🎵 System Music Notification Toast

Display your currently playing music as a Minecraft toast notification.

Important

This documentation is written with PrismLauncher in mind. Other launchers should work, but some commands (especially for Flatpak) may need adjustments for your specific launcher.

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 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.
