Music Config
by Towodile
Music Config lets players set how often each music track plays in each game context, from the options screen, with search and previews.
What it does
Players open the config screen from Options, then Music, then Sounds, where Music Config adds its own entry. Each context of the game, such as the overworld, the swamp, the nether or the crimson forest, lists its tracks, and a slider sets how often each track is chosen. A track can be set to play often, sometimes or never, so one piece can be favored over others or disabled altogether.
Tracks can be searched by name or artist, and contexts can be collapsed when they are not needed, which keeps long lists manageable. A preview picks a randomly selected context-specific track so the result of a setting can be heard without waiting for the game to reach that context. The mod also supports additional music resource packs from other mods.
Music Config is a client-side only mod for Fabric, published for 1.21.6 and 1.21.7 in a single release, 0.1.0 for 1.21.7, dated 2025-07-14. Only the client needs it, so servers and other players do not have to install anything. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with a public source code repository and issue tracker.
Key features

A slider sets how often each track plays within its context, from frequent to disabled.
Context grouping
Tracks are grouped by the game context they belong to, such as the overworld or the crimson forest.
Search by name or artist
A search field filters tracks by title or artist, and unimportant contexts can be collapsed.
Context previews
A preview plays a randomly selected track for the chosen context, so a change can be checked by ear.

How it compares
Music Frequency Controller is a Fabric mod for 1.21.4 under the MIT License and is open source. Music Player is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.11 under the MIT License and is open source, so it is a playback tool rather than a frequency setting. NameManager is client-side only for Fabric 1.21.4, with all rights reserved and no open source.
