Music Disc Expansion
Music Disc Expansion, a Forge minigame mod by ThirdArtifact, adds more than 50 music discs and a music game built on a festival setting.
What it does
The mod adds over 50 music discs spanning several genres and many artists, and it backports newer vanilla discs to 1.19.4 and 1.20.1. Discs can be found in unexplored vanilla structures, crafted, or won as exclusives through chance-based gambling. Players earn score in the music game and can exchange earnings for diamonds, gold, podium rewards or other festival prizes.
The music game is played by selecting songs at the Music Festival, where points are tallied from the notes scored. Options control how quickly a song starts after it is selected, how many particles break per note, and the preferred tool layout. Extra noise worlds are available, and a set of commands covers important game information.
Geckolib is required and must be installed alongside the mod. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 0.15.01-alpha for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Tricky Trials Music Discs Backport is another Forge option for client and server, under All rights reserved, with files for 1.17.1 – 1.20.1, so it reaches further back than this mod.
