Proximity Radio Client
by wertPL
Proximity Radio Client is a companion mod for servers that run the Proximity Radio plugin, keeping radio music in step with the server's playback.
What it does
Once the client is in place, radio tracks follow the server's live position, so a player who joins a song midway hears it at the same point as everyone else. Seeking to another part of a song, pausing, resuming and stopping all respond at once, and changing tracks or reconnecting to a server restores the correct playback position.
The client refines radio playback while leaving the way radios are set up and managed on the server untouched. Audio fetched for a server is cleared automatically after the player leaves it. The server side must run Proximity Radio itself; this mod only adds the client part.
Proximity Radio Client is published for Fabric only, across 9 release versions, 1.21.7 – 26.2, and its files are released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Players who do not install the client still hear radios through the generated Minecraft resource pack, and installing it stays optional unless a server owner decides otherwise.
Key features
Synchronized playback
Music follows the radio's current position, so tracks stay in step with the rest of the server.
Responsive controls
Seeking, pausing, resuming and stopping tracks respond without delay on the player's side.
Positional radio audio
Radio sound is distance-based and directional, changing as the player turns or moves away from a radio.
Automatic music cleanup
Fetched music is removed after the player leaves the server, so no stale audio stays behind.

How it compares
Vanilla+ Radio is a Fabric mod for 1.21.4 – 26.2 that needs both the client and server, and it is not open source under All rights reserved. Sculk Radio is server-side only, open source under the Apache License 2.0, and published for 1.21.9 – 26.3, so clients need nothing. Jukebox GUI covers 1.21 – 26.2 on client and server and is open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, with a different focus on a jukebox interface.
