Keep That Music - Updated
This is a NeoForge 1.21.1 port of Keep That Music, originally created for Fabric by DarkAndBlue.
What it does
Keep That Music prevents Minecraft from unnecessarily stopping or replacing the currently playing background music during events such as:
- Dimension changes (for example Nether portals)
- Player respawn
- Reconnecting to a singleplayer world
- Pausing the game
- Returning to the title screen
Instead of abruptly cutting off the track, the music continues seamlessly.
This mod is fully client-side.
Port Information
This version ports the Fabric 1.20.1 release to NeoForge 1.21.1.
No gameplay changes were introduced beyond adapting the implementation to NeoForge and updated Minecraft internals.
