Disc Workshop
by Fozimus
Disc Workshop lets players craft music discs from audio hosted at a URL, so a jukebox can play sounds the game does not ship with.
What it does
Players paste a web address into the mod and receive a music disc that plays the linked audio through a jukebox. The discs are made at a crafting station, so no separate tool is required once the audio is cached. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the configuration screen.
Caching keeps tracks on disk so they do not need to be fetched again. A set of commands manages that cache: one reports the total size, another lists the stored files, a third clears them, and a reload command rereads the cache descriptions again. The mod is inspired by the VinURL and Plompi projects.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, with 1.1.1 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Discs from a URL
A disc is crafted from a web address, and the jukebox then plays the audio behind it.
Cache size report
A command shows the total size of the cached audio, so server owners can see how much space is in use.
Cache file listing
A command lists the cached files, making it possible to check which tracks are stored.
Cache clearing and reload
Commands clear the cache and reload the cache descriptions, without restarting the game.

Use cases
Custom soundtracks on a server
A server owner can add tracks to jukeboxes in a shared build, with the cache keeping them available to every player.
Map and adventure music
A map maker can craft discs with a chosen soundtrack for a custom area, then place them in jukeboxes.
Who it’s for: Server owners and map makers who want jukeboxes to play audio from web addresses. Players on a server that runs the mod need it installed as well.
How it compares
Music Disc Renderer is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and is open source under the MIT License for 1.20.1 – 1.21.4. Nitric's Music Discs is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.3 – 1.21.5. Disc Workshop needs both sides, targets 1.21.1 and 1.21.8 on Fabric, and is not open source.
