Current Game Music Track
by Serilum
Current Game Music Track shows the title of the song that is playing as a short on-screen text, a feature that suits players who want to know what the game is playing without opening any menu.
What it does
When a new music track starts, the mod displays its title in a small text box drawn over the game screen. The title fades in above the selected item name, stays visible for a set number of ticks and then fades out again. Those timings, the text position, the offsets and the text colour can all be changed in the config file, and a text shadow can be turned on or off. The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and a server can run without it.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.18.2 – 26.3 across 25 release versions. The latest file for each loader targets 26.3 and was published on 2026-10-02. Collective is a required dependency and must be installed alongside the mod. The code is not open source; the project is released under All rights reserved, and public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Song title display
The title of the playing track appears on screen while the game plays music, so players can tell which song it is.
Fade and duration settings
Title fade in, fade out and the number of ticks the title stays on screen can each be set in the config.
Position and offsets
The GUI can sit at the left, centre or right of the screen, with horizontal and vertical offsets to avoid other interface elements.
Text colour and shadow
Red, green and blue values set the text colour, and a shadow can be drawn beneath the text.

Constant Music is also open source and client-side only, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, but its files cover 1.19 – 1.21.8. True Adaptive Music is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and needs the client, while the server may stay optional; it has no Quilt build.
