PartyBox

PartyBox is a client-side Fabric mod for live, server-controlled music and audio streaming in Minecraft.

It connects your Minecraft client to an external PartyBox backend and lets players tune into up to 5 independent live audio channels. Each channel can play its own song or sound at the same time, and players can choose exactly what they want to hear.

⚠️ Private Access Notice PartyBox is currently intended for private events. Adding songs and controlling playback is restricted to approved users with access. DM @AllanStrat on Discord for access.

How It Works

PartyBox uses an external backend service to stream decoded PCM audio to Minecraft clients over WebSocket.

The backend plays .ogg files on one of five logical channels. For example:

partybox play judas.ogg 3

This plays judas.ogg on Channel 3 for players listening to that channel.

Player Controls

Players can:

Pick Channel 1–5
Change volume
Switch channels live
Enable or disable the actionbar player
Optionally hear all active channels at once

Admin and Token Access

Playback and uploads are protected by backend tokens.

Approved tokens can be limited by permission and channel. For example, one token may only be allowed to play songs on Channel 5, while an admin token can control all channels.

Supported Actions

Play a sound on a channel
Stop channel playback
Adjust channel volume
Upload .ogg files through the web dashboard (if permitted)

Web Dashboard

PartyBox includes a lightweight web dashboard for the backend.
