Meret
by ModFest
Meret lets mapmakers assign music to specific areas of an adventure map, overriding the standard situational tracks while those areas are entered.
What it does
Mapmakers define music override areas in a world, and the track assigned to an area plays while a player is inside it, replacing the usual situational music. Music in the in-game menus still plays as normal. The mod requires Area Lib and Fabric API, both of which must be installed for it to run.
Meret runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, 1.21.7, 1.21.8 and 26.1, with 0.4.0-26.1+26.1 as the latest file, released 2026-04-30. It is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source.
Key features
Soundtrack areas
Mapmakers can place areas that play a chosen soundtrack, giving each part of an adventure its own music.
Situational music override
Inside a marked area, the normal situational tracks are suppressed so the assigned music plays instead.
Menu music unchanged
Music in the in-game menus keeps playing as usual, so only the world music is affected.
