This used to work for me a few versions back (don’t remember the specific one). I used to have custom background music and it worked fine until it just didn’t one day. I have recently tried putting custom music in again by changing both the creative background music and jukebox music disc songs. When I load into my world with the resource packs on, no music plays whether I have custom background music or jukebox music. I was starting to wonder if I had something wrong when setting up the files but it turned out that was not the issue. I have all the custom songs as OGG files. I recently had the creator of the addon packs I’m using try using my custom jukebox music and it worked fine for them. I’ve tried many things including uninstalling the game and reinstalling it but had no luck with that. It’s also not an issue with the lengths of the custom music I have (otherwise the person I had test it out for me would’ve had issues too). I’ve narrowed the issue down to a glitch within the game because I’ve don’t everything right when it comes to file set up and music conversion to OGG.

Addon Packs I Used -

Custom Background Music Addon: https://mcpedl.com/bettermusic-pack-1/

Custom Jukebox Music Addon: https://mcpedl.com/betterjukebox/

I Use FTPManager to get Addons on Xbox and I use an app called Documents on my iPhone to put custom music in the addon packs listed above.

Steps of folder set up for the custom background music pack:
• Create “sounds” folder after opening the “BetterMusic1.3.2” pack.
• Create a new folder titled “music” inside the “sounds” folder.
• Create a new folder titled “game” inside the “music” folder.
• Create a new folder titled “creative” inside “game” folder.
• Inside “creative,” you put your own custom music into that folder but make sure the music file is converted to a “.OGG” file.
• After previous step, you make the entire addon pack a “.zip” or “.mcpack” file and put it into Minecraft.

Steps of folder set up for the custom jukebox music pack:
• Create “sounds” folder after opening the “BetterJukebox1.0.6” pack.
• Create a new folder titled “music” inside the “sounds” folder.
• Create a new folder titled “game” inside the “music” folder.
• Create a new folder titled “records” inside “game” folder.
• Inside “records,” you put your own custom music into that folder but make sure the music file is converted to a “.OGG” file. (Up to 15 custom songs).
• After previous step, you make the entire addon pack a “.zip” or “.mcpack” file and put it into Minecraft.

Once you’ve put either one of those packs into Minecraft, create a new world or go onto an existing one, select which custom music pack you’d like to use (custom background music or custom jukebox music) and there should be a gear or cog on either of those packs. There are settings you can chose from either for the default music or the custom music. For me, I am doing custom. (For custom background music, I chose the “Custom Music (1-100)” setting. For custom jukebox music, I chose the “Jukebox Radius: 1024 (Custom Music)” setting.)

Once I load into my worlds with either of these packs on (I only choose one pack at a time), the custom music never plays. For the creative background music, it is just silent the entire time. For the jukebox music, when I put in a music disc, nothing plays and it is just silent. Like I said before, this worked completely fine for the creator of both these addons who tried the same exact songs as me and they also confirmed my file set up was correct.

This has to mean there is something wrong with my game that is causing custom music from these packs not to play. I’ve messed around with settings to see if anything would fix this issue but nothing helped.

Expectations: Using custom music resource packs will change in game music. Depending on the pack, either the creative mode background music or Jukebox music disc songs will change.

Result: When loaded into a world with either of these custom music resource packs on, no custom music will play despite correct file set up.
