I Wanna Music
by adwadg
I Wanna Music brings NetEase Cloud Music playback into the game, with search, lyrics, playlists and shared listening on Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
Players search NetEase Cloud Music by keyword in English or Chinese and play tracks inside Minecraft through a custom audio player that streams the music directly. Lyrics display in real time, with an optional translation shown alongside. Players can create and manage their own playlists, adjust volume, pause, skip and repeat, and cache favorite songs for offline playback. A HUD shows the current song and its progress.
Music parties let friends listen together: the social features rely on server-side packet synchronization, so everyone in a party hears the same track at the same time. Only the client needs the mod to play music, while a server can add it for extra features. It is built with Java 17, decodes MP3 files and parses JSON, and saves its settings automatically so they load the next time the game starts. Files exist only for Forge 1.20.1, and the code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
