🎵 System Music Notification Toast

Display your currently playing music as a Minecraft toast notification.

What it does

System Music Notification Toast (SMN Toast) is a client-side mod for Fabric and NeoForge that detects music playing on your system and displays it as a toast notification in Minecraft. When a new track starts playing, you'll see a "Now Playing" toast showing the song title and artist name.

Features

• Automatic notifications — A toast appears whenever a new track starts playing
• Manual trigger — Configurable keybind to show the current track on demand (unbound by default)
• Clean design — Uses the vanilla Minecraft toast style
• Cross-platform — Works on Windows, Linux and macOS
• Multi-loader — Supports both Fabric and NeoForge

Platform Support

How to use

1. Install the mod in your Fabric or NeoForge mods folder
2. Start playing music in any compatible player
3. A toast will appear when a new track starts

To manually show the current track, bind a key in Options → Controls → Key Binds → System Music Notification Toast.

Compatible Players

• Windows: Spotify, Windows Media Player, browser media (Edge/Chrome), foobar2000, and any app using SMTC
• Linux: Spotify, VLC, Firefox, Chromium, and any MPRIS-compatible player
• macOS: Spotify, Music.app (Spotify has higher priority)

Flatpak Users (Linux)

If you're using a Flatpak launcher (like PrismLauncher), you need to grant permission for the mod to communicate with media players.

Run this command:

flatpak override --user org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher '--talk-name=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.*'

Or using Flatseal:

1. Open Flatseal and select your launcher (e.g., PrismLauncher)
2. Go to Session Bus → Talk
3. Add org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.*

Restart the launcher after applying the permission.

Note: This permission only allows communication with media players — it does not grant access to run commands on your host system.

macOS Permission

macOS will prompt you to allow Minecraft (or your launcher) to control Spotify and/or Music.app. Allow it to enable track detection.

If you denied it previously, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation and enable access for your launcher or Minecraft.
