Dynamic Music Updated
by celeri
With Dynamic Music Updated, background tracks change as a player moves between caves, hot and cold biomes, and day and night.
What it does
The mod selects music by context. Tracks shift when the player is underground, in a hot or cold biome, or during night and rain. An optional setting slows the music as midnight approaches, and the effect starts earlier in the day when the player is near a mineshaft. The release adds new tracks from the 1.17 and 1.19 updates, plus End dimension music written by LudoCrypt.
The mod is a fork of LudoCrypt's Dynamic Music, and it runs on Fabric and Forge through Architectury. Architectury API, Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required dependencies. On Fabric, a separate mod menu integration is needed to open the config screen. Only the client needs the mod, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source. Builds cover 1.17.1 – 1.20.1, with v2.3.2+1.20 as the latest file for 1.20.1.
