Lunar Music
Lunar Music puts a music player into the game, opened from a small button placed near the top-right of the title and settings menus.
What it does
The player opens a dedicated interface that builds an automatically updating playlist from the local music files in the musicplayer folder. Playback controls include play, stop and a volume slider. While custom music plays, Minecraft's vanilla background music is muted, and an Auto-Play option starts a random track as soon as the game launches.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's own game needs it and servers do not have to install anything. Lunar Music is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The latest NeoForge file is 1.1.1 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-08-07 on the beta channel.
Key features
Menu access button
A discrete music player button is placed in a corner of the title and settings screens, leaving the rest of the layout as it is.
Playlist from local files
The playlist refreshes on its own, so new audio files added to the folder appear the next time the player menu opens.
Playback controls
Play, stop and a volume slider let the player choose what runs without leaving the menu.
Vanilla music muting
Minecraft's default background soundtrack is silenced whenever a custom track is playing.
