Motivation

I started work on this mod after being inspired to extend the SBM Jukebox mod, which brings the Bedrock music disc playlist functionality to Java. I wanted to add an outdoor concert venue to my survival world (the name FoxNap is an homage to the Wolf Trap center for the performing arts, which was a huge fixture of my childhood), but what I kept getting hung up on was how I could source and provide the music without violating copyright--forget about adding my own personal music collection, even YouTube's "Free" audio library was off-limits, as the license terms explicitly state:

You may not make available, distribute or perform the music files from this library separately from videos and other content into which you have incorporated these music files (e.g., standalone distribution of these files is not permitted).

As I saw it, there were two options for getting around this limitation (besides abandoning the project or not sharing this mod with anyone)

1. Limit the music included with the mod to permissively-licensed (public domain, attribution or copyleft) audio
2. Allow users to provide their own music via a config or a resource pack

In the end, I decided, why not both?
