Better Jukebox

A variety of jukebox tweaks to make them behave like background music instead of as block sounds.

Features

• Music disc sounds are now non-directional, meaning they play in both ears equally regardless of where you're facing
• Automatically pauses background music while an active jukebox is within range, so the two don't conflict
  • The background music gradually fades in & out, and pauses fully when the volume fully fades out
  • Music discs now continue playing in the pause menu just like background music does
  • Jukeboxes now play at full volume from 0 to 50 blocks, fully fading out at 100 blocks

Goals

• Add config options for jukebox distance & ticks to fade in/out

Known Issues

• Forge 1.20.1: I can't seem to get a native Forge 1.20.1 working for some reason, but fortunately it does work with Sinytra Connector + the Fabric 1.20.1 build.
