Dash's Custom Music Discs Mod
Dash's Custom Music Discs adds blank music discs that a player can burn with MP3 files and then play in a jukebox like vanilla records.
What it does
A player holds a blank music disc in the off-hand and right-clicks with the Disc Burner in the main hand to open the upload screen. After selecting an MP3 file and pressing Burn, a message confirms the disc is ready. Burning works through a graphical screen, so no commands are needed, and the disc can then be inserted into a jukebox.
The mod streams audio through an isolated JLayer engine instead of packing sounds into a resource pack, so large audio files do not inflate the game's assets. Sound fades with distance: it gets quieter as a player walks away and stops completely at 64 blocks. Breaking a jukebox, or a hopper pulling the disc out, ejects the record and stops the audio at once.
The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only and works on the client and the server, so both sides need it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. Public links exist for the source code, and the latest file is 1.0.6 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-06-05.
Key features
MP3 disc burning
Standard MP3 files can be burned onto blank discs through a dedicated screen, and the disc plays like a vanilla record.
Dynamic audio streaming
Tracks are streamed on demand, which keeps large audio collections out of the resource pack.
Proximity-based sound
Volume drops with distance from the jukebox and fades to silence at 64 blocks.
Jukebox handling
Breaking the jukebox or pulling the disc with a hopper stops playback immediately.

Use cases
Custom soundtracks for a base
Players can give a jukebox their own music, with a disc per track, for a build or a server hub.
Who it’s for: Players who want their own tracks in a jukebox, and server owners who want to offer custom music without a large resource pack.
How it compares
Custom Discs is an open source NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, which runs on the client and server like this mod. Melody Forge is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.8 under the MIT License, also on the client and server, and it is not open source. SoundPress is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License that runs on the client only, so a server does not need it.
