VinylCraft
by DoomzDay
VinylCraft is a Fabric music player that plays MP3, OGG and WAV files from inside Minecraft, with playlists and an album art display.
What it does
Players place their own music files in the .minecraft/music folder, then open the player with the P key. Tracks can be arranged into playlists inside the game, and the player supports shuffle and repeat modes. A smooth volume slider and a HUD with an album art display complete the interface, so the music can be managed without leaving the game.
Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings from the menu list. Because the mod is client-side only, a server needs nothing and a multiplayer player can use it alone. Files are published for Fabric across 10 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, and the code is covered by All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Own audio files
MP3, OGG and WAV files stored in the music folder play directly, with no conversion step.
In-game playlists
Playlists are created and edited inside the player, so tracks can be grouped without external software.
Shuffle and repeat
Playback can be shuffled or set to repeat, switched from the player window while music plays.
Album art HUD
A heads-up display shows album art for the current track, and the player window includes a smooth volume slider.
