PartyBox
PartyBox is a Minecraft mod for music, playlists, and live event audio. Create immersive moments with custom songs, synced announcements, and simple playback controls for servers, roleplay, minigames, concerts, lobbies, and more.
PartyBox
PartyBox is a client-side Fabric mod that enables live, server-controlled music and audio streaming in Minecraft.
It connects your Minecraft client to an external PartyBox backend, allowing players to tune into up to five independent live audio channels. Each channel can play different audio simultaneously, giving players full control over what they hear.
Private Access Notice
PartyBox is currently intended for private events. Adding songs and controlling playback is restricted to approved users.

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. Example:
partybox play judas.ogg 3
This plays judas.ogg on Channel 3 for players listening to that channel.
Player Controls
Players can:
- Select Channel 1–5
- Adjust volume
- Switch channels in real time
- Enable or disable the actionbar player
- Optionally hear all active channels simultaneously
Admin and Token Access
Playback and uploads are protected by backend tokens.
Tokens can be restricted by permissions and channel access. For example, a token may only allow playback on Channel 5, while an admin token can control all channels.
Supported Actions
- Play audio on a channel
- Stop channel playback
- Adjust channel volume
- Upload
.oggfiles via the web dashboard (if permitted)
