Nusic

by Kw0rk

Nusic is a Fabric music player that lets players play local audio files inside Minecraft, with a queue, playlists and an in-game GUI.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.11

What it does

Nusic plays local audio files directly inside the game. Tracks are imported into a custom music library, where they can be sorted and managed, and MP3 playback is included. A track queue controls what plays next, and playlists group tracks for longer listening sessions.

The player is operated through an in-game GUI with playback controls for play, pause, skip and volume. FFmpeg support is included for importing audio. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Minecraft 1.21.11, the only game version with files, as a client-side mod that servers do not need. Its code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. MP3 playback

    Local MP3 files can be played back inside the game without leaving Minecraft.

  2. Custom music library

    Imported tracks are kept in a library that the player can browse and organize.

  3. Track queue and playlists

    A queue sets the order of upcoming tracks, and playlists keep groups of tracks together for later listening.

  4. In-game player window

    A custom GUI holds the controls for playing, pausing and skipping tracks while the player stays in the world.

Who it’s for: Players who want to listen to their own audio files while playing single-player or on a server, since only the client needs the mod.
