DiscForge Runtime
by ls_wartaal
DiscForge Runtime supplies the shared in-game systems that DiscForge-generated album mods use to turn custom music into playable discs.
What it does
The runtime provides the Disc Forger machine, blank discs and styluses, and the album loading and forging systems that generated album mods rely on. Each individual album mod supplies its own album information, songs, artwork and custom discs, while the runtime handles the common parts. It is developed for the DiscForge ecosystem and is not meant to work as a standalone custom-music system.
Any DiscForge-generated album mod a player wants to use needs the runtime present, since those albums depend on it. The runtime is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Use cases
Creating custom discs in game

Who it’s for: Players who install DiscForge-generated album mods and want the in-game forging experience, and server owners who run those albums on a multiplayer server.
How it compares
Melodia Newcomer is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with the same client and server environment, released under All rights reserved. SoundPress is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that is client-side only and released under the MIT License, so players can use it without a server install. Music Discs Mod targets NeoForge for 1.21.4, a different version than this runtime.
