Music for bosses

When fighting bosses such as the Wither or the EnderDragon there should be some action type music playing in the background, something intense that makes the fight seem more alive!

    If we had a new boss for the nether the music should be pigstep orchestral cover by T.L.B orchestration just saying it would be cool to have boss battle themes.

    The ender dragon already has a theme and even tho it isn't "epic" or "action type", it exists. Tbh it even fits Minecraft's calm nature and I doubt it will ever be changed.

    It would be cool if there was a chance of getting a music disc of the boss theme when you kill the boss.

    I agree it would make the bosses way cooler and more worth your while

    I support this as a general idea, but realistically this is going to be difficult to implement. Minecraft music needs to be somewhat open-ended, with a focus on ambiance rather than spectacle. Composing with these constraints, for a boss fight... It's a razor thin balance you're asking for. I hope a composer in the right place can make it happen, but this truly is a big ask.

    This would be amazing. For the Ender Dragon theme especially, there is a lot they could do with adding clips of Overworld songs to add a sense of finality and just general...epicness. There's a lot of potential for the track names as well. Here's a few I came up with:

    Ender Dragon - "The Ender"

    Wither - "Falling Stars"

    Elder Guardian(?) - "Hydraulics"

    Warden (even though it's not really a boss mob at all, it would still be cool to see some music for it) - "Awakened"

    I would love to see boss music in the game!

    i always thought moog city (1) or maybe a new track that combines many of the motiefs from other songs would be nice for this

    I can’t see this being very hard to implement. Would be great if this also applied to raids. For non-boss mobs like the warden and elder guardian there should just be ambient music to fit the biome these mobs live in, but for warden it could potentially change to something more intense if the game realizes that you triggered a warden, and even more so if you activated its “rage”
