Wind-up Music Box
by AnAwesomGuy
Wind-up Music Box adds a placeable music box that plays songs when a player winds it up, and it can also play custom songs.
What it does
Placing the box on the ground and right-clicking it winds the mechanism, and a tune starts playing afterward. Shift-clicking opens and closes the lid. The mod is a Fabric mod that needs Fabric API and is published for 1.21.7 and 1.21.8, with 0.3.1 as the latest file. Both client and server need it, so the server and every player run it together. It is released under the MS-RL license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
