Swidget's Song Player
Players who want to listen to Minecraft's soundtrack while playing can use Swidget's Song Player, a Fabric client mod that adds an in-game music player.
What it does
The player opens the Minecraft Options menu to reach a simple GUI where several Minecraft original soundtrack tracks are listed. Selecting a track switches the music without typing commands or using external music software. The design is kept light, so the screen adds little to the game's load.
The mod targets 1.21.11 only and runs on Fabric. Only the client needs it, so players join servers without installing anything. Swidget's Song Player is published by SwidgetScripts under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author describes it as intended for entertainment and customization, and it does not change multiplayer mechanics.
Key features
In-game music player
A GUI screen lets players pick between the available soundtrack tracks while the game is running.
Options menu access
The player window is reached from the standard Minecraft Options menu, so no key binding or command is needed.
Track switching in the player
Changing between songs happens inside the player, with the new track taking over the current music.
Multiple soundtrack tracks
Several Minecraft OST tracks are included, so players can choose the mood for survival, building or exploration.
