PvP Music
by punchthecake
PvP Music plays a single song chosen at random when a player engages a mob, then fades it out as the fight ends.
What it does
When a player starts a fight with a mob, one song from the mod is picked at random and begins to play. The track is meant to make battles feel more dramatic, and it runs on the client alone, so players can add it without any change to a server. Mod Menu is required, and it is used to adjust the options that control the music.
The music changes with the outcome of the fight. While the battle goes on the track stays at full volume. If the player is hit or the enemy is defeated, the song fades out, faster or slower depending on the speed set in the options, and returns to full volume at once when the fight resumes. Resource packs can supply custom songs and phased music, and the author notes that the mod works with resource pack compatible files.
The files are published for Fabric only, for three game versions: 1.21.8, 1.21.9 and 1.21.10, with 1.2.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. The mod is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is not open source, and its music credits go to antimo welles.
Key features
Random battle song
A single track is picked at random each time the player engages a mob, so the music differs between fights.
Fading on hit or defeat
The song fades out when the player takes damage or the enemy dies, at a speed the options set.
Instant return to full volume
When the player fights back, the track returns to full volume immediately, without waiting for a new song.

Custom songs and phased music can be supplied through a resource pack, which the author recommends for the full experience.
