Melodify
by aqys
Melodify shows the Spotify track that is playing in a customizable HUD overlay, with synced lyrics for players who listen while they play.
What it does
The overlay displays the current Spotify track with its title, artist, album and artwork, plus a progress bar with timestamps. Basic playback controls for play and pause, next and previous sit beside it. Accent colors are taken from the album artwork automatically, and the HUD can be moved to a corner, scaled, given a different opacity and restyled through its progress bar settings.
Spotify access is set up by the user, who needs their own Spotify app credentials. Authentication follows Spotify's OAuth flow, and the credentials are stored locally. The mod only reads the current playback state and does not change anything on the account.
Melodify is for Fabric and works for the 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 range. It needs Fabric API and is client-side only, so no server installation is involved. The latest file is 1.1.3 for 1.21.9, and All rights reserved applies to the code, which is not open source.
Key features
Synced lyrics
Lyrics appear in sync with the playing track, shown directly in the in-game overlay.
Customizable HUD
The overlay can be moved to any corner, scaled and given its own opacity, so it stays out of the way.
Compact mode
A compact layout shows less information, and the HUD hides itself while menus are open.
Automatic accent colors
Colors are extracted from the album artwork and applied to the overlay without manual setup.

Use cases
Listening while playing
A player who keeps Spotify running can check the current song without alt-tabbing out of the game.
Streaming and recording
A compact or hidden overlay lets a player show the music while keeping the HUD subtle on screen.
Who it’s for: Players who use Spotify while they play on Fabric, and who are willing to set up their own Spotify app credentials before the first connection.
How it compares
MusicPlayerMod covers the same 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 range and is client-side only, but it is All rights reserved and not open source, and it is built around a music player rather than Spotify. Spotify-controls is client-side only on Fabric for 1.21 – 1.21.11 and is released under the MIT License. Slim is client-side only for 1.21.11 only and is also released under the MIT License.
