Minecraft OST in mono

Hello! I'm in a bit of a slippery area in modding and I'm asking here because I don't know where else to turn about this.
I'm working on a mod that only slightly modifies certain aspects of the game (BetterVanilla) and I decided I wanted to have the background music as discs scattered in the world.
The problem seems to be that music disc sound has to be in mono for the attenuation distance of jukeboxes to work so I decided to take the hashed file from the objects folder and converted it to mono through audacity.
I might have misunderstood this so if I have I'd be delighted to be corrected.

I feel like I'm not legally allowed to do so and won't be posting this version of the mod unless i know I'm in the legal "green zone".
Does anyone have any ideas of how I could get around this issue some other way? I have looked at how to do it with straight java but it seems needlessly complicated along with how Minecraft handles SoundEvents.
Any thoughts are helpful. Thanks in advance!

 

PS: if you are wondering why this is in general, I'm mostly wondering about the legality of my actions as a modder

No, you are not legally allowed to redistribute Mojang's copywritten work, including the sounds even if you re-render them in a different format.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

Maybe you can convert the music files on the first startup using something like ffmpeg.  
But that may make the installation process of your mod more complicated since users would also have to download ffmpeg and store it somewhere.  
But I bet there are pleny other alternative libraries (that do not have any outside dependencies) that can convert ogg to mp3 and vice versa and / or apply effects to mp3 / ogg / other formats.    

Looking into the license of ffmpeg could definitely help...

I'm sort of against the idea of having to ask the player to install programs outside of forge and minecraft. there definitely is a way to do the conversion using java libraries as internal dependencies and thats not necessarily the problem if its simple enough. I'll look into the ffmpeg license, good idea. 

any problems i have from now on is probably going to be code related and as such this thread is not going to be the best place to put those problems.

I think i'll figure it out now that i know i have to work around it.

      pack.mcmeta and resource pack not recognized

      By Redstone Dreamer · Posted

      Update: I stand corrected as I was able to dig up a relevant log from my earlier testing which highlights the overall issue but does not explain how to solve it. See, Diagnostic Logs for pack.mcmeta not found: https://pastebin.com/LXS8Rtna

      Which mod was this? What are all the mods that were in use? It will help if enough information to replicate the problem is available.

      pack.mcmeta and resource pack not recognized

      By Redstone Dreamer · Posted

      I have been attempting to create a supplementary resource pack with Patchouli in order to add back the guidebook for Better End but unfortunately in every prototype I have made pack.mcmeta and my resource pack are not recognized. I have tested both zipped and unzipped and either way curseforge does not recognize my resource pack as existing. For testing I stripped my pack down to just the pack.mcmeta file and two empty folders labelled data and assets and I know the data folder is not the problem as firstly my first attempts just had an assets folder following Patchouli instructions and data came later in my flailing attempts to make anything in my pack work. The mcmeta file is not recognized whether or not I use this:  { "pack": { "pack_format": 15, "description": "A replacement for the BetterEnd Guide Book." } "language": { "en_US": { "name": "English", "region": "United States" } } } ,or this:  { "pack": { "pack_format": 15, "description": "A replacement for the BetterEnd Guide Book." } } I have made sure to only use lowercase and the pack folder is named better-end-guide. Is this some magic nonsense from me doing this manually instead of using an IDE or similar tool? Could it be because my files are by default in UTF-8 even though ANSI gives the same results? Is there a specific community secret tool I am supposed to use for zipping or specific settings? I am pulling my hair in distress. Unfortunately as there are no errors involved I lack logs to offer, if that disqualifies this thread please do not be harsh and instead if you can then please direct me to a forum with different rules and sufficiently respectful but knowledgeable as to be of assistance. Most of my experience with the programming community has been poor and so naturally I find myself wary.
