More Music
by arthomnix
With More Music, the background tracks keep playing with only short pauses, and those pauses can be tuned for each setting.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft leaves long silences between its background tracks. This client-side mod removes most of that gap so that one song is followed by another almost immediately. The minimum and maximum delay in ticks can be set separately for each setting, so a player who wants fewer tracks can lengthen the pauses instead.
The default pause is 20 to 40 ticks, which is one to two seconds, so transitions do not feel abrupt. The dragon fight in the End uses a delay of zero by default. Cloth Config API 11.1 or later is required, and Fabric API must also be present on Fabric. Mod Menu is optional but is the usual way to open the configuration screen.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files exist for Fabric and Quilt across 1.18.2 – 1.20.2, with 0.1.5+1.20.2 for 1.20.2 as the latest file, published on 2023-10-30. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Continuous background music
Tracks are queued with only a short gap, so the soundtrack plays most of the time instead of stopping between songs.

Minimum and maximum delays can be set separately for the main menu, gameplay, creative mode and the End.
Dragon fight exception
The Ender Dragon fight uses its own default delay of zero, keeping that music uninterrupted.
