About this project

What does Music Looper add?

Music Looper

Keeps Minecraft's music playing forever — and lets you play your own songs.

Minecraft Client-side only, no need to install on the server

What it does

1. Continuous vanilla music

Vanilla background music goes silent for a few minutes after each track. With this mod, one song flows straight into the next — you barely notice a gap. Track selection works just like vanilla: it picks music based on the biome and dimension you're in.

2. Play your own music

The mod creates this folder for you:

.minecraft/config/musiclooper/music/

Just drop your songs in (subfolders work too) and they'll be added to the random playlist, alternating with the vanilla music.

Supported formats:

Format Notes
.ogg Most reliable — uses Minecraft's built-in decoder
.mp3 Decoder is bundled, plays out of the box
.wav / .aiff / .au Uses Java's built-in decoders

After adding songs, run this command in-game to rescan:

/musiclooper reload

3. Shut the vanilla music up

If you only want to hear your own songs, open the config file:

.minecraft/config/musiclooper-client.toml

And set this to true:

[vanilla]
    # Completely disable vanilla music once there is enough custom music
    disableVanillaMusicWhenEnoughCustom = true

    # How many tracks count as "enough" (default: 5)
    customMusicThreshold = 5

Once your track count reaches the threshold, vanilla music stops entirely.

Commands

Command What it does
/musiclooper reload Rescan the music folder
/musiclooper status Show how many tracks were found, plus current config

Installation

  1. Install Forge 47.x (Minecraft 1.20.1)
  2. Drop musiclooper-1.0.0.jar into .minecraft/mods/
  3. Launch the game
