📖About System Music Notification Toast

🎵 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 Fabric mod 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 both Windows and Linux

Platform Support

Platform Method Requirements
Windows SMTC (System Media Transport Controls) None (built-in)
Linux MPRIS via D-Bus None (native) or playerctl (non-Flatpak)
Linux (Flatpak) MPRIS via D-Bus Permission grant (see below)

How to use

  1. Install the mod in your Fabric 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

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 BusTalk
  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.
