MusicCraft
by aresinhoo
MusicCraft lets players control Spotify playback from inside Minecraft, so a song can be searched, paused or skipped without leaving the game.
What it does
Once the Spotify account is linked, the in-game commands send playback requests directly to Spotify, and Spotify plays the audio on the player's own device. Players can search their library, start a track instantly, pause, resume where playback stopped, skip, add a track to the queue or play one next, and check what is currently playing. Music is played by the Spotify app, not by Minecraft, so the sound comes from the phone or desktop that runs Spotify, positioned as in-game audio.
The account is linked once, through a login page hosted by Spotify, and MusicCraft never sees or stores the password. Spotify Premium is required, along with a Spotify app open on a device, and Fabric API must be installed beside the mod. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. It is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.11 dated 2026-07-24.
