Soundtrack player
by pfyya
Soundtrack player adds an in-game music player for Minecraft's background tracks, playlists and custom audio files on Fabric.
What it does
The player offers play, pause and resume controls over more than 50 of Minecraft's own background music tracks, with a volume slider kept separate from the game's sound settings. Settings persist between sessions. Pressing M opens a full player screen with a searchable track list and a playlist manager, while a pause menu widget shows a mini player with a seek bar that can sit in any of four adjustable corners.
Playlists can be created and named, and tracks are added or removed by right-clicking. Shuffle plays through everything before repeating any duplicates, and loop modes cover off, loop all and loop one. The previous button restarts the current track once more than 3 seconds have passed. Custom tracks in MP3, OGG, WAV and FLAC format placed in a designated folder appear in the player automatically. The mod is a client mod, so only the player needs it; servers run without it. It is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source, and it targets 1.21 – 1.21.11 for Fabric only, with 3.0.12 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.

What the author says
Adds a proper music player to Minecraft. Playlists, shuffle, custom tracks. The mod works well but it's not perfect — there's probably bugs in there. If something breaks or behaves weirdly, report it in the Discord and I'll take a look. You can also grab the soundtrack manually from there if the first launch download…
