TH's Boss Musics
by TeHas
TH's Boss Musics brings custom boss themes to the bosses of Minecraft, including the Ender Dragon and the Elder Guardian, on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
Each supported boss plays its own original theme while it is fought, replacing the default boss music. The soundtrack is built around the Ender Dragon and the Elder Guardian, and the mod also covers the Wither, the Warden and other strong foes of the game.
Several themes are issued as music discs. The Ender Dragon Last Flight, Wither Blight, Warden Where Light Dies and Elder Guardian Maelstrom discs can be obtained from the boss, and a defeated boss still drops its disc. Because the Elder Guardian spawns often in ocean monuments, its theme plays automatically there, and the mod stops overlapping tracks so the audio stays clean.
The mod is installed on the server only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Forge and 1.20.1 alone, and the code is not open source: the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Original boss themes
Each supported boss has its own original track, written for the mod rather than taken from the vanilla soundtrack.
Music discs from bosses
Ender Dragon Last Flight, Wither Blight, Warden Where Light Dies and Elder Guardian Maelstrom are discs that a defeated boss drops.
Automatic Elder Guardian theme
The Elder Guardian theme plays on its own in ocean monuments, where that mob appears in large numbers.
No overlapping audio
Boss tracks do not play over each other, so only one theme is audible at a time during a fight.

Who it’s for: Server owners running Forge 1.20.1 who want boss fights to have their own music, and players who collect music discs from bosses.

What the author says
TH’s Boss Musics adds original boss themes to Minecraft’s strongest foes! Elder Guardian intentionally does NOT auto-play due to its high spawn count in ocean monuments. This prevents overlapping audio and keeps your gameplay clean but don't worry! It still drops its disc when defeated.
