Minecraft Players to Enjoy Official Radio Stations with New Mod
New Partnership Brings Music to Minecraft
Minecraft players will finally be able to listen to their favourite songs while playing, thanks to a new mod. As it stands, Minecraft players can either listen to the in-game soundtrack or play music outside of the crafting game. However, a new partnership between STYNGR, which licenses the music of major labels to video games, and popular mod Lunar Client is set to bring official radio stations to the world of Minecraft.
What Can Players Expect?
Exclusively with Lunar Client, players can choose from a series of regularly updated in-game radio stations and hear tracks from major labels. The service is currently live, and users simply have to purchase a Lunar FM Premium subscription to access all the radio stations with ad-free listening, unlimited skips, and an exclusive in-game headset cosmetic that displays music notes when equipped. Artists will also benefit from a revenue share on every subscription purchased within Lunar Client.
Radios Stations and Music
Radio stations include Rock Out!, Pop and R&B/Rap, while one inspired by the music of Netflix’s Arcane is also currently available. A complete playlist of tracks has yet to be confirmed, but the likes of Glass Animals, Taylor Swift, and Arctic Monkeys all feature.
Plans for the Future
There are plans for an ad-supported version which will allow all Minecraft players to use the service without a subscription. 2025 will also see the introduction of “group listening, opening up the potential for artists to host listening parties for new music releases in Minecraft through creator-made experiences.”
Quote from STYNGR Co-Founder
“We know the power that licensed music brings to a game,” said STYNGR co-founder Alex Tarrand. “It makes the user experience stronger and can materially move engagement and retention. Whether it’s the infectious soundtrack of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater or the atmospheric power in Fallout, licensed music elevates the gameplay experience. STYNGR’s exclusive partnership with Lunar is seamlessly bringing today’s top artists and major labels to Minecraft gamers.”
Conclusion
The new partnership between STYNGR and Lunar Client brings a fresh and exciting feature to the world of Minecraft. With official radio stations and licensed music, players will have a new way to enjoy their favourite songs while exploring the world of Minecraft. The ad-supported version and group listening feature will also provide more opportunities for players to engage with the game and its music.
