The last 5 Minecraft updates have added new music, getting increasingly biome-dependent. This clashes with one of the special things of Minecraft music; that music plays randomly, with 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!<\/p>\n
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 1.21. Is it purely random like in beta? No. I still think it’s a better compromise, though.<\/p>\n
Here is a summary of the changes: – An Ordinary Day (Tanioka) – **Underwater music is still C418’s Update Aquatic soundtrack** from 1.13 with a few additions I found fitting to flesh it out.<\/p>\n – Dragon Fish (C418) – **All nether songs play in all the biomes**, instead of being biome-specific (barring the warped forest). I’ve also moved Deeper by Lena Raine to the nether. – Biome Fest (C418) – **The menu no longer uses songs for their novelty, instead having a permanent selection**. As with the rest of the pack, separation means they don’t play in the mountains.<\/p>\n – Mutation (C418) – The warped forest is quiet.<\/p>\n Warped forest is an exception to separation. If you listen closely, you can hear very faintly the menu music playing out of tune. 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.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Always feel free to report issues or give feedback in the comments of the PMC upload! (It is linked with the issues.)<\/p>\n That’s all. Enjoy! I hope you give this pack a try. =] I think the new composers’ music is good, although it’s sometimes more themy than people want. That’s why they gets the beautiful mountains as the location of their banishment!<\/p>\n *Do not reupload in any capacity.*<\/p>\n **This pack DOESN’T change the actual music! Don’t be confused!** ^-^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Music is random, as it should be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":110345,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"new-music","_minecraft_project_id":"1YcGoGPE","_minecraft_author":"blank3times","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":5903,"_minecraft_follows":21,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"new-music.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":389787,"_minecraft_version_count":5,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T09:48:44.717212Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2023-12-26T22:24:07.377876Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-06-18T22:58:06.940501Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/new-music","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":110345,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-06T11:42:44+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"8e92202f00015ff33cf5fdae42fb9894","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[39,6,61,109,7,8],"mod_loader":[9],"minecraft_version":[54,55,56,57,58,59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,37,73,74,38,78,79],"class_list":["post-110344","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-audio","mod_category-minecraft","mod_category-simplistic","mod_category-themed","mod_category-tweaks","mod_category-vanilla-like","mod_loader-minecraft","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-19-1","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-19-3","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6"],"yoast_head":"\n
\n– **Normal Overworld music (music.game) only plays 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.
\n – This includes other biomes separated out, such as the forest or the taiga.
\n– **Mountain biomes (all 7, base and peak) are most of the new songs** from 1.18 and many later ones. The mountains got a big overhaul which gives them a new lofty feeling, matching all of this new music.<\/p>\nAlternate Game (Mountain) Tracklist<\/summary>\n
