[IMPROVEMENT/SUGGESTION] mobs dance

Is your improvement request related to a problem? Please describe.
In vanilla Minecraft you have Parrots dancing when a jukebox is played. I forgot if there's more. Other mods add their own dancing mobs. But the mobs do not like my music as much which is very sad.

Describe the solution you'd like
I think it'd be nice if there was a way to make mobs dance when you're playing music. It'd be fun for performances and make you feel like you have an interested audience. Plus it's just cute. Whether that's done through a different block that is optional (Like a Jukebox Relay or something similar, telling the nearby mobs a jukebox is playing so long as it gets a note) or they dance always when a nearby player or maestro is playing, I'm not sure.

Additional context
I don't know how dancing works but if it's possible to make it so the same jukebox playing event most mods use is utilized that'd be ideal so other mobs from other mods will dance.

Hello! Apologies for the slow reply and thanks for your suggestion! I love this idea!

I've tried to trigger the default jukebox playing event in the past but ran into trouble because it expects to be told when to start and when to stop and the starting part is easy in MIMI but figuring out when to stop is an interesting problem (I.E: Should it stop after 1-2 seconds of notes?) because I'll need some sort of way to track that state.

I actually am really intrigued by the idea of a Jukebox relay! Having a specific block track the state I mentioned before would be a good way of solving that! I'll have to look into doing something like that

Hello! I've uploaded a beta version of the next release of MIMI for NeoForge 1.21.1 to Modrinth and CurseForge (CurseForge may take a few hours for it to be approved)!

I'll be working on back-porting the changes to Forge and the other supported versions of Minecraft over the next couple of days, but if you have some time please try out the beta and see if it helps out your issue!

Thanks for supporting MIMI! ๐Ÿ˜„
