Tamarou’s Radio

Radios you can actually listen to: web radios, any song, your discs and speakers, in sync for everyone.

Radio

Real music in your Minecraft world.
Live web radios, any song you search for, your Minecraft discs… played from a radio block, heard by everyone around it, perfectly in sync.


📻 Two radios, one portable

  • Radio: a small wooden set with a speaker grille, a cream dial and two knobs.
  • Boombox: grey plastic, two big speakers, a cassette deck and a glowing green display.
  • Portable radio: carry the music with you, with every feature of the big ones.

Right-click a radio to open its screen. Each one has its own look, matching the block.

Two radios, two looks

🎵 Play any song

  • Type a song title or an artist, or paste a Spotify or Deezer link: track, album or playlist.
  • Results show the cover, artist, album and length.
  • Play now or add to the queue. The queue is shared: everyone sees who added what.

Play any song

👂 Everyone hears the same moment

  • Songs start for every player at exactly 0:00, together.
  • Click the progress bar to jump to any moment: the whole server jumps with you.
  • Previous, pause, next, repeat (all or one) and shuffle.
  • Two knobs: volume and range (how far the radio can be heard).
  • The sound comes from the block and fades with distance.
  • When a new song starts, its name shows up above your hotbar.

Everyone hears the same moment

🌍 Live radios from all over the world

  • Thousands of web radios, by country and genre (pop, rock, jazz, lofi, rap, electro, classical, news…).
  • Keep your favorites at the top of the list.
  • The song playing on air is shown live.

Live radios

💿 Your discs, ready to replay

  • Right-click a radio with a music disc to store it inside. It stays there: replay it whenever you want.
  • Left click: play now. Right click: add to the queue. Shift + click: take the disc back.
  • Breaking the radio drops its discs.
  • Minecraft's own music too: Overworld, Nether, End, Creative, Underwater and Menu.

Your discs

🔊 Fill the room with speakers

  • Right-click a radio while holding a speaker, then place the speaker anywhere (up to 64 blocks away). A whole stack can be linked at once.
  • Every speaker plays at the same time, in sync: walk up to one and it gets louder.
  • Speaker (wooden cabinet): same range as the radio.
  • Concert speaker (black flight case): twice the range.

Speakers

🎧 Take the music with you

  • The portable radio works like the big ones: search, live radios, discs and queue.
  • Headphones mode: only you hear it, even with the radio in your inventory.
  • Speaker mode: players around you hear it while you hold it.
  • To store a disc, hold it in your other hand and right-click.

⚙️ Settings

Player (Mods menu > Radio): hear radios or not, global radio volume, show song names, mute Minecraft music near a radio.

Server: turn song search or live radios on and off, choose who can place radios and who can change the music (everyone, owner and operators, or operators only), maximum range, songs per player in the queue.

ℹ️ Good to know

  • Required on both the client and the server. NeoForge 1.21.1.
  • Each player's game fetches the music itself: the server sends no audio, so it costs it no bandwidth.
  • Players need an internet connection to hear songs and web radios. Discs and Minecraft music work offline.
  • Song details (title, artist, cover) come from Deezer. The audio of searched songs is streamed from YouTube. Web radios come from the radio-browser.info directory.
  • Languages: English and French.
