📋 About This Mod
Changes in 1. 1:
- Supports .wav files
- if you change "convert:" in the config file to true (by default it is false) CM will convert all .ogg files to .wav. This will take up additional diskspace and make the first loading slightly longer, but after the conversion, the loading times will be drasticly reduced.
(the config.json files gets created on first launch)
To create a ContentPack for CM, write a standard manifest.json and add a content.json file.
You can download a simple template under Optional Files.
manifest.json example:
"Name": "Custom Music Template",
"Author": "Platonymous",
"Version": "1. 0. 0",
"Description": "Template for Custom Music",
"UniqueID": "Platonymous. CustomMusic. Template",
"ContentPackFor": {
"UniqueID": "Platonymous. CustomMusic",
"MinimumVersion": "1. 0. 0"
content.json example:
"Music" : [
"Id": "MainTheme",
"File": "theme.ogg",
"Loop": true,
"Ambient": false
"Id": "spring_day_ambient",
"File": "ambience.ogg",
"Loop": true,
"Ambient": true
"Id": "title_night",
"File": "select.ogg",
"Loop": true,
"Ambient": false
