Nebusic Engine
Nebusic Engine is a Fabric music engine for Minecraft that plays MP3 files from the config folder, built for servers that run events, maps and custom experiences.
What it does
The engine uses the WATERMEDIA multimedia binaries and API to play audio files, so songs placed in the config folder can be loaded directly in MP3 format. Playback is controlled from an in-game menu that offers play, pause, resume and stop buttons, volume control, seeking forward or back, and manual adjustment of a song's duration. Tracks played from the menu are synchronized for every connected player, which suits boss fights, cutscenes, minigames and other scripted moments.
Nebusic Engine also stores a song's configuration as a preset. A preset can hold the selected track, its duration, volume, fade-in and fade-out effects, and commands placed on its timeline, such as a command that fires after a set number of seconds of playback. Presets let a scene be prepared ahead of time and replayed the same way each time. Environment: client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The mod is published for Fabric and 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, and is licensed as All rights reserved.

How it compares
NoksCommands is client-side only, published for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved and not open source, so it does not synchronize audio across a server. RicosMC is client-side only, released under the MIT License and not open source, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.11. Cobbleimport is server-side only, released under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.1, so players join without installing anything for it. Nebusic Engine is client and server and requires WATERMEDIA.
