MineTube
MineTube plays YouTube audio as background music in a Minecraft world, with music zones that switch tracks by location.
What it does
Music zones are defined in the MineTube web dashboard, which opens from a clickable link sent in chat after the mod is installed and the game is launched. Each zone takes a custom name, a position, a radius and a chosen song, so a player entering the area hears that track instead of the default background music. A zone can use a stable volume or a volume that changes with the player's distance from the zone's centre.
Player position is tracked in real time through an integrated web server that the mod sets up itself, so no separate program or outside service is needed. The mod supports the Nether, the End and modded dimensions, and it works in single-player and multiplayer games, with most vanilla servers running the Fabric build. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players join without installing anything on the server side. MineTube is released under the Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the latest build for 1.20.1 is dated 2026-09-17 for Fabric.
