Net Music Display

An addon for Create that adds Net Music display sources to the Display Link, letting you show song name, play status, and lyrics on Display Boards / Nixie Tubes / Signs.

Point a Display Link at a Net Music CD Player and pick from 6 data sources — the song name, play status, original lyrics, translated lyrics, or combined multi-line views. Lyrics are fetched and cached server-side directly from the NetEase Cloud Music API, so no client-side data is needed.

Features

Source	Description
Song Name	The name of the currently playing disc
Play Status	Playing / Stopped
Original Lyrics	Current lyric line, synced to playback progress
Translated Lyrics	Current translated lyric line, synced to playback progress
All-in-One (multi-line)	Play status + song name + original lyrics + translated lyrics
Dual Lyrics (multi-line)	Original lyrics + translated lyrics stacked

Lyrics are fetched and cached server-side from the NetEase Cloud Music API — no client-side data required.

Technical Details

• Create's Display Link is a server-side block system — DisplaySource data collection runs on the server
• Net Music's lyrics are originally a client-only field that the server can't directly access
• This mod uses LyricCache to let the server call the NetEase Cloud Music lyrics API itself, fetching and caching lyrics asynchronously, then calculating the current lyric line from the CD player's playback progress (ticks)
• The Net Music API is identical across both versions (1.5.1); Create 6.0.x's DisplaySource API is unified between 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, so the source code is shared directly
