Every new Etched music link waits for staff approval before it can go on a disc or a radio.

Description

Etched Gate

Staff approval for the music links players put on Etched discs and radios.

Etched lets anyone type a URL into an Etching Table or a Radio and play it to everyone nearby. Great with friends, risky on a public server. Etch Gate holds every new link until staff have looked at it.

How it works

  • A player enters a link. Instead of going through, it waits for review, and the player is told so.
  • Every online op gets the link in chat with clickable [Approve] and [Deny] buttons.
  • Approving a link approves it for everyone, so a popular song only gets reviewed once.
  • Ops skip the review. In singleplayer, so does the world's owner.
  • Each player can have up to 3 links waiting at once.

Denying takes it back

A denied link stops playing on discs that already exist, including copies and discs inside album covers. Block a whole website at once with /etchgate blockhost.

Commands (ops only)

Command What it does
/etchgate list Links waiting for review, with Approve/Deny buttons
/etchgate approve <id> / deny <id> Decide a request
/etchgate allow <url> / block <url> Approve or deny a link without a request
/etchgate forget <url> Take a link off both lists
/etchgate approved / denied Show the lists
/etchgate blockhost <site> / unblockhost <site> Block or unblock a whole website
/etchgate hosts Show blocked websites

Everything is saved with the world.

Good to know

  • Approvals are for the exact link. site.com/song and site.com/song/ are different links, so nobody can get one approved and then swap in the other.
  • An approval covers the link, not the file behind it. If a site changes the file later, deny the link or block the site.
  • Artist and title text on music labels isn't checked. Use a chat filter mod for that.
  • Players in creative mode can edit disc data directly, so only survival players are gated.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge
  • Etched 5.x
  • Only the server needs it; players joining don't. Works in singleplayer too.
