Music Disc Maker

Paste a track link, insert a blank disc, and get a custom music disc that plays in a vanilla jukebox.

Minecraft only gives you a fixed set of music discs and no way to play your own music. This adds a crafting block: paste a URL (YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, or a direct stream), drop in a blank disc, and it makes a disc that streams that track from an ordinary jukebox, with the vanilla "Now Playing" overlay and positional audio.

Features

• Works with YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and direct stream URLs
• Spotify links resolve by song and artist, so you get the actual track instead of a video title
• The disc shows the track's cover art in its tooltip and in the maker's preview
• The tooltip shows the title, artist, and length
• Rename a disc on an anvil to whatever you want
• On a multiplayer server everyone hears it, including players who walk up mid-song, synced to the current position
• If a link can't be used, the maker tells you why (unavailable, geo-blocked, age-locked, offline, or unsupported) instead of a generic failure

Golden Jukebox

A jukebox crafted with gold that adds playback controls. Open it to set:

• Audible range from 16 to 256 blocks (a vanilla jukebox reaches about 64)
• Volume from 0 to 200%
• Repeat on or off
• Play and stop from the screen

Craft it by surrounding a vanilla jukebox with gold ingots.

Radio discs

Paste an internet radio stream (Icecast/SHOUTcast) or a YouTube live URL and you get a disc that never ends. It shows LIVE instead of a length and reconnects on its own if the stream drops. Twitch is not supported.

How to use

1. Craft a Blank Disc (lapis lazuli + iron) and a Music Disc Maker block. Both recipes show up in the recipe book.
2. Open the block, paste a track URL, and insert the Blank Disc. A Custom Music Disc appears in the output.
3. Put the disc in a vanilla jukebox, or a Golden Jukebox if you want range, volume, and repeat control.

Compatibility

• Additional Additions: drop custom discs into an Additional Additions album and they play their real audio.
• Sophisticated Backpacks: custom discs play from a backpack's jukebox upgrade.

Notes

• Audio is streamed from the source each time it plays. It isn't stored inside the disc, so it needs an internet connection. Some tracks may be region-locked or unavailable.
• Install it on the server and on every client. Audio plays client-side. No other mods required.

Free to use in any modpack. Source and issues: https://github.com/KURONAMI333/music-disc-maker
