MPRIS Player

by Patoll

MPRIS Player lets Minecraft control media playback from in-game commands, with the player that is running on the Linux desktop.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.8

What it does

Commands send playback instructions to media players that expose the MPRIS interface, which covers apps such as YouTube Music and Spotify when they run on the same Linux machine. Because it depends on MPRIS, the mod works only on Linux. It is built for Fabric 1.21.8 and requires Fabric API. Only the client needs it, so players install it while server owners can leave it out.

Key features

  1. Media control commands

    Commands let a player pause, resume and skip tracks without leaving the game screen.

  2. Desktop player support

    Any player that exposes the MPRIS interface on Linux can be controlled from Minecraft.

  3. Music apps inside the game

    Playback in YouTube Music or Spotify running on the desktop can be driven by typed commands.
