World music player

World Music Player

A client-side world music mod for Minecraft NeoForge, with separate playlists for morning, noon, evening, and midnight, each supporting up to 10 tracks. Only one randomly selected track plays during each time period. Once it finishes, the music stays silent until the next period.

Supported Versions

The current mod version is 1.0.1. The minimum NeoForge versions have been tested; later builds have not been individually verified.

Features

• Separate playlists for four time periods, supporting individual vanilla tracks and custom Ogg Vorbis music from resource packs.
• When a new period begins, any unfinished track from the previous period stops, and a new track is selected.
• Once a track has played, editing the playlist, reloading resources, or changing dimensions does not grant another playback during the same period. Leaving and rejoining starts a new session, and the current period is evaluated again.
• Replaces Overworld music by default, with an option to make other dimensions follow the Overworld clock.
• If no track has played yet and the playlist is empty or contains no valid tracks, you can choose to use vanilla music or remain silent.
• Respects the game’s master and music volume settings without affecting jukeboxes or other sound effects.

Sleeping, time commands, and changes to the game clock’s rate affect when periods change.

Installation and Configuration

Place the mod JAR for your Minecraft version in the client’s mods folder. No server installation is required. Edit playlists through World Music → Config in the mod list, or run /worldmusic config while in a world.

The configuration file is config/world_music-client.toml inside your game instance. Without custom music, the default playlists reference 12 vanilla tracks already included in the game.

See sounds.json for other built-in single-track references. Vanilla sound events such as minecraft:music.game may themselves contain multiple randomly selected tracks.

Server operator permissions are not required.

Custom Music

**This mod does not include user music, Minecraft audio files, or generated music ZIPs.
To use custom music, please refer to the instructions in the source code project to create a resource pack.
