Slim
by wgwhwh
Slim adds a Spotify panel to the Fabric client, showing the playing track, album art and playback controls on the HUD.
What it does
The HUD panel displays the current track name and artist, the album art, and a progress bar with timestamps. Playback controls respond to a click on play or pause. Spotify keeps running in the background while the game is open, so music does not stop when the player leaves the panel alone.
Slim is a lightweight Fabric mod that runs on the client only, so players install it themselves and servers need nothing. It bundles three quality-of-life features: SwingSpeed, CustomFOV and SpotiPlay, which provides the built-in Spotify media support. Fabric API and Mod Menu are required and must be installed next to it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for 1.21.11 only, as version 1.0.0 on the beta channel.
