🎵 Music Player Mod

Music Player is a mod that lets you freely set and switch background music (BGM) based on in-game conditions.
Customize your soundtrack to match the world’s atmosphere — whether it's day or night, peaceful or in battle!

📦 How to Use

Inside your .minecraft folder, navigate to soundpacks.
Set up your custom soundpack like this:

soundpacks/pack_name/assets/pack_id/conditions/predicate.json
soundpacks/pack_name/assets/pack_id/music/name.ogg

Example SoundPack

Example SoundPack is here

Soundpack cannot be recognized in zip file format

This will be fixed in the future.

Apply a resource pack with the same name as your pack_id to activate the BGM.
