Please use the video tutorial above. The instructions below could get you very lost and it is much longer than the video. To download something you will find it in the Youtube video's description, not this one.
Hello everyone I am gealx3 and I am here to give you a tutorial on how to change the Minecraft background music. If you're wanting something more exciting to listen to when you are defending your house or fighting against somebody else on PVP, this is your tutorial! Be sure to pay closer attention to steps in bold. Lets get to it!
Creating the File
First, you want to make a new folder, name to anything you want. Its important that whenever you're naming something, do not capitalise name, also be sure to look at the photos to helps you along the way. Next, go inside that folder then make another one and name it "assets" Then, go inside the "assets" folder you made and make a new folder and name it "minecraft" Finally go inside the minecraft folder and make the last and final folder and name it "sounds"
When your done with this step you need to have a special kind of file for the resource pack to work. Download this file here: pack.mcmeta. After you have downloaded the file put it in the first folder you made. You don't have to do this next part but you can open the file and rename the text that is in there and be sure to save it. Then after that you need a picture. Make a picture at the size of 128x128 pixels, then save it as the name "pack" (.PNG extension). Here is how everything should look like so far!
Now first, you'll need to run Minecraft in 1.7.2 to have these next folders apear in the ".minecraft" file. When you have ran Minecraft in 1.7.2 do not run it in a different version untill you have gathered the folders that will be necessary (they will dissapear). Once, all this is done go to your start menu and search "%appdata%" then follow the path of folders, look in the image below as a guide.
So now, you want to copy the "music" folder and put it in the "sounds" folder you made earlier. Now you have all the music files!
Converting your Favorite Music
Now, all of Minecraft's sounds are a .ogg file and your songs are most likely a .mp3, grab one of your favortie songs and convert into a .ogg file. I found this nice free browser based website for converting files, just click "Browse" and open your song you want to have in the game and hit :Convert file": .ogg converter. If you are doing multiple songs than repeat the process.
Now go into the "music" folder and put the converted song in either the "game" folder or the "menu" folder. The "game" folder contains all the folders and files you see in the image below. The "menu" folder contains the title screen music. Next, rename the song into one of the Minecraft songs you would like to replace. If you would like it for one song to play for all the songs than you have to copy and paste and rename a whole lot of times into all the songs.
Creating the Resource Pack
When you have finished renaming you now have to go back into the first folder you created and select all the contents in there. Then, right click and find the option that says "Add to archive" (You will need to install Winrar to find this option, install it if you don't already have it). Next, click the "ZIP" option then click OK.
Now it should have created a zip file. The very last step, you need to put it in your resource packs folder like if you were using a texture pack, and now your done! Luanch Minecraft and put it on! The great thing about this is that you can still use your favorite texture packs while listening to your favorite music.
If you have any issues please leave it in the comments and I will be able to help you. If you send me of what you have I will try my best to fix it (Best option). ENJOY! :)
