Background Music (BGM)

Background music config lives in the music section of sounds.yaml. It was moved here from config.yaml in v2.1.0. The old music block in config.yaml is no longer read, so if your music wasn’t playing after upgrading, move it here.

# sounds.yaml
music:
  enabled: true
  # Played during the team-selection screen
  teamSelectionMusic:
    - { music: "minecraft:music.overworld.cherry_grove", volume: 0.6, pitch: 1.0 }
  # Played during the battle itself (picked by average-Elo band)
  battleMusic:
    - minElo: 0
      maxElo: 1500
      musicList:
        - { music: "minecraft:music.overworld.forest", volume: 0.6, pitch: 1.0 }
    - minElo: 1500
      maxElo: 9999
      musicList:
        - { music: "minecraft:music.overworld.jungle", volume: 0.7, pitch: 1.0 }

Setting	Description
`enabled`	Master switch for background music
`teamSelectionMusic`	List of tracks; one is picked at random when the team-selection screen opens
`battleMusic`	Elo-banded lists; the band matching the match’s average Elo is used, then a track is picked at random

Music starts at the team-selection screen and continues through lead selection (so it doesn’t cut out). In full-party formats where team selection is skipped (e.g. Random Battle), music starts at the lead-selection screen instead. Battle music overrides Cobblemon’s default battle music once the battle begins.

To disable a specific sound, set volume: 0:

battle:
  start: { sound: "minecraft:entity.ender_dragon.growl", volume: 0, pitch: 1.0 }

Or disable all sounds globally:

enabled: false
