Music Player
by Zioxs
Music Player is a Fabric client mod that puts a music player inside the game, with a library of tracks, playback controls and an on-screen display.
What it does
Players browse the vanilla ambient tracks and music discs from an in-game library, then build playlists, favorite discs and skip ambient tracks they do not want. Playback controls cover play, pause, skip forward and backward, shuffle, set tracks and repeat. The volume slider syncs with Minecraft's native music volume, so no separate level has to be set.
The player opens with the M key, which can be rebound in the controls menu. A settings menu lets players turn the HUD overlay on or off and disable vanilla music delays. The overlay sits in the bottom right corner and shows the track name, artist and playback progress live. Slide-in toast alerts appear whenever a new track starts.
The mod is client-side only, so servers and other players need nothing installed. It requires Fabric API and is published as a single file for 1.21.11, released under the MIT License. The source code is public.
Key features
Library management
Tracks from the vanilla ambient and music disc sets are browsable in one list, with favorites and skip choices kept per track.
Playback controls
Play, pause, skip forward and backward, shuffle, track selection and repeat are all available from the player window.
Bottom-right HUD overlay
A small overlay shows the current track name, artist and live playback progress, and it can be disabled in settings.
Toast notifications
Slide-in alerts appear each time a new track starts, so the change is visible without opening the player.
