Startup Music Tone

by InfinityTwoGames

Startup Music Tone plays a chosen track when the game window opens, drawn from a folder of audio files the player fills in.

What it does

The mod starts music at launch. On the first run after installation it creates its folders and a config file, so the player only has to launch the game once and then drop audio into the music folder. Supported formats are MP3 (partially) and OGG files, and every file in the folder joins the pool that is chosen from at startup.

Each launch picks one track at random, so a single theme can be fixed or a randomized playlist can be used. Tracks stream straight from disk rather than loading into memory, which keeps RAM use low and startup quick. The mod is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it, and servers can run without it. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, is open source, and is published for Forge with eight release versions across 1.18.2 – 1.20.1.

Key features

  1. Music at window open

    A track plays as soon as the game window appears, before the main menu is reached.

  2. Streamed playback

    Audio is streamed from storage instead of being held in RAM, so memory use stays near zero.

  3. Weighted random selection

    Each track can carry its own volume and weight, so certain songs come up more or less often than others.

  4. Config and folder tools

    A locate-folder option opens the modpack config directory, and the optional config file lets players tweak volume and rarity.

Use cases

Single theme or playlist

A pack author can put one piece of music in the folder for a fixed opening, or many files for a randomized rotation.

Modpack setups

Pack makers can ship the music folder with their pack so every player hears the same set of tracks at launch.

Who it’s for: Players who want their own music at launch, and modpack makers who want a consistent startup theme without loading large audio into memory.

Questions

Does Startup Music Tone need a server install?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Which audio files can be used?

Files placed in the music folder are used, with MP3 supported partially and OGG files supported. The folder is created on the first launch.

Can the chance of a track be changed?

Yes. The config file can set per-track volume and weight, so certain songs are chosen less often than others.
