True Boss Music
Adds much needed boss music to Minecraft's Bosses!
About this Mod
Ranold's True Boss Music
Lets face it, vanilla boss fights are boring.
Sure, you could install a mod to make the fight harder, giving the boss some new attacks, maybe more health, but it still lacks something that, in my opinion, all boss fights should have.
Music
This mod fixes that, with some bonus features as well.

Server lagging with True Boss Music – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if True Boss Music consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
