JukeBoxPlus
by maxlananass
With JukeBoxPlus, a Spotify-style overlay shows the track playing in Minecraft, its artist, a live progress bar and the playback controls.
What it does
The overlay displays the track name, the artist, the source such as C418 or Lena Raine, the disc name, and the biome music that is playing. Elapsed and remaining time move in real time along a progress bar, and a play or pause indicator sits beside the title. Large album art shows the music disc texture.
A full music library can be browsed and searched. The HUD bar can sit at the top of the screen or at a configurable position, and the slim layout keeps it out of the way while building or exploring caves.
JukeBoxPlus runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it and players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 3.7.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source, though its source code is public.

What the author says
Thank you very much for Elfi for the project icon! It happens every session. You're building, exploring, caving — and Minecraft's music kicks in. That piano piece. That ambient hum. That track you've heard a thousand times over the past ten years but can never name.
