Music Identifier

by Beatzoid

Music Identifier shows the name of the background music that is playing in Minecraft, on a Fabric client.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.4

What it does

The mod reads the background music track that is currently playing and identifies it. The name can be displayed wherever the configuration places it, so a player hearing a track can see what it is without leaving the game. Playback can be started and stopped from the keyboard, using the Y key and Shift with Y.

Music Identifier runs on the client alone, so players install it on Fabric and servers need nothing extra. It requires Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings screen. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.19.4 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file, dated 2023-05-29.

Key features

  1. Track identification

    The background music that plays in the game is recognized and its name is shown to the player.

  2. Configurable display

    The G key toggles a now-playing display, and it appears in the screen position chosen in the settings.

  3. Keyboard playback control

    Pressing Y starts the song, while Shift with Y stops it, so the track can be controlled without menus.

  4. Settings through Mod Menu

    Mod Menu opens a configuration screen for the display options, and it is not needed to run the mod.
