Disc Jockey
by SemmieDev
With Disc Jockey, players can play songs made with Note Block Studio through the note blocks of Minecraft, and the mod is a client-side Fabric utility for 1.18 – 1.21.
What it does
Disc Jockey reads song files and plays them through the note blocks of Minecraft. Song files can be dragged and dropped into the song selection screen, and a song is started by choosing an action at the bottom of that screen. Songs made with Note Block Studio are supported, and a player can join a world while a song is playing.
The mod is built for Fabric only and needs nothing on the server, because only the client runs it. Cloth Config API is bundled inside the mod, so no separate install is needed for it. Mod Menu is an optional dependency that adds a configuration entry point when it is present. Files exist for 15 release versions, and the latest Fabric file, 1.7.0, targets 1.21 and was published on 2024-07-12. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Note block song playback
Songs made with Note Block Studio play through note blocks, so the music fits the vanilla sound of the game.
Song selection screen
A GUI lists the available song files and lets the player pick one before choosing what to do with it.
Drag and drop import
Song files can be dragged onto the selection screen to add them without moving files by hand.
Join world while playing
A song keeps playing when the player joins a world, so the music does not stop at the moment of joining.

Use cases
Music in a build
A player who has written a piece in Note Block Studio can hear it in the world without building the note blocks by hand.
Background tunes
Songs can be started from the selection screen during exploration or building, adding music without a resource pack.
Who it’s for: Players who want to hear their own Note Block Studio songs in the game, and builders who use note blocks for music in their worlds. The mod runs on the client only, so it is not needed on a server.
