Music to my Ears
by MayTid
Music to my Ears lets a player queue custom songs and control the in-game music from a chat command, without leaving the game.
What it does
Players can add songs to a queue by name or add the whole music library, then list, skip, remove or clear the queued tracks. Stopping the current song also empties the queue. Custom songs are read from a music folder inside the game's configuration directory, and a new file can be played right away.
The mod runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers do not need it. It depends on Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, in two game versions: 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.1.0 for 26.2 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Queue by song name
A chat command adds one song to the queue by its file name, and another adds every song at once.
Manage the queue
Queued songs can be listed, skipped to the next entry, removed by name or removed all at once.
Custom music folder
Songs placed in the mod's music folder inside the Minecraft configuration directory become available in game.
Play new files immediately
A newly added song file can be played without restarting, though a server rejoin or reopening the game may be needed for the library list to refresh.

Use cases
Background music while building
A player who works in creative mode can queue a playlist of personal tracks and keep the same songs running through a long session.
Listening to a custom library
Players with their own music collection can drop files into the folder and choose what plays without touching the vanilla music settings.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want their own songs in the game, and it needs no setup beyond placing files in the folder. Because it is client-side, it can be used on any server that does not block client mods.
