Nitric's Music Discs
by NitricAcid
Nitric's Music Discs adds ten music discs with their own crafting recipes, all for Fabric players on 1.21.3 – 1.21.5.
What it does
Each disc is crafted from a material chosen by the author, and the recipes draw on redstone, gold, diamond, amethyst and turtle scute. A redstone-based disc is meant to resemble a virtual association, and the gunpowder and chain recipes follow the same idea of matching a material to an item shape. The author notes that new discs may not receive a recipe, so the list may change.
The songs include Never Gonna Give Up by Rick Astley, Another One Bites Dust, Analog Sunrise by Michael Wyckoff, a Lava Chicken track, Steve Jack Black, and tracks from BONELAB and BONEWORKS. Players can play them in a jukebox and listen to them while building. The mod is made mainly for small survival servers, and it is client-side only, so a server does not need to install it.
Files cover game versions 1.21.3, 1.21.4 and 1.21.5. The latest Fabric file is 1.2.0 for 1.21.5, published on 2025-05-04. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public links for the source code and issue tracker are available.
