FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.16.5 – 1.21.7

What it does

When a player engages the Wither or the Ender Dragon, the boss theme plays for the fight. The mod is distributed as a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod, and as a data pack for servers. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 1.21.7, with 1.2.1 for 1.21.7 as the latest file, published 2024-11-01 after a first release on 2024-02-17. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

The server needs the mod, while players may add it on their clients. Dynamic Surroundings can start music at spawn; the author describes a configuration change that keeps that mod installed while avoiding the conflict.

What the author says

You probably had Dynamic Surroundings installed. Don't worry, it isn't a total necessity to outright prune the mod off your modlist. Instead, you may follow these steps to resolve the issue while still keeping Dynamic Surroundings around - fingers crossed! I have also acquired explicit permission from the authors…
