About
Have you ever wondered what all the songs in Minecraft are actually called? Sure, you could check
the soundtrack to find out, but then you have to listen to every song, hoping it's the one you're
thinking of.
With this mod, wonder no more! A toast will pop up in the top right corner of your screen or just
above your hotbar (configurable), telling you what song you're about to listen to.

Custom Sprites
Now Playing supports changing which disc sprites are displayed for each background music track
via a resource pack. First, create a `now-playing` folder in the `assets` folder of your pack,
and place a `sprites.json` file in that folder, as shown below.
```
assets
├── minecraft
└── now-playing
└── sprites.json
```
Next, populate the `sprites.json` file with key-value pairs, where the key is the music resource
location (or part thereof), and the value is the sprite location, as shown below.
```json
{
"minecraft:music/game": "minecraft:textures/item/music_disc_cat",
"minecraft:music/game/creative": "minecraft:textures/item/music_disc_blocks",
"minecraft:music/game/creative/taswell": "minecraft:textures/item/music_disc_chirp",
"minecraft:music/game/nether": "minecraft:textures/item/music_disc_pigstep"
}
```
If you only specify part of a music resource location, the corresponding disc will be shown for
all music tracks in that location, except those that have a more specific definition. In the
example above:
- All tracks in the `game` folder will use the `cat` sprite, except;
- tracks in the `creative` folder, which will use the `blocks` sprite, except;
- the `taswell` track , which will use the `chirp` sprite
- tracks in the `nether` folder, which will use the `pigstep` sprite.
You can use any existing music disc sprite, or any sprite provided by a resourcepack.
Custom Music Track Titles
If you have a resource pack that adds custom background music, you can specify titles using a
translation file (e.g. `en_us.json`). First, create a `now-playing` folder in the `assets` folder
of your pack, create a `lang` folder inside, and place a translation file in that folder, as shown
below.
```
assets
├── minecraft
└── now-playing
└── lang
└── en_us.json
```
Next, populate the translation file with key-value pairs, where the key is the music resource
location, prefixed with `now-playing`, and the value is the translated title of the track, as
shown below.
```json
{
"now-playing.minecraft:music/game/a_familiar_room": "Aaron Cherof - A Familiar Room",
"now-playing.minecraft:music/game/an_ordinary_day": "Kumi Tanioka - An Ordinary Day",
"now-playing.minecraft:music/game/ancestry": "Lena Raine - Ancestry",
"now-playing.minecraft:music/game/clark": "C418 - Clark",
"now-playing.minecraft:music/game/creative/aria_math": "C418 - Aria Math"
}
```
Old translation files which use the `music.now-playing.[name]` format are still supported, but
have a lower priority than the new format.
