MediaToast
by technicfan
MediaToast shows the media playing on the operating system in Minecraft's own music toast, using the vanilla toast feature.
What it does
MediaToast reads the current playing media through the operating system's media remote interface over MPRIS on D-Bus, and displays it as a music toast. By default the player selected as active is shown, and other players that are playing can be cycled through. The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, across 11 release versions under the MIT License, so it is open source.
The mod was originally based on MprisCustomHud, and its first aim was to learn how MPRIS works over D-Bus using dbus-java and mixins. The client-side only environment means that only the client needs it, and servers run without it. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Media info as a toast
The title and details of the playing media appear through the vanilla music toast, rather than a separate overlay.
Cycling between players
When several media players are active, the toast can be cycled through them, while the default player stays the one selected as active.
Toggle in sound settings
The option to enable music toasts sits in the vanilla sound settings, under the first place in the list, and tooltips explain each setting.
Flatpak sandbox access
A Flatpak build of Minecraft needs the MPRIS session bus name added through Flatseal before the media can be read.
