True Adaptive Music

by LilTOJustice

True Adaptive Music changes the background soundtrack in response to what happens in the game, switching tracks when a mob approaches, a fight begins or a village comes into view.

What it does

Players set up their own music packs, and the mod chooses which track plays in each situation. Calm exploration can use one set of tracks, while a mob approaching moves the soundtrack into combat music, which fades back to the calm track once the mob is defeated. Finding a village can fade the music into a separate village track. Tracks can be tied to a specific biome, so a desert or a cave plays its own music, and combat tracks can be assigned per biome too.

The mod also covers boss encounters, including the Ender Dragon, and it can be made to respond to mods that add bosses, biomes, structures or dimensions. Music packs can add tracks alongside the vanilla soundtrack or replace it, and old audio files already present in the game are picked up as well. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds listed for 1.18.2 – 26.3. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Kotlin for Forge are required, depending on the loader.

Key features

  1. Situational combat music

    Combat music starts when a mob approaches and returns to the normal track after the mob is defeated.

  2. Fading transitions

    Tracks fade in and out when the player finds a village or changes situation, instead of cutting abruptly.

  3. Biome-specific tracks

    Specific calm or combat tracks can be set for each biome, so the soundtrack follows the terrain.

  4. Custom music packs

    Players build packs that add music to the vanilla soundtrack, and reuse existing audio files from other mods.

Questions

Does True Adaptive Music need Fabric API on Forge?

Fabric API is listed as required, but the Forge and NeoForge builds depend on Kotlin for Forge, so the required libraries differ by loader.

Does the server need True Adaptive Music?

No. Only the client must run it, and a server may add it for extra features, since either side can start without it being mandatory on the server.

Can the mod play music from mods that add biomes?

Yes. The mod can be made to respond to mods that add bosses, biomes, structures and dimensions, and tracks can be set for them.
