Jukebox GUI
by armaninyow
Jukebox GUI replaces the plain jukebox block screen with a dedicated window for loading discs, starting playback and reading the timer.
What it does
Right-clicking a jukebox while holding nothing opens the JukeboxGUI screen, which shows an interactive view of the vanilla disc slot. A music disc dragged into that slot starts playback, and the same slot is used to eject it. The vanilla right-click insert and eject still works when the screen is closed.
The screen shows the loaded disc's title and artist, a digital timer with elapsed time and total duration in MM:SS format, and pause and resume controls. Playback keeps going after the window is closed, and reopening it shows the updated elapsed time. The mod is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and is built for Fabric Loader with Fabric API handling its dependencies on the client and server. The latest Fabric file, 4.2.0, targets 26.2, and builds are published for 16 release versions.
Key features
Jukebox management screen
An interactive window replaces the block's inventory view and shows the disc slot for inserting and ejecting discs.
Drag-to-play disc slot
Dragging a music disc into the slot starts playback without a separate button press.
Digital elapsed timer
A timer counts elapsed time against the total song length, and the display turns from rainbow colors to black when playback stops.
Eleven visual themes
Eleven themes give the screen different looks, each with its own style for the playback controls.

Use cases
Music rooms on a server
Server owners running a shared listening space can let players load discs through the screen instead of the vanilla right-click method.
Who it’s for: Players who run jukeboxes as decoration or as a music source in builds, and server owners who want a visible playback state on every jukebox.
