KeepThatMusic - Updated
by Andriyko69
KeepThatMusic keeps background music playing when the game would normally cut it off, such as during world, server and dimension changes.
What it does
Minecraft stops the current track each time a world loads, a server is joined, or the game is paused and resumed. KeepThatMusic stops that interruption, so a track carries on through a Nether portal trip, a respawn, a reconnect to a singleplayer world, a pause, or a return to the title screen. Rather than cutting the track off, the mod lets it continue without a break.
The mod is a NeoForge port of Keep Music, which was created for Fabric by DarkAndBlue. The concept and original implementation belong to that author. Only the client needs it; a server does not have to run it.
Key features
Uninterrupted music
Background music is not stopped and restarted when Minecraft switches worlds or servers, so the track continues.
Dimension changes
Music carries on across dimension changes, such as passing through a Nether portal.
Respawn and reconnect
The track keeps playing after the player respawns or reconnects to a singleplayer world.
Pause and title screen
Pausing the game and returning to the title screen no longer cuts off the current track.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Event music
Background music set during an event keeps playing instead of being replaced by the game's default music changes.
Traveling between dimensions
A player moving through several portals keeps one continuous track across the trip.
Who it’s for: Players on NeoForge 1.21.1 who want background music to continue through loading screens, world changes and pauses. Server owners need not install it, because only the client needs the mod.
