Music Triggers
With Music Triggers installed, the game picks tracks in response to events happening in play, such as fights, weather and nightfall.
What it does
Music Triggers plays music tied to in-game triggers. Its config folder and files are created the first time the game runs, so no manual setup is needed before the triggers can be edited. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.12 – 1.21.1 across 10 release versions.
The mod also lists integrations with Infernal Mobs, Better Weather and Bloodmoon, which connect certain triggers to those mods. The Impossible Library is required, and since version 7 it is the only dependency. The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source.
Key features
Trigger-based tracks
Music changes when a configured in-game event starts, such as a mob encounter or a shift in weather.
Generated config files
Running the game once creates the config files and folders the mod uses for its triggers and track lists.
Mod integrations
Triggers can respond to events from Infernal Mobs, Better Weather and Bloodmoon.
Recorder and disc textures
The mod includes Music Disc and Recorder textures credited to Arizaniac, along with new logo and GUI icons.
