Who Stopped The Music

Who Stopped The Music is a client-side Minecraft mod that makes the game’s music feel less broken and easier to control.

Minecraft normally leaves long quiet gaps between songs, and sometimes the music stops in ways that feel random. This mod keeps the soundtrack moving, shows you what song is playing, and gives you a simple in-game music controller when you want more control.

What it does

Removes the long silent gaps between normal Minecraft music tracks.
Helps songs keep playing instead of getting cut off too early.
Shows a small "Now playing" notice when music or records start.
Adds a cassette-style music button to the pause menu.
Adds a Music Settings screen, opened with Ctrl+M.
Lets you play, stop, skip, shuffle, search, and choose which official songs can play.
Works with the Minecraft soundtrack and music discs.
Saves your music settings between game sessions.

By default, the mod stays out of the way. Minecraft still chooses the music like normal, but the annoying silence gaps and early cutoffs are fixed. If you turn on the extra controls, you can take over playback yourself and choose what you want to hear.

Music Settings behavior

Controls off: vanilla controls track choice. The panel is mostly read-only, but no-gap playback still works.
Controls on: the panel can directly play selected official soundtrack and music-disc tracks.
Play: starts a random selected song when nothing is currently playing.
Stop: stops music and keeps it silent until the player starts music again or turns controls off.
Previous / Next: move through selected songs when shuffle is on, or choose from selected songs when shuffle is off.
Shuffle: plays through the selected songs before repeating them.
Select All / Deselect All: enable or disable every listed track. Deselect All stops playback and keeps music silent.
Music Volume: changes Minecraft's built-in Music volume option.

What it does not do

Does not add new music.
Does not affect sound effects or ambient sounds.
Does not require a server install.
Does not change jukebox mechanics beyond showing the song-name toast when records start.
