Dash’s Custom Music Discs Mod

Dash’s Custom Music Discs

Ever felt like the vanilla music discs just don’t hit the vibe of your base? Stop settling for Cat or Stal and start spinning your own tracks. Dash’s Custom Music Discs allows you to burn real-world .mp3 files onto blank discs and play them in any standard Jukebox.

✨ Features

• 🎼 Dynamic Audio Streaming: Powered by an isolated JLayer engine, your music streams directly without bloat or massive resource packs.
• 📡 Proximity-Based Sound: Just like vanilla discs! The music gets quieter as you walk away and fades out completely at 64 blocks. _CONFIGURABLE!_
• 🎚️ Smart Jukebox Logic: Discs behave exactly as they should. Breaking the jukebox, ejecting the disc, or even a hopper pulling the record will instantly stop the audio.
• 🖥️ Seamless GUI Burning: No commands, no config digging. Just right-click with the Disc Burner to open the interface and burn your favorite tunes.
• 🤝 Mod Compatibility: Designed to work alongside other music mods without interfering with their keybinds or global playlists.

🛠️ How to Use

1. Prepare your Track
Make sure you have a .mp3 file ready on your computer. (Currently strictly supports .mp3 for maximum stability).
