LaterDiscs
by raoulinathor
Older worlds gain music from later Minecraft releases, with crafting recipes and advancements for each new disc, through LaterDiscs.
What it does
Players who want more music in a survival world can craft the discs added by later Minecraft releases. A stonecutter recipe turns a Blank Music Disc into a disc, and the same blank can be cut into vanilla discs as well, so crafting a favorite track is a short step. The advancements that come with the discs give a handful of hidden experience rewards.
The mod is built for music lovers who want more variety in their worlds. Forge and NeoForge are supported, and the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 game versions each have a release. The server and every player need the mod installed. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. A secret disc is also included among the additions.
