Simple LabyMod Addon for playing I Love Music in Minecraft.
The CI build needs a few flags depending on the laby mod version we are building for. The settings for 1.12 are used by default.
The addon uses JavaZoom's JavaLayer for playing music. This was an explicit design decision over
Javas JMF, as JMF has a high start latency and would require additional libraries as the
inbuilt mpeg support was removed. Additionally it was even older than JavaLayer
JavaLayer is a library by JavaZoom for decoding and playing mpeg sound. It has some downsides:
- Volume Management is ugly and has to be done in the gui extension
- It's required to be in classpath as an external library
As BasicPlayer uses a version of slf4j that is incompatiblt with the one used in the minecraft client
and as BasicPlayer needed some adjustments anyways the source was directly included in com.ilovemusic.labymod.player.
Due to some heavy version gaps in 1.8 I was forced to use moshi instead of Gson as a retrofit converter. I also considered jackson but dropped it due to the commons signature and meta entry difficulties as long as some weird missing classes.
