Sea Shanty Discs
by greyb_
Sea Shanty Discs adds fifteen music discs that play sea shanties, which can be obtained from fishermen or found through exploration.
What it does
The discs are craftable and trade-able items, with each disc carrying one sea shanty track. Fifteen new discs are included, and they can be obtained by trading with expert level 4 fishermen. The mod is developed for Fabric, the only loader it targets, and its file is built for 1.21.11 alone.
The discs appear in the adventure and decoration categories, so they fit both builds and exploration. Players who enjoy maritime themes can place them in jukeboxes next to a ship or harbor. Installation requires client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Sea Shanty Discs is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
