VehicleRadioAddon
by perusi
VehicleRadioAddon lets players install a radio in a vehicle from MrCrayfish's Vehicle Mod and control it through a dedicated in-vehicle panel.
What it does
A radio is fitted to an individual vehicle with a Radio Module, and a Radio Remote opens a control screen while the player sits inside. From that panel the radio can be switched on or off, tuned to a station and moved between tracks. Sound comes from the vehicle's position, so it shifts as the vehicle drives, and playback is heard only by the player seated in it.
Track choice goes beyond the vanilla discs. Players type a registered sound name in the modid:sound form to pick custom sounds, and modded music-disc sound events can be played as well. The addon requires MrCrayfish's Vehicle Mod to be installed, and it is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.16.5. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Per-vehicle radio install
A Radio Module fits a radio into a single vehicle, so only the vehicles that carry one play music.
In-vehicle control screen
A Radio Remote opens a GUI where the radio is powered, tuned and advanced through its tracks.
Positional sound
The audio follows the vehicle's location while it moves, and only the seated player hears it.
Custom and modded sounds
Registered sound names and modded music-disc sound events can be selected alongside vanilla discs.
