C418 Music Restored
by Piber
C418 Music Restored brings back music tracks from the game's early development and adds music discs that drop from specific sources, found in Forge and NeoForge worlds.
What it does
The mod adds tracks that C418 made for Minecraft but that never made it into the released game, including the Volume Alpha and Volume Beta soundtracks. Where a track fits a biome or place, it is put there, and a list of the added tracks and where they can be heard is kept by the author. Some tracks are attached to music discs, and the mod also adds a Main Menu track and a Nether track that covers everything except Basalt Deltas.
The discs are obtained in unusual ways: one drops rarely from a chicken killed by an arrow, one is found by repairing Music Disc 11, and others come from loot in End Cities, Buried Treasure, Dungeons, Woodland Mansions and Ancient Cities through a charged creeper. The mod also completes the advancements for finding a disc and for playing a jukebox. Snowy mountainous biomes and cherry and bamboo biomes receive music as well.
The mod is built for both sides of a connection, so it runs on client and server together and both need it. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge, for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge and 1.21.1 on NeoForge, and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is open source. The source code and issue tracker are public.

What the author says
This mod adds C418's music from the Volume Alpha and Beta soundtracks that weren't already in the game. There were some mods that did some of this already but I wanted to add them in places that fit, not all exclusively as music discs, and I wanted any new music discs I did have to feel like they fit in the game.
