NowPlaying (last.fm)
by upsetsummer
NowPlaying shows the track a player is listening to on Last.fm, and it runs as a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.6 and 1.21.8.
What it does
Last.fm sends the track data to the Minecraft client through the website, so the mod reads the now-playing state from the account rather than from a local music app. The player sets a Last.fm nickname in the mod, and the track shown in game follows that account while it plays.
The mod works for a single player on a client, and it can also be installed on a server. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.6 and 1.21.8, with 2.0.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. The mod is listed under the All rights reserved license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Last.fm track display
The current track from a Last.fm account is passed to Minecraft through the website and shown in game.
Nickname setting
The Last.fm nickname is changed inside the mod, so the displayed account can be switched without editing files.
Local playback state
The track status is kept on the player's own side, so each player sees the account they configured.
Global console command
A console command can be run globally, which lets server operators act on the setting for all players.
