Locating the files and Decompressing Them:

• Look for the Downloaded file (CustomMusicDisc.mcpack). Usually it is located in Downloads folder for all devices. 
• Now that you found the pack rename it and change the extension (from .mcpack) of file to .zip and decompress it.

• After decompressing you will have a main folder named CustomMusicDisc with many other folders inside, we only have to work with the /rrecords folder (Unless you also want the optional features).

 

Adding the Custom Music: 

• Get yourself a Custom music that is a .ogg audio type file don't worry if you have any normal audio extension just try online tools that convert .mp3 to .ogg or any audio type to .ogg then download the converted .ogg
• Now that you have a correct audio type rename it to the disc that you want to replace with.

• Delete the vanilla version of record from pack.

• Copy and paste it inside Custom_Music_Disc/rrecords/your.ogg.

• Double check your renamed audio file with the Renaming Table.

Note: 

• If you only want a Particular disc to have Custom Music and others to have Default Minecraft Music then After pasting the required music file with correct name delete other music files.
• Remember The long Music Only supports on development_resource_pack for on device worlds Check Installation Process to make sure How to install.

 

Change Disc Texture - Optional

• Get yourself a disc texture you want .
• Rename it with one of the Minecraft disc as the name is suggested in the Renaming Table.

• Delete The Default Minecraft version Texture.

• Copy and paste the texture into the /disc_texture folder.

 

Rename Disc Name - Optional

• Check which language your game uses from the game settings.

• Open the /texts folder and open the .lang file with your text editor or notepad if you are on windows.

• Change name of the disc that you want a custom name for.

• To change simply remove anything thats after the = sign for your disc then delete the usual name and retype the name you want.

Note: make sure to leave no spaces after the = or before the name, make sure you didn't change anything except the name.

 

Advanced Settings In suonds/sound_definitions.json - Optional

• stream: true → streams the file from disk (use for long tracks). Prevents memory-based cutoff.
• load_on_low_memory: true → forces load on low-memory devices.

Tips & recommended audio export settings

• Use OGG format. Audacity: File → Export → Export as OGG.
• Recommended: 44100 Hz, bitrate ~128–192 kbps. Stereo is fine it doesn't affect.
• If a track cuts or stutters: re-encode with lower bitrate or shorter length for testing.
• Keep file size reasonable for mobile (very large files may load slowly or strain low-end devices).
  
  

Texture tips

• Use power-of-two image sizes (16, 32, 64, 128...).
• Item icons: 16×16 or 32×32 look best; keep the design centered and clear at small size.
• Name PNG files exactly as given in the Renaming Table.
  
  

Troubleshooting checklist

If something doesn’t work:

• File names mismatch — check for typos and case. Everything is case-sensitive.
• Crashes on mobile: audio files too large / high bitrate; try lower bitrate or shorter length.
• Wrong folder —Follow the exact path as described in the Detailed Explanation.
• Wrong format — audio must be .ogg; textures must be .png.
• Language edits not showing — make sure you edited the correct language file (en_US.lang vs en_GB.lang), then reload the resource pack.
