SVVideo
SVVideo plays videos, music, GIFs and other local media inside the game, and can show them on screens placed in the world.
What it does
Playback covers fullscreen video and music, along with screens that can be placed in the world. Display size is set by width and height, and a HUD shows the title, duration, progress and a thumbnail or logo. Media can come from the svvideo folder or from direct media URLs, and render quality can be set per display.
SVVideo is aimed at event organizers, roleplay servers, minigame lobbies, cinematic maps and in-game presentations. Operator commands give full control over playback, and the commands require operator permission level 2. Audio uses a distance-based system, so sound fades with the player's distance from a source.
The mod is published for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. It requires WATERMEDIA: Multimedia Binaries, WATERMeDIA: Multimedia API and WATERMeDIA: Youtube Extension. The code is public, but SVVideo is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
MC Musics is a Fabric mod for 1.21, client-side only and released under All rights reserved, so it covers music without the screens of SVVideo. Nusic is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11, client-side only, and is open source under the MIT License. MoeMusic works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.18.2 – 26.3, is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and works on either side, and neither needs it.
