JukeboxPlayer
by kintil555
JukeboxPlayer lets players stream music from online sources or play local audio files through a jukebox, on single-player and multiplayer worlds alike.
What it does
Audio can be streamed from online sources or played from files stored on the player's own computer. Saved copies of tracks can be kept for playback without a connection. The mod works on singleplayer worlds and on servers, and the client-server interaction is built in, so songs can be shared across a multiplayer session.
The server must run JukeboxPlayer, while players may leave it out and still hear the music played through the server. The mod is open source under the MIT License and has files only for Fabric, for 1.21.11, with 0.1 as the latest file released on 2026-05-02.
Streaming needs an internet connection, and the mod requires one for those features. Players are responsible for the content they access and save.
Key features
Online audio streaming
Tracks are streamed from external online sources and played through the game's audio.

Optional offline saves
A track can be saved for later playback without a connection, if the player chooses to keep it.
Lightweight design
The mod is light in its requirements and simple to use, with a small set of controls for starting and stopping songs.

Atmosphere in singleplayer
A solo world gets a soundtrack of local files or streamed songs to set the mood of exploration.
Who it’s for: Players who want music in their worlds and server owners who want a shared jukebox for their community.
