Custom Playlist
Custom Playlist lets players listen to their own background music in Minecraft through a clean, minimal black interface that stays out of the way.
What it does
The mod plays a chosen set of tracks during a session, with keys for opening the playlist, skipping forward, going back, and starting or stopping playback. The HUD can be hidden with a single key. It runs on the client alone, so only players install it and servers do not need it. Builds exist for Fabric only, with one release, 1.0.0, for 1.21.8.
Key features
Built-in track list
Songs bundled with the mod include Battle Broken Sky, Chaos Construct, Decisive Battle and Void Swordfight, among others.
Keyboard playback controls
J opens the playlist, N skips to the next song, V returns to the previous one, and B starts or stops playback.
HUD visibility toggle
Pressing K shows or hides the on-screen music display without stopping the track.
