Description
MusicDisplay shows what you’re listening to on Spotify as a clean in-game HUD.
Customize the overlay, connect your own Spotify account, and control playback without leaving Hytale.

1:16 / 3:22) - Album cover — rounded cover art next to the track info (can be turned off)

- Spotify connection — connect your account in-game
- In-game settings panel — open with
/musicdisplay(or/msd) - Playback controls — play, pause, next, previous, volume (Spotify Premium required for playback control)
