PlayerCTL Status
by alex-s168
PlayerCTL Status shows the song or video currently playing in a desktop media player on the Minecraft screen, for players who stream music or video while they play.
What it does
The mod reads the current track from playerctl, the command-line tool that controls media players on desktop systems, and displays the title of whatever is playing from sources such as YouTube, Spotify and Netflix. It runs on the Fabric loader and needs Fabric API, and its files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest release. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, so it is open source and its source code and issue tracker are public.
