Simple Music Player
by BOMBASTIC11
Simple Music Player is a Fabric client mod that plays YouTube, SoundCloud and direct audio URLs through in-game music commands.
What it does
Tracks are queued with music commands in chat, and several can wait in the queue at once. When a track finishes, the next one in the queue starts without any input from the player. Pause, resume, skip and stop controls cover playback, and the volume can be set anywhere from 0 to 150 percent.
While a track plays, the playing display shows its title, artist and duration. Music is heard through the player's own speakers, and chat receives a message when a connection error occurs, such as an internet drop. The mod runs in single-player, on servers, in multiplayer and on Realms, because only the client handles playback.
Fabric API is required and must sit next to the mod. Files exist for Fabric only, across 16 release versions, 1.21 – 26.2. The latest file is 1.1.3 for 26.2, published on 2026-08-05, and the mod was first published on 2026-04-13. It is all rights reserved and is not open source.
