PartyBox

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.

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

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.
