personal audio player
by brodude7
Personal audio player is a Fabric storage item that carries music discs and plays them wherever the player stands, without a jukebox.
What it does
The portable music player holds up to 28 discs in its inventory and plays them from anywhere in the world. Both vanilla music discs and custom discs from the AudioPlayer mod are accepted, so a single device covers the whole collection. Playback is controlled directly from the item, with play and pause, a live display of the current and total track time, and random shuffle-style ordering.
Players can switch between private headphones mode, where only they hear the track, and public speaker mode, where nearby players hear it too. With auto-play enabled, the next disc in the player starts once the current one finishes, so music continues without manual input. The mod requires AudioPlayer, Fabric API and Simple Voice Chat, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across 11 release versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License; the project is not open source.
