Hudify
by Lightningtow
Hudify, a Fabric client-side mod, shows Spotify playback information on a HUD, and each player connects it through a Spotify app of their own.
What it does
Hudify displays what Spotify is playing on the in-game HUD. It works as an addon to CustomHud, which draws the display, and it needs MidnightLib as well. The mod runs only on the client, so a server does not need to install it and players join without it.
Spotify limits API requests per app per user, so the mod asks each player to create a Spotify developer app and enter its Client ID in the config. Every player's requests then count against their own quota, which lets Hudify poll the API more often and show more accurate information without hitting rate limits. Creating the app takes about five minutes, costs nothing and does not require a Premium subscription. Uninstalling the mod should be followed by disconnecting the app.
Hudify is published for Fabric across 7 release versions, 1.20.4 – 1.21.10, and the latest file is 1.2.0-beta+1.21.10 for 1.21.10. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so the project is open source. The first release came out on 2024-05-13 and the last update on 2025-10-20.
Key features
Spotify playback display
The HUD shows track information from the player's own Spotify account through the CustomHud display.
Personal Spotify app
Each player registers a developer app, sets a name and description, and enters the Redirect URI and Client ID in the config.
Higher polling rate
Because the quota belongs to each player's app, the mod can refresh playback data more frequently than a shared key would allow.

How it compares
AdaptiveHUD is a client-side mod for Fabric with a custom license, published for 1.20.3 – 1.21.10 and not open source. Spotify Hud runs on Fabric for 1.21.1 – 26.2 under the MIT License, and either side can run it, so it is open source and optional on clients and servers alike. Blockify is open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, works on Fabric and Quilt for 1.17 – 26.1.2, and does not require a personal Spotify app. Hudify needs its own Spotify app for each player, which is the step the others do not ask for.

What the author says
You'll need to create a Spotify developer app to use this mod. Why? In short, because it's easier for everyone. Since Spotify's API ratelimits are per app, not per user, if everyone has their own app, Hudify can poll the API much more frequently without worrying about hitting ratelimits. This allows Hudify to display…
