[BTW Addon] Music Player
by BardRadogost
BTW Addon Music Player replaces the standard in-game soundtrack with custom tracks chosen by the context of play, such as dimension, biome, time and combat.
What it does
Custom Music Packs are assembled by players from their own .ogg tracks, paired with a songs.json file that maps each track to the conditions under which it should start. Conditions cover the Overworld, Nether and End, the time of day, the biome, and the weather, so a forest can play a different track from a desert or taiga. After a restart, packs load automatically according to the configuration file.
Combat music is handled separately. It starts only after the player attacks or is attacked, and it keeps playing while a threat stays nearby. Track changes fade out gently rather than cutting off abruptly, and an in-game menu lets players browse installed packs, check whether each file is present and valid, and switch between loading all packs or one chosen pack.
The mod is a client-side addon for Better Than Wolves: Community Edition, and it needs Better Than Wolves: CE to run. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker published. Files target Legacy Fabric for 1.6.4 only.
Key features

Combat music
Combat tracks begin only after a fight starts and continue while a threat remains close by.
Smooth transitions
Songs fade out when the context changes, avoiding abrupt cuts between tracks.
