Cranberry
Cranberry lets a player control whatever music is playing on their computer from inside Minecraft.
What it does
Cranberry shows and controls the music playing on the computer from within the game. Playback is handled through the operating system, and the feature works only on macOS. On other platforms the mod disables itself automatically, so it does nothing there.
When the player is in a multiplayer session and the mod is also installed on the server, other players on that server can see what the player is listening to. Sending and receiving these music statuses can be turned off in the configuration, and the status sharing is optional, so the mod itself stays optional for servers. Cranberry is client-side only, which means the server does not need it for playback control, but it does need the owo-lib library and the mod to connect without registry mismatches.
Installation needs Circumflex, Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib). The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt, for game versions 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source.

What the author says
Cranberry allows you to control whatever music is playing on your computer from within Minecraft. If also installed on a server, others with the mod will be able to see what you're listening to (disableable). Cranberry is currently only supported on macOS and will automatically disable itself on any other platform.
