AudioBridge
by Cinnamonpuma
With AudioBridge installed, the song a player is listening to in Spotify appears on the Minecraft HUD as a live Playing overlay.
What it does
AudioBridge reads the media session that Spotify exposes through Windows media controls and shows the current title, artist and album art in a small widget on the HUD. Album art is fetched automatically through the iTunes Search API when the media session does not supply it. The widget hides itself while the music is paused and fades in and out when the track changes. Account linking and API keys are required for the full feature set, and the mod works out of the box for the basic display.
The mod runs on the client alone, so a server can stay vanilla and players can join without installing anything. Gameplay is not affected, and the widget only changes what is drawn on screen. Fabric API is required, and files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 26.1 – 26.1.2, with 1.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file. AudioBridge is not open source and is released as All rights reserved.
