Threat Music Mod
by Fouriiiis
Threat Music Mod brings the threat music system of Rain World into Minecraft, replacing the vanilla ambient tracks with region-specific music on Fabric.
What it does
The mod implements a threat music system modeled on the one in Rain World, and its recreation is described as mostly accurate. The soundtrack reacts to nearby entities and player actions, so the music shifts as danger rises around the player. It runs entirely on the client and is compatible with most mods that add entities.
Music is organized into regions, including regions from the base game and its DLC. Regions can have day and night variants for certain areas, and raids in Metropolis have their own specific themes. Biome-level settings let players customize the music for each biome. The mod is published for Fabric only, and its Forge support is not part of the published files.
Installation means placing the mod file in the mods folder. Files cover 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

How it compares
Tears Music mod is also a Fabric music mod for 1.21.1, released under the MIT License and open source, and it runs on the client alone. Cool Rain is a Fabric mod for 1.16.5 – 26.3 under All rights reserved, which is not open source; it works on the client, and a server can optionally run it too. Rain World Origins is a Fabric mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.2 that runs on client and server, released under the MIT License. Threat Music Mod differs from these by staying client-only and covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.
