Music and Melody
by Rebel459
With Music and Melody installed, the in-game soundtrack gains a music player, a weighting overhaul for the vanilla music pool, and a set of event-based playback rules.
What it does
The mod replaces how background music is chosen in the game. Music and Melody only reweights the music pool and adds fixes for vanilla bugs, so the default soundtrack keeps its tracks while playing with more balance. Players can import their own music in the formats .ogg, .mp3, .flac and .wav, and the import is handled inside the game.
Playback is controlled through queues, shuffle, loop and saved positions, and a player screen lets players browse, install and play vanilla, modded and custom tracks. Tracks and albums can be disabled, and the rules for when music plays, including biome-specific and structure-specific music, are set through resource-driven conditions that Resource Pack and Modpack developers can extend.
Installation needs Fabric or NeoForge, plus Cloth Config API and Unified API, which must be present in the same game version. Music and Melody is distributed under a custom license and is not open source. Files are published for 1.21 – 26.2.
