Pocket Jukebox
by Ragek34
Pocket Jukebox puts a portable music player into the game, so a player can carry the default soundtrack and classic discs wherever they go.
What it does
The mod adds a portable player that plays the default Minecraft music, along with classic new music discs and a selection of C418's well-known tracks. Ambient soundtracks are included for different biomes, so the music can change as a player travels through the world. A menu lets the player pick which track plays.
The mod is a client mod: only the player's client needs it, and servers run without it. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Fabric API must be installed next to it for it to load. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.1 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-02-12.

Biome ambient tracks
Ambient soundtracks are assigned to different biomes, so the background music shifts with the surroundings.
