Visual Jukebox
by tomalbrc
Visual Jukebox renders the disc in a jukebox on top of the block, so the record is visible while it plays.
What it does
The disc inside a jukebox appears above the block as a model. Two display styles are offered: a disc that rotates while the music plays, and a static disc that sits in the slot and slides in or out with an insert or eject animation. The mod runs on the server alone, and players join without installing anything. Fabric is the only loader with files, and the latest build, 1.2.0+26.3, targets 26.3 and was published on 2026-10-01.
Key features
Rotating disc display
The disc in a jukebox turns in place above the block while the record plays.
Static disc with animation
An alternative mode keeps the disc seated in the slot and plays an insert or eject animation when a disc is added or removed.
Server-side rendering
Only the server needs the mod, so visitors see the discs without any client installation.
