Description from the author on Modrinth

Jukebox Playlists

Place a chest above a jukebox to use its music discs as a playlist.

This mod is a backport of the Jukebox Playlists feature from Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 4 to NeoForge 1.21.1.

How it works

  • Place a single Chest or Trapped Chest directly above a jukebox.
  • Discs play in slot order, skipping empty slots and items that aren't music discs, and loop back to the start.
  • When a disc finishes, the jukebox swaps it with the next disc in the chest.
  • If the chest has no music discs, the disc in the jukebox plays again.
  • Eject the current disc to skip to the next one.
  • Hover over a disc in the chest to see which one is Playing Next.

Double chests don't count as playlists, matching the snapshot's behavior.

Modded containers

Containers from other mods work automatically if their blocks are in the #c:chests or #c:barrels block tags, which most mods already use. No configuration is needed.

To support any other container, add its block to the jukeboxplaylists:playlist_containers block tag, for example from a datapack.

Notes

This is a backport of a snapshot feature, so behavior may differ slightly from the final vanilla release.
