Cat Jam Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I make cats dance?

Place a jukebox near one or more cats, then insert a music disc and play it. Any cats within range will automatically start bobbing their heads to the beat.

Do all music discs have different dances?

Yes, every music disc in the base game has its own unique head-bobbing routine. Custom music discs from other mods will use a universal dance pattern unless the mod is specifically supported.

Which mods have special cat dances?

Popular mods like Quark, Supplementaries, and Alex's Mobs have custom dance routines for their music discs. Other mods' discs will play the default universal dance.

Does Cat Jam work on multiplayer servers?

Yes, it's completely client-side, so you can use it on any server without affecting other players or the world.

How far away can cats be and still dance?

Cats need to be within a certain range of the jukebox to react; if a cat isn't dancing, try moving the jukebox closer or moving the cat nearer to it.

Will cats dance to ambient sounds or just jukeboxes?

Only music discs played through jukeboxes trigger dancing. Background and ambient sounds are ignored.

Can I use Cat Jam with music from other mods?

Yes, if another mod adds music discs, cats will dance to them using the universal dance routine unless that mod has a custom dance pack.

Do I need to do anything special to set up Cat Jam?

No setup required—just install the mod and place a jukebox near cats. The mod works automatically.

Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?

Cat Jam is designed to be lightweight since it only affects client-side animations and doesn't change world mechanics.

What if my cats aren't dancing?

Make sure the jukebox is playing (not just placed), the cats are close enough to the jukebox, and the music disc is actually inserted and running.
