About this Mod
A mod that aims on improving the music disc experience, rather than having to store in chest or item frame to forever be collecting dust, this allows you to showcase them AND use them to listen to music and keep them where you stored them all in a seamless flow.
Made for NeoForge 1.21.1
Features
Disc Displays
Includes Disc Racks, Disc Boxes, and Wall Mounts. [ Table not Included ]
- Store and display your music disc collection
- Displayed discs are dynamically color-sampled from their textures
- should work with modded music discs (item texture depended)
- supports custom Per Displayed Disc textures via resource pack (check template here )

Sound Box
- A jukebox controller block that connects to nearby Disc Displays.
- Browse connected music discs through a dedicated interface
- Play discs directly without manually swapping them,
Automatically returns discs to their original storage slot after playback - can Play Track, Skip Tracks even let it autoplay. (can set to exclude certain disc for autoplay, these disc can still be played manually)

Speaker
- Links to a Sound Box, extends the range of the played Audio

Audio Relay
- Links to a Sound Box, to have access to to soundbox on-the-go
- have access to a limited version of sound box UI (specifically not able to control the playlist sortation)
- able used as Item and Block (Shift Right-Click to Place)
- able to use without needing the Sound Box to be constantly loaded (it saves a snapshot of the playlist of the controller, but updates when the controller is loaded)

Usage
- Place a Sound Box next to a jukebox to get started.
- Crouch+ Right-Click the Sound Box with a Tuning Fork, then right-click any Disc Display.
- Content of Connected displays will appear in the Sound Box interface.
- The same linking process works with Speakers.
The Sound Box works by moving discs between connected display storage and the adjacent jukebox.
After playback:
- Discs are returned to their original slot whenever possible
- If the original slot is unavailable, another empty slot is used
- If no storage space is available, the disc is ejected from the jukebox as an item
Disc Displays can also be used as decoration on their own, without a Sound Box.
Technical Notes
- Music Disc detection is based on the JUKEBOX_PLAYABLE item component
- Disc/Cover Display Model uses TintIndex, same as Leather Armor, samples set various pixels in the Disc item texture (Higher-resolution textures should work, but this has not been tested)
- Multiplayer/server stability is still being tested, especially for networking-related features
- I didnt add any range limitations on Linking, theoretically it should work from any loaded chunk but suggest keep it within 64 blocks.
Planned
- [ added since 1.1.0, check resource pack template here ]
Disc Color System turn into fallback, support texture per displayed disc/cover - [ added since 1.3.1, Implemented Audio Relay Item ]
portable solution - more speaker variants
Compatibility
- Etched
- able to store disc in storage
- able to play from SoundBox and Audio Relay
- dedicated support for custom Display textures (check template here )
- only plays the 1st Track in Etched Disc
- Disc are assumed to be 5 minutes duration, used for Autoplay, it cant be pulled dynamically.
to keep inline with this mod core design focus,so no album support, as the whole point is to showcase the disc and play them individually (like vanilla). Etched already has a solution for album natively anyways.
- More Discs
- are supported as Vanilla Disc, All Features work natively.
