Disc Preview
by krakenk0
Disc Preview lets a player hear a music disc before buying or crafting one, by hovering over it in an inventory screen.
What it does
Hovering the cursor over a music disc in any inventory starts a short preview of that track after a delay of 0.75 seconds. The preview fades in and out smoothly, and its loudness follows the Records sound volume in the game's settings. The preview only plays inside inventories, so the mod does nothing during normal play.
Disc Preview works with custom music discs added by other mods, such as More Music Discs by MarsThePlanet. Its on/off switch and volume slider sit in the mod's options. Installation needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings from the mod list.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player needs it and servers run without it. It is published for Fabric alone and targets 1.21.11, with 1.0.1 the latest file. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
