by itsaschoolbus

MinecraftMPRIS shows the media playing on the computer inside Minecraft, with an overlay that also lets players control playback from the game.

What it does

The mod reads playback information from any player that exposes the MPRIS interface, such as Spotify or mpv, and draws the current track as an overlay during play. The overlay can show metadata like title and artist, and the mod supports controls so playback can be changed without leaving the game. Some media players report only partial metadata, so the displayed details depend on what each player provides. Browsers can be handled through Plasma Browser Integration, which the author recommends for media playing in web pages.

The mod is a client-side utility with no server component, so it runs on singleplayer and multiplayer clients alone. Its settings are built with YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), which must be installed alongside it on Fabric. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.11, and the latest Fabric build for 1.21.11 was published on 2026-01-19. The code is open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
