# IMPORTANT<\/p>\n
This mod is a LIBRARY mod.
\nIt will do nothing on its own and its only purpose is to act as a dependency for other mods that use its features.<\/p>\n
# About<\/p>\n
Melody is an OpenAL-based client-side library mod for playing background music.
\nIt allows you to use OpenAL in Minecraft separated from Minecraft’s sound engine and manager.<\/p>\n
Melody allows you to (asynchronously) load audio files from all kinds of sources, including web sources.<\/p>\n
It has built-in support for OGG and WAV audio files, but there’s nothing stopping you from extending it to support more file types!<\/p>\n
Since Melody was made for easily playing _music_ in menus or in-world, it can’t play directional sounds (sounds with a fixed origin in a 3D environment). It can only play 2D audio, so basically music.<\/p>\n
To get an idea of how to create ready-to-play audio sources, take a look at Melody’s `SimpleAudioFactory` class!<\/p>\n
Everything important is documented in the source, so make sure to take a look at Melody’s source on GitHub!<\/p>\n
