Mini Music Tweaks
by evanbones
Mini Music Tweaks changes how Minecraft's music and sound behave, with dynamic combat music, toast notifications for background music and discs, and smoother jukebox audio.
What it does
Combat music plays when the player takes damage or hostile mobs give chase, and it can be switched off in the settings. Toast notifications appear when background music or a music disc begins, showing which track is playing. The jukebox audio is reworked so vanilla music crossfades into a jukebox track based on the distance to the jukebox.
The mod is a client-side collection of configurable music and sound features, so only the player's own installation needs it. Cloth Config API is an optional dependency that adds a settings screen for the options. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 26.1 and 26.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Tracking background music
Toasts show which background track or disc is currently playing without opening a menu.
Who it’s for: Players who want more responsive music in single-player or on multiplayer servers. Because the mod is client-side, server owners do not need to install it.
