Together, Lunar Client and STYNGR are redefining how music and gaming come together.

What is STYNGR?

STYNGR collaborates with many major music labels and publishers to bring hundreds of artists and tracks to the gaming world.

How do I use Lunar FM?

Designed for effortless access, Lunar FM is the first fully-integrated radio available in any Minecraft client, and accessing it is extremely simple. When you open the Lunar Client Launcher, you’ll notice a brand new Lunar FM tab at the top right. Opening the tab will display the Lunar FM menu, where you’ll be able to select your radio station, upgrade to premium, and modify Lunar FM’s settings.

Press ≡ Select Station to see a variety of different available stations and choose a station. After selecting a station, exit out of the menu, and you’ll be able to see the track that is currently playing through the Lunar FM tab located at the top right of the Launcher. From the Lunar FM tab, you’ll now be able to skip and pause songs, stop the current radio station as well as change the volume. You can also also view the music that your friends are listening to by hovering over their name on your friends list inside the Lunar Client Launcher.

In-game, you can access Lunar FM via the Radio mod, which can be found by navigating to RShift > Mods > Radio. Enabling the mod will display a new Lunar FM module on your HUD, which displays the current song, its artist, and album cover. Unfortunately it is not possible to change radio stations directly in-game; instead, you’ll have to switch stations via the Lunar FM menu inside the Lunar Client Launcher.

With the new Radio mod, you can also set keybinds to play/pause, skip, and mute songs, allowing you to easily control your music from inside Minecraft. The Radio mod also has additional customization options, allowing you to modify the volume, the color of the HUD, the style of the HUD’s text, and much more.
