What Are They Listening To (WATLT)

by nekohepott

What Are They Listening To lets players see the song another player is currently playing, pulled from their Last.fm account.

ForgeClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

Players link their Last.fm username the first time they join a world with the mod enabled, and the mod then reads the current track from that account. Other players can open the Tab menu to see what each linked player is listening to right now, including album covers where Last.fm provides them. Anyone without a Last.fm account can keep their listening private by turning tracking off in the settings.

The mod uses Last.fm to fetch the current song, so it works with any streaming app that pairs with the Last.fm scrobbler. The API needs a Last.fm key before the mod can reach it. The callback URL field can be left empty. Several simple commands are included for managing the link.

What Are They Listening To is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Tab menu listening view

    The Tab menu shows the track each linked player is currently listening to, without leaving the game.

  2. Album cover display

    Album covers from Last.fm are shown alongside the song title when the service provides them.

  3. Opt-out tracking

    Players without a Last.fm account, or who do not want to share, can disable tracking so their music stays hidden.

  4. Streaming app support

    Any app that feeds the Last.fm scrobbler is picked up, so players do not need a specific music service.

Use cases

Playing with friends

Groups on a shared server can see what each other is listening to while they play, which is the main reason the mod exists.

Who it’s for: Players who already use Last.fm and want their music visible to friends on the same server, and server owners who want a music-sharing feature in their world.

Questions

Does a player need a Last.fm account to join?

No. A player without a Last.fm account can still join and play, and can disable tracking so their music is not shown to others.

What is needed on the server side?

Either side can run the mod, and neither needs it, so it can sit on a server, on a client, or on both. A Last.fm key is still required for the API calls.

Which loader and versions does the mod support?

The mod is published for Forge only, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6. The latest Forge file is 1.1-forge for 1.20.6, released 2026-03-14.
