Musithy
by FishyHard
Musithy adds Retro Boombox cassette tapes that play Minecraft-styled music made from in-game block sounds.
What it does
Cassettes are placed into a Retro Boombox to start their tracks in the world. The set includes four Default Cassettes, a single Nether Cassette and a single End Cassette, each carrying its own tracks. Every melody is assembled from block sounds, so the music stays within the game's own audio.
Cassettes cannot be crafted. Default Cassettes drop from Creepers and appear in spawner chests, the Nether Cassette comes from Piglin bartering and Bastion loot, and the End Cassette sits in End City chests. Curios API is required for the mod to load, and Musithy is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.19.4 – 1.21.4 and the latest builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21.4. The mod is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and its source code is public.
Key features
Retro Boombox playback
A Retro Boombox plays an inserted cassette, bringing its handcrafted music into the surrounding world.
Block-sound melodies
Tracks are assembled from block sounds, which gives the soundtrack a consistent Minecraft character.
Dimension-linked cassettes
The Nether and End cassettes are tied to their dimensions and to the loot sources that open them.
Rare loot sources
Cassettes appear only as drops and chest loot, so finding each one is part of the exploration.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want a soundtrack made from in-game sounds, and server owners who want music tied to loot and exploration. Both sides need the mod, since the environment is client and server.
How it compares
Iam Music Player Renewed is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and covers 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, so it works with more loaders and older versions than Musithy. Starbox Cassettes is NeoForge only for 1.21.1 and released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Vista - All The Cassettes covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
