Supported Music Providers

Spotify API

Provides the complete feature set, including:

• Full playback information
• Artwork
• Shuffle and repeat status
• Playback controls
• Spotify Connect devices
• Five-song queue
• BPM information when available

Spotify API playback control may require Spotify Premium. Users without Premium can select the Windows Media option instead.

Windows Media Sessions

Works with:

• Spotify Free
• YouTube Music
• Apple Music
• SoundCloud
• Other compatible desktop or browser media players

Windows Media mode supports song information, artwork when provided by the application, timestamps, playback controls, seeking, and basic reactive volume.

The five-song queue is only available through Spotify API because Windows Media Sessions do not expose upcoming tracks.

Requirements

• Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11
• Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or newer
• Fabric API
• Mod Menu is recommended for easy access to settings
• Windows is required for Windows Media Session providers
