New Year Music
New Year Music is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that adds nine holiday music records and a crafted music player for playing them.
What it does
Nine holiday records join the game, each carrying a tune with a New Year or Christmas theme. The records are meant to be played through a music player that players build themselves from ordinary materials found in the world. The mod's stated aim is to bring a holiday mood to building, exploring and gatherings with friends.
Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod installed. Only NeoForge builds are published, and the single file is version 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, released on 2024-12-27. The code is not open source, and the author holds all rights, so the mod cannot be redistributed or modified without permission. The author also notes that the textures were taken from the internet and that the recorded music belongs to the mod author.
