Ever thought music could be a bit more situational? Or better yet, ever wanted to hear your favorite music in the game? This mod does that! Sort of! Mindthemood’s Inspiration Vibes adds a more complex system of Music cues, and the ability to add your own music to the game. (Assuming you’ve got a basic knowledge of how MCreator works.) It mostly exists because I wanted to add my own music to the game, and figured other people might want to do the same. Because I can't, (or at least probably shouldn't) just buy music and distribute it for free in the form of a mod, I've instead made a template mod that only includes existing tracks, which you can then add your own music to.

More recently, I've been working with Oh Eight, a composer whose music is now featured in the mod! You can check out more of their music on Youtube, or Apple Music! Fourteen new tracks have been added in total, adding more variety and distinction to different biomes and locations.

This Mod provides the Following: (As of Version 6)

Custom ambient, situationally aware noise system for Overworld biomes. (Mostly just consists of various wind noises, birdsong in jungles, weird noises in dark forests, etc.)
Custom music snippets for player-death, including some excerpts from unused Minecraft tracks, and samples from Hyperlight Drifter, which surprisingly enough sounds pretty good in a very different game.
Custom music for bossfights; with modulated, randomly generated progression. This includes three unique musical themes for the dragon fight, (remixed with the Gigyas theme, which turned out to be another surprisingly good fit), and two unique musical themes for the wither fight, (a remixed version of 'Kermetic,' from Minecraft Dungeons.)
Ability to change music volume, and frequency of music, using in-game commands, as well as ambience frequency and volume.
The entire original Minecraft soundtrack, including some unused tracks. Music has been made more situational; some tracks will only play in certain weather, others in certain biomes, some at certain times of day, some in certain structures, and a couple exclusively during the full moon. ('Cause why not?) If you want to add your own tracks, you too can take advantage of the provided cues.
And 14 New Tracks composed by the amazing Oh Eight!

This Mod lets you Add the Following: (Using the provided Mcreator Workspace)

Any custom music you have in file form, which can be set to play in a wide variety of different scenarios.
Different likelihoods of your custom music playing in different circumstances. (Including inside different structures, different biomes, different weather, different times of day, etc.)
You'll need to use the Mcreator Workspace Template, which I've linked here. (And, uh, learn how to use Mcreator, which I highly recommend anyways.) Instructions are detailed further in the 'Technical' section.

As of Writing, probably won't be updating this mod in the near future. (Bigger and better projects, so on and so forth. Also the old workspace was corrupted.) Apologies for any inconvenience.

TECHNICAL

This mod was made using Mcreator, a free modding platform for Minecraft that uses a coding system similar to Scratch to make modding easier for non-coders. If you want to add your own music, you’ll first want to download the latest version of Mcreator.

Next, you’ll need to actually get some music files. If you genuinely like the music, please buy it legitimately! Artists gotta make a living too, you know.
Ideally, download your music as .ogg files. If you can only get MP3 files, you can use something like Audacity, (a free sound editing program), to convert your songs into the proper format.
Once you’ve got the Mcreator downloaded, put the ‘Mindthemood’s Workspace’ file in your Mcreator Workspaces folder. (You can find it at C:\Users\(your user ID)\MCreatorWorkspaces).
You should now be able to open the mod in Mcreator! Open Mcreator, then open the workspace file you downloaded. Once it's loaded, navigate to the ‘resources’ tab, and from there to the ‘sounds’ tab. Import all of your music files here.
Learn how block coding works. (Optional)
Ignore the folder labeled ‘Technical Stuff,’ unless you really feel confident with your knowledge of how MCreator's code works.
Going back to the main workspace, you should see a bunch of procedures labeled ‘Day Music,’ ‘Lush Music,’ etc. These are all the different sound cues, and by opening these procedures, you can determine which songs play in which circumstances. Just change the sound-blocks to the sound files you imported earlier, and change the ‘delay’ to the duration of the song in ticks. (The length of the song in seconds, multiplied by twenty). As long as the delay is longer than the song, you shouldn’t have to worry about songs playing on top of each other.
If you want to test to make sure something is working, just set all of the sound blocks for a cue to your desired song, get in the correct circumstances for the song to play, and use the ‘playsong’ command to force a cue.
When you’re satisfied, export the mod. You should download a .Jar file with your custom music, which will function like any other mod. (Though to be clear, you should not distribute it with others unless you have rights to the music you’ve used.)

You can use a couple new commands to affect how music plays. Namely, the following:

The ‘playsong’ command triggers a music cue, immediately playing a song appropriate for the situation. It does this even if a song is already playing, so, uh, use sparingly.
The ‘musicvolume’ command lets players individually alter the volume of music. Enter a number from 0-1 to decrease or increase music volume. (This is set to 0.3 by default.)
The ‘musicfrequency’ command lets you alter how frequently music plays. Enter a number from 0-0.6 to decrease or increase music frequency. (This is set to 0.6 by default, meaning that at morning, noon, twilight, and midnight, a music cue has a 60% chance of occurring.)
The 'resetvibes' command immediately stops all music and resets the delay timer between tracks.
Finally, the ‘ambiencevolume’ and ‘ambiencefrequency’ commands do the same thing as the first two, but for ambient noise. Ambiencebvolume is set to 0.2 by default, and ambiencefrequency is set to 10 by default.
If you want to play a specific song, just use the ‘playsound’ command and whatever the name of the song is.

TRACKLIST

Provided is the default tracklist, (The one that is built into the mod), and the recommended tracklist, (Additional music that I cannot provide for copyright reasons, but that I highly recommend if you’re willing to give a couple bucks to some fantastic artists in exchange for some .ogg files.) Also note that because most of Minecraft’s music is non-situational, many of the more specific scenarios do not include unique music. (At least not by default.)

Situations are listed in order of priority: Essentially, the game checks for higher priority situations first, and only moves on if that situation’s conditions are not met.

Dragon Music

Plays while fighting the dragon. (Or rather, while within 1000 blocks of the End Dragon.)
‘Boss’ by C418, remixed by yours truly to consist of three separate, randomly modulated stages. The first plays when the dragon is at full health, the second when the dragon is injured, and the third when the dragon is below half health.
Remixed with distorted snippets of other tracks from the game, along with clips of the Giygas Theme from Earthbound, purely because they go surprisingly well together.

Wither Music

Plays when fighting the Wither. (Or rather, while within 300 blocks of a Wither.)

‘Kermetic’ by Euginosis, from the Minecraft Dungeons OST, remixed by yours truly to consist of two separate, randomly modulated stages. The first plays when the Wither is above half health, and the second when it is below half health. (And enters melee mode.)

Remixed with garbled whispering and distorted screams/wither noises, because Minecraft clearly isn’t pushing the 10+ age rating far enough already. (Looking at you, Warden.)

Victory Music

Plays after the dragon has been defeated; only plays once per player. (Subsequently respawning the dragon does not retrigger this track upon victory.

‘Alpha,’ by C418. Lovely track, by the way.
