Mod music issues with resource pack creation

[Ianoneshot]

Good morning, afternoon, or night,

I am currently trying to make a souls-like map in Minecraft in 1.16.5, and your Caves and Cliffs backport mod is absolutely essential (and also of great quality compared to the rest, might I add). However, we have a special soundtrack for this map, but it conflicts with this backport mod.

For example: We have a main menu theme in our resource pack with the custom music. However, sometimes the menu music of the mod overrides our resourcepack and plays its music instead.

For a solution, we tried entering the .java file itself and just pulling the music, but for some reason this causes the mod to delete itself when placed in a curseforge instance.

So I am wondering, is there a way to have a resource pack that replaces music files to be compatible with this mod? Thank you for your help, and have a great day.

Hello! i'm sorry that the mod is causing issues for you, that is a feature that has been bugging me for a while and i have an idea how to fix it from the jar.

however, i may have an alternative solution for you guys while i work on it:

1. unzip the jar file
2. go into resources > assets > minecraft
3. delete the sounds.json file
4. save as jar file

this way it will remove the vanilla sound override, which is the one preventing your sounds to play, however this will only work for your instance or if you share this jar file with your friends.

i've been recreating the mod from scratch so this issue should be fixed in next update for good
