PlayerMusic
by jhonii7
PlayerMusic lets players and server owners play audio from a URL, either for one player, for everyone on a server, or through a Radio Block placed in the world.
What it does
Playback is started from a URL with a command that targets a specific player or the whole server. The command plays only the audio; video is not shown in that mode. The mod is built on the WaterFrames API by SrRapero720, so video playback comes through WaterFrames focused playback and is not a separate feature of this mod. Players who join a server after a track has started hear it from the beginning, in step with everyone else. Players near a source can hear the music, and the sound is centered around that source so it feels placed in the space.
A Radio Block can be placed in the world to play music directly from the block. Its optional render can show a video above the block, and a progress indicator lets players see where the current track stands. A Tablet item is available on Forge. The mod is still in early development, and updates arrive gradually with new features, with more listed under planned features. Installation requires CreativeCore, WATERMeDIA: Multimedia API and WATERMeDIA: Youtube Extension. The Youtube Extension is listed as both required and optional in the dependency data, so it should be installed alongside the other two.
