Minecraft Tracks

Minecraft Tracks overview

• Client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.6 that lets you browse and play your own songs in-game.
• A folder named "Minecraft Tracks Song Placement" is created in your Minecraft directory; drop .ogg or .wav files there.
• Press Z anywhere on the client to open the Minecraft Tracks screen, or click the "Minecraft Tracks Settings" button on the main/options menu.

In-game controls

• Track browser lists every supported file from the placement folder; select one to interact with it.
• Buttons: Play Selected, Loop Selected, Favorite/Unfavorite, Pause/Resume, Stop, Play All, Shuffle Through (pick a random track), Shuffle & Play All, Play Favorites, Shuffle Favorites, Refresh Songs.
• Currently playing status shows at the bottom of the screen; favorites are highlighted with a gold tint in the list.

Behind the scenes

• Songs are decoded locally (OGG via STB Vorbis; WAV via Java Sound) and played on Minecraft's OpenAL context, so no extra packs or uploads are required.
• Favorites persist in the standard config folder, and the songs directory gets a small README with usage tips.
• A lightweight resource-pack folder named "Minecraft Tracks Resources" (with a generated icon/texture) is auto-created in your resourcepacks directory to keep assets together.

Notes and limitations

• Audio loading is synchronous; extremely large files may briefly hitch when starting playback.
• Supported formats are .ogg and .wav; other formats are ignored.
• Volume is tied to the master sound category; there is no per-track mixer or visualizer.
