Ultimate Battle Music
by Nanaky
Ultimate Battle Music plays a separate battle track when hostile mobs such as the Ender Dragon, Wither, Warden, raiders and Nether mobs come close, and it runs on the client alone.
What it does
Battle music starts when a monster enters a configurable detection radius around the player, and it fades in and out instead of cutting abruptly. The detection radius can be set separately for each monster type, so a boss can trigger the battle track from farther away than an ordinary mob.
Each battle theme has its own file, covering the Ender Dragon, Wither, Warden, raid, illager and Nether fights. A normal variant is included, and volume and an underwater pitch modifier can be adjusted. Within a small radius around a creeper, the music plays, so the vanilla atmosphere is kept. Custom songs can replace the defaults through a resource pack by overwriting the sound files in the assets folder.
Client-side only: the mod needs only the client, so players install it and servers need nothing. It requires client-side dependencies and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which is open source. Files are published for Fabric on 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 26.3 as the latest file from 2026-09-16.
Key features
Battle tracks per mob
Separate battle songs play for the Ender Dragon, Wither, Warden, raids, illagers and Nether mobs.
Fade in and out
The battle track fades in when a threat appears and fades out after it passes, rather than switching abruptly.
Detection radius per monster
Each monster type has its own detection radius, so bosses can start the music from farther away.
Volume and underwater pitch
Volume can be set to suit each player, and an underwater pitch modifier changes the track when the player is submerged, which can be switched off.
Custom songs
A resource pack can overwrite the battle sound files with other songs, leaving the default tracks unchanged otherwise.
