MusicWheel
by snipergoose
MusicWheel adds a radial music selection wheel that opens with a key press, letting a player pick and play a track from a menu styled after the emote wheels in Fortnite.
What it does
Holding or tapping the wheel key brings up a circular menu of music tracks. A player moves the cursor to a track and releases to start it, so changing background music does not require opening the game's options screens. The wheel is client-side only, so only the player installing it needs the mod and servers can run without it.
A music controller reacts to in-game events and changes the music that plays in response. The behavior is set from a dedicated music options menu inside the mod settings, where event handling and the choice of tracks can be adjusted. The interface supports English and Russian localizations.
The mod is built for Fabric and has a single file, version 1.0.0, for 1.21.11, published on 2026-03-21. It is released under the MIT License but is not open source.

Use cases
Changing tracks during play
A player who wants a different soundtrack for a build or a fight can switch tracks from the wheel without leaving the game.

How it compares
Music Frequency Controller is open source under the MIT License and covers Fabric 1.21.4, so it targets another game version. MusicControlPlus is client-side only, covers 1.21.11 and is released with all rights reserved, so its license differs from MusicWheel. Cornball's Music Player is also client-side only for 1.21.11 and all rights reserved, offering a different music player rather than a radial wheel.
