URL Custom Discs

Updates

YouTube has started blocking audio downloads via yt-dlp by banning the server where the API is hosted.
To continue creating custom discs, two new options are now available:

• Use yt-dlp locally on your Minecraft server: Set localYtDlp: true in config.yml to enable this option.
  The plugin will automatically download and keep yt-dlp up to date.

  When using this method:

  • The audio will be downloaded as an .mp3 file to the audio_to_send folder.
  • Then, the audio is sent to the API server to be processed and added to your server resource pack.
  • A new command /customdisc update is now available to manually force an update of yt-dlp without restarting the server.

This method is unlikely to work on shared Minecraft hosting providers (like Shockbyte), as they often block external tool execution (like yt-dlp) or their IP ranges are already banned by YouTube (just like my API server currently is).

• Manually upload .mp3 files to the audio_to_send folder: You can now manually download your audio as .mp3 and place it in the audio_to_send folder.
  Make sure the file name is simple (no spaces or special characters).

  When creating a custom disc, instead of providing a URL, simply use the file name of your .mp3 (including the ".mp3" extension).

This method only works for Minecraft server admins, as it requires access to the server file system.

The README.md file has been updated with new instructions.

Warning

If you have already installed the plugin on your server and want to use this new version, please make sure to back up your token and downloadPackURL from config.yml.
Then, delete config.yml, install the new version of the plugin, start your Minecraft server so it regenerates the file, and paste your saved token and downloadPackURL back into it.
Your previously created discs will not be deleted!
