MenuTune
by xiao364
MenuTune changes the soundtrack that plays on the Minecraft main menu, letting players swap in their own tracks and set how they play.
What it does
Title music is handled across versions from one mod, so the menu theme can be replaced without touching other game audio. Players add their own menu tracks as .ogg files, which the mod loads when the game starts, and a config screen lets them enable or disable individual songs.
Playback order is set in the same screen. Tracks can be played at random, in sequence, or as a single track on repeat. The mod is built around customizing the main menu soundtrack alone and stays lightweight and close to vanilla behavior. It runs on the client only, so servers and other players do not need it, and it is published for Fabric and Forge across 40 release versions, 1.16 – 26.3, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Custom menu tracks
Players add their own .ogg files to use as main menu music in place of the default soundtrack.
Per-song toggles
A config screen enables or disables each song, so only the chosen tracks are included in the rotation.
Playback modes
Tracks can play at random, in sequence, or repeat a single track, depending on the chosen setting.
Lightweight design
The mod is limited to the main menu soundtrack and keeps its footprint small next to vanilla behavior.

Use cases
Personal menu soundtrack
A player who wants a favorite song to open every session can add it as a menu track and set it to repeat.
Rotating menu themes
Players who want variety can enable several songs and let the mod pick them at random.
Who it’s for: Players who want to change the main menu music on the client. Because it runs on the client only, it needs no installation on servers.
