Music Player
by calcilore
Music Player is a Fabric client mod that plays Minecraft music disks and random tracks through keyboard shortcuts.
What it does
Music Player plays the music disks that ship with the game. A short key press starts a random song, while two bracket keys control looping: one loops a single song, and the other loops randomized songs in a continuous rotation. Pressing B shows which track is currently playing, so a player can tell what is on without leaving the game view.
Only the client needs the mod, since it changes nothing on the server side. Players join a multiplayer server without installing it. The mod is built for Fabric and has one file, version 1.1, for 1.17.1. The code is open source and released under the MIT License, and the project's source code is publicly available.
Key features
Random song playback
Pressing C starts a random song from the game's music disks, so the soundtrack can change without menu navigation.
Single-song looping
The Left Bracket key loops one random song, repeating the same track until another key changes the playback.
Randomized rotation
The Right Bracket key loops random songs, moving to a new track in a shuffled order after each one ends.
Current song display
Pressing B shows the song that is playing, so the track title is visible at any moment.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Background soundtrack while building
A player who works on a build for hours can keep a shuffled set of tracks running without opening a music screen.
Listening to a single track on repeat
The single-song loop key holds one track in a repeating cycle, which suits a player who wants one song for a session.
Who it’s for: Players on Minecraft 1.17.1 with Fabric who want to control the game's music disks from the keyboard. Players of any version outside that range will need a different mod.
