Music Moods

A highly configurable modern music engine, handling cross-fading, constant music and uninterruptible music. Useful for cases where resource packs and mods replace the music immediately instead of just letting it play for any reason.

How to Use

Music Moods requires Minecraft 1.16.5+ and Java 17+, and can run on Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge and Forge.

Warning: Running Music Moods on cross-loader compatibility and translation layers, such as Sinytra Connector and Kilt, is unsupported due to non-trivial transforms best handled natively. Install the version of Music Moods native to your loader when it's available.

For Fabric, you must install Fabric API, or if you're on Quilt, the Quilted Fabric API & Quilt Standard Libraries. For the best experience, you may want to also install Mod Menu.

For Forge 1.20, and 1.17 and older, you must install ObsidianUI and Architectury API as well.

Mod Support

Designed around the BetterNether and BetterEnd mods' built in resource packs, you can play with any mod or resource pack that has per-biome music that replaces the current track to have it smoothly transition.

Limited support has been added for Vanilla Backport, The Immersive Music Mod, FrozenLib, and Legacy4J.

Configuration

You can edit the config in game when Mod Menu is installed by navigating to Mods, Music Moods, then hitting the Configure... button. Alternatively, there's the new Music & Sound options screen.
