Welcome to Create: Harmonics

This mod lets you play music from URLs in Minecraft, to listen with your friends and enhance any kind of builds you make!

Everything is built to work with Create, so you have to use rotational power to make the music play, and make special records, named Ethereal Records.

Playback is also fully compatible with contraptions, so you can have moving speakers, on elevators, trains, or anything else you can think of!

Features

You can play music from URLs, this mod supports a lot of sources, including YouTube, YouTube Music, Soundcloud and many more.
For the Andesite Jukebox, playback pitch depends on the input rotation speed, half the maximum speed plays at normal pitch
For adding music from URLs, you must use a Record Press Base
When you craft an Ethereal Record, and no url is provided, it will play the music from the music disc you used to craft it
Display links can show the currently playing song
Jukebox supports loop mode when redstone powered
Mechanical arms know when they can extract a record (when a song finishes) and insert a new one, for automated music systems
Each music disc type has some special audio effects in it
Pitch on contraption depends on contraption speed
Audio is synchronized between players in multiplayer
Valkyrien skies support

Planned features

A lot more record types with unique audio effects
Programmable Ethereal Record, with custom audio effects
More directly supported platforms
Brass jukebox, with configurable pitch, range and record collections
Speakers and audio routing, for more controlled audio systems

How it works

This mod uses ytdlp for retrieving the stream link, then this link is sent to ffmpeg which handles the transcoding in PCM format and then the audio is sent after the processing chain to native minecraft channels

It should be compatible natively with other audio handling mods since its using Minecraft directly for playing sounds, and not accessing to OpenAL

NO AUDIO is being streamed server to client and never will; clients themselves stream the audio from the original source, as they're watching/playing it from their browsers.

Important notice

This mod relies on ffmpeg and ytdlp, and must be installed manually; a guide will show up when launching the mod telling you the correct folder for installing each of the libraries.

Without these libraries the mod will only be able to play minecraft (and modded) music discs.

Only TRUST the official releases of this mod! This is very important. You can contact me personally on discord if you have any doubts about the authenticity of a release.

Legal stuff
