About this project
What does Dynamic Island add?
Dynamic Island
Bring the Dynamic Island to Minecraft. A clean little island sits at the top of your screen showing the time, a signal icon, and whatever you're listening to on Spotify or Apple Music.
Features
- Live clock and signal icon at the top of the screen, just like a phone's status bar
- Now playing on Spotify or Apple Music: a popup shows the song's album cover, its name, and animated music bars
- Pops open on a new song: the pill smoothly grows into a "now playing" card with the cover, song and artist, then shrinks back
- Synced lyrics: Apple Music style lyrics for the song you're playing, with each word lighting up as it's sung, smooth scrolling and soft blur on the other lines. Bind Toggle Lyrics and Move Lyrics under Key Binds → Dynamic Island to show them and place the box anywhere on screen
- Real album covers: taken from Windows itself (the same picture as the volume pop-up), so it's always the right one, never a guess
- Always readable: the time and signal icon switch between black and white depending on what's behind them (sky, caves, night, water...)
- Smooth, sharp rendering: anti-aliased rounded shapes and crisp text at any GUI scale
- Toggle with a key: bind it under Options → Controls → Key Binds → Dynamic Island. Your choice is remembered between launches
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.11
- Fabric Loader and Fabric API
- For the music part: Windows and the Spotify desktop app or the Apple Music app
- Spotify: ensure "Show Desktop Overlay When Using Media Keys" Setting is on in Spotify. (Under Display settings)
- Apple Music: nothing to set up, it works straight away
On other systems, or with Spotify and Apple Music closed, the island just shows the time and signal icon.
