Music Frequency Controller
Music Frequency Controller lets players change how often background music plays in Minecraft, from 0.1x to 10.0x the vanilla timing.
What it does
The mod changes the timing of background music by modifying the music tracker class with a Mixin. Players drag a frequency slider to set a value anywhere from 0.1x to 10.0x vanilla, with adjustments that can be made in small steps or nearly continuously. Pressing M opens the configuration screen, and clicking Done saves the chosen value.
Settings persist across game restarts, so the chosen frequency is kept without being set again each session. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.4, and it requires Fabric API, which must be installed alongside it. The mod is open source under the MIT License and has source code publicly available.
