Music Player Mod For Minecraft

by PascalVN

Music Player Mod For Minecraft puts a functional music player inside the game, with local files, direct URLs, playlists and a compact HUD.

NeoForgeClient or server, optionalMIT License1.21.1

What it does

The mod replaces the repetitive vanilla background music with a player that handles local audio and online sources. Local playback covers common audio containers and codecs, from mp3 and flac to video containers such as mp4 and mkv. Playback runs through an FFmpeg pipeline, and a direct audio URL or a public media-page URL can be pasted into the Player tab to start a temporary session and add the track to the queue.

The player keeps a persistent queue and playlists that can be edited without leaving the game, with track reordering and playlist import and export. Session caches keep recent metadata responsive, and a seeded local template artwork is used when a track has no usable thumbnail. A compact HUD and mini player sit over the interface, and gameplay audio ducking lowers the music during game sounds. The mod affects only its own playback and can reduce vanilla sound effects.

Music Player Mod For Minecraft is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It is published for NeoForge only, with the 1.0.0 file for 1.21.1 as its single game version. It requires Architectury API and UI Lib, and it is client or server optional: either side can run it, and neither needs it.

Key features

  1. Local and online playback

    Local files and direct URLs play through one player, with online search available alongside.

  2. Queue and playlists

    The queue and playlists persist between sessions, and tracks can be reordered in the game.

  3. Album art and metadata

    Track artwork and metadata are cached so recent results load quickly and stale provider data refreshes in the background.

  4. Compact HUD and mini player

    A mini player sits in the HUD while gameplay audio ducking keeps the music from covering game sounds.

  5. Controls in Minecraft options

    Key bindings for the player are changed in the Minecraft Options Controls screen.
