Music Regions

Create immersive, dynamic soundscapes for your Minecraft world with custom region-based music. Music Regions allows you to assign unique music tracks to areas of your world, creating everything from peaceful villages and dangerous battlefields to cinematic events and festivals.

Whether you are building an RPG adventure map, a survival world with custom atmospheres, or a large roleplay server, Music Regions gives every location its own soundtrack.

Features

🎵 Custom Music Library

Add your own music without editing sounds.json.

Simply place your .ogg music files into:

.minecraft/config/musicregions/music

Then run:

/music reload

Your new tracks will automatically be detected and become available in the Music Manager.

Supported music can be:

• Custom compositions
• Ambient tracks
• Battle themes
• Adventure music
• Event soundtracks

Existing sounds.json tracks are still supported.

Creating Music Regions

Create a Region

Open the Music Region editor with:

/music editor

Create a new region by entering:

/music create <region_name>

Example:

/music create roman_colosseum

Each region can have:

• A unique name
• Custom music tracks
• Priority settings
• Custom colors for visualization
• Unlimited painted chunks
• Assigning Music

Open the Music Manager:

/music manager

Select a region and add music tracks from your available music library.

Example tracks:

t4 battle_theme forest_ambient

A region can contain multiple songs, and Music Regions will randomly select tracks while inside the area.

Painting Regions

Regions are created by painting Minecraft chunks.

Use:

/music select (Region name)

to select the region you want to paint. Then

/music editor

to enter editing mode.

Paint chunks by left clicking your current chunk or unpaint with right click.

Features:

• Paint unlimited chunks
• Remove painted chunks
• Create large cities, kingdoms, dungeons, or continents
• Regions update dynamically while editing
• Music Transitions

Music Regions includes a smooth fading system.

When moving between areas:

• Current music fades out
• New regional music fades in
• Multiple tracks are prevented from overlapping

This creates seamless transitions between locations.

Regional Priority System

Regions can have priorities to control overlapping areas.

Higher priority regions override lower priority regions.

Useful for:

• Cities inside kingdoms
• Boss arenas inside dungeons
• Special event locations
• Important landmarks
• Chronicle: World Calendar Integration

Music Regions integrates with Chronicle: World Calendar to provide dynamic event soundtracks.

Calendar events can:

• Start custom event music
• Override regional music
• Play special playlists
• Restore regional music after the event ends

Examples:

• Colosseum tournaments
• Festivals
• Battles
• Seasonal events
• Story moments

Event music is controlled by Chronicle while Music Regions handles playback, fading, and priority management.
