CraftMusic
by tqk114514
CraftMusic gives the game a local music player that plays audio files from a folder inside the game directory and shows synchronized lyrics.
What it does
Audio files placed in the CraftMusic folder inside the game folder can be played from an in-game screen. The supported formats are ogg, mp3, flac and wav, and file names and paths containing Chinese characters work on Windows. A QuickPlay screen lists the tracks, and double-clicking one starts it, with a seek bar, time text and a volume bar alongside.
Lyrics are read from .lrc files that share a track's name, in either UTF-8 or GBK encoding. A centered lyrics panel highlights the current line and scales it gently, while a floating lyrics overlay can be placed in one of four screen corners and shown only in the world or everywhere. Commands such as craftmusic play, craftmusic stop, craftmusic ui and craftmusic tone control playback from chat.
CraftMusic is a client-side mod for NeoForge. Only the client needs it, and servers run without it. Files are published for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.2.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest build from 2026-09-16. The code is open source under the MIT License.
