! =]

That's all. Enjoy! I hope you give this pack a try. =] I think Lena's music is good, although it's sometimes more Lena than people want. That's why she gets the beautiful mountains as the location of her banishment!

Do not reupload in any capacity.

This pack DOESN'T change the actual music! Don't be confused! ^-^
