Cracker's Wither Storm - Music
With Cracker's Wither Storm - Music, players can assign their own soundtrack to the Wither Storm, with the song changing as the storm's phases progress.
What it does
The client-side addon for Cracker's Wither Storm lets a player set custom music for the Wither Storm by entering a URL. Audio is converted during playback, and the mod keeps the original audio quality where it can. Music fades out when a player leaves the storm's range, saves its timestamp, and resumes at that point on re-entry, while distance-based triggers add ambiance as the storm gets closer.
Playback is controlled through a configuration built on Cloth Config, which the mod bundles, and a setup wizard walks through the initial options. Options cover volume, distance, toggled events and the fade range. An overlay shows the current song title and progress, with scrolling text for long titles. Changes to a URL need a full game restart, and the storm's proximity determines when tracks are fetched.
The mod requires Cracker's Wither Storm, and needs FFmpeg to convert audio. FFmpeg is bundled with the mod and its bin folder is placed in the minecraft/witherstormmusic/bin folder. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 0.2-alpha as the latest build, released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The project is in early development, and the author expects many changes.
