Hi,

I'm quite new to modding and I'm trying to use event.setResultSound to play some custom music under certain conditions in place of music.game. All the examples I've seen of this being used involve a variable or something called ISound. I'm not sure what it is and my ide doesn't recognize it as being a part of forge or minecraft. How do I use this method? Is it even appropriate for what i wish to do? Like i said before, I'm very new to modding and an explanation would be super helpful for my learning process.

you need to subscribe to a SoundEvent

	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void whenGameMusicPlays(final PlaySoundEvent event) {
		if (event.getName().equals("music.game")) {
			event.setResultSound(null);
		}

this is the code that i have so far. I'm essentially looking for what i need to put in the field that currently says null. Can I put the sound event i made in there?

a SoundInstance

Is it ok if i ask what that is?

a SoundInstance (in 1.16.5 the class is called ISound) tells minecraft how to play the Sound, it contains the position, the delay, the volume, ...
you can look at the vanilla implementations of the interface for examples/ possible values you could use

Ok, so, that's really helpful. I guess i need to learn how to make a custom sound instance for my sound.

Alright, I did what i wanted to do with my code, thank you so much for you patience with helping me. i just thought i'd post the code i wrote in case other people go looking for the same answers i was

		if (event.getName().equals("music.game")) { 
			ResourceLocation loc = new ResourceLocation(CaveMusic.MODID + ":" + "music.overworld.underground");
			SimpleSoundInstance MyPSR = new SimpleSoundInstance(
				loc, SoundSource.MUSIC, 1.0f, 1.0f, false, 0, SoundInstance.Attenuation.NONE, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, true); 
			event.setResultSound(MyPSR);
			
		}
