The command console in Minecraft has a super-friendly feature. This is true even in playing music. The “/music” command can be used to operate as a music player in the game. It is important to note that commands only work with the Bedrock edition.

This is how you can utilize it:

• To play music: /music play <trackName> [volume] [fadeSeconds] [repeatMode]
• To queue music: /music queue <trackName> [volume] [fadeSeconds] [repeatMode]
• To stop music: /music stop [fadeSeconds]
• To change the volume of music: /music volume <volume>

Associated terms:

• trackName is the name of the track you want to play.
• volume is a value between 0 and 1 that will enable you to change the volume to play the music.
• fadeSeconds is a value between 0 and 10 that indicates the time taken to fade the music in or out.
• repeatMode denotes whether the music track is to be played on repeat.

What songs play in the background?

As you may have experienced, every single interaction with the game's environment has a particular music associated with it. Some tracks play randomly, while others are closely associated with a particular event.

The song Alpha plays during the end credits, and the music Boss plays when you enter the End, with the Ender Dragon still alive. In underwater oceans or rivers, randomized underwater tracks start playing. If you are in the Nether, a randomized general Nether track or Nether biome-based track starts playing (warped forests are an exception).

The main menu also features its music. A random menu track starts playing on the main menu if you use it for over 30 seconds. In Java edition, with the pause menu, game music also pauses and resumes when you exit it. In the Bedrock edition, the game continues to play the track since the world time does not pause in this version of the game.
