Melody Forge
by Vilno
Melody Forge adds a Record Blank item and crafting recipes that turn it into music discs, giving players another way to collect the Minecraft soundtrack.
What it does
Players craft a Record Blank, which serves as the base material for every disc the mod produces. Once a Record Blank is made, the mod's recipes turn it into the available discs, so the full soundtrack can be assembled from crafting rather than depending only on rare drops. The Record Blank works as a universal disc template, so one item covers the whole set.
Melody Forge is published for NeoForge only, with a single build for 1.21.8 released on 2025-12-27 under the MIT License. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The mod is not open source, and its issue tracker is the public link available for reporting problems.
Key features
Record Blank item

Crafting makes it possible to gather the complete Minecraft soundtrack without waiting for rare drops.
Expanded musical atmosphere
Extra discs add more music to a world, which suits players who collect the game's soundtrack.

Use cases
Completing the disc set
Collectors who want every soundtrack disc can craft the ones they are missing instead of hunting for drops.
Building music rooms
Players decorating jukebox rooms or note blocks can stock them with discs they made themselves.
Who it’s for: Players who collect Minecraft music discs and want a craftable route to the full soundtrack. Server owners who want a shared disc supply for multiplayer worlds can also run it, since both sides need the same build.
