The Boombox Mod adds a fully functional boombox that can play live radio stations directly in your Minecraft world. This standalone and updated version of the Ad Astra Radio block brings music to your adventures. Whether you're mining deep underground, building your dream base, or just relaxing with friends, the boombox lets you tune into various radio channels and enjoy your favorite tunes.
The boombox is a portable music player that can be placed anywhere. Right-click on it to open a list of available radio channels. Each channel streams live internet radio, bringing real-world music and talk shows into your Minecraft experience. The mod supports multiple radio stations out of the box, and you can easily add your own custom stations through the configuration file.
🎵 Radio Channels System — Right-click the boombox to reveal a comprehensive list of radio channels. Simply click on any channel to tune in and start listening. The boombox will remember your last selected channel and auto-resume when you log back in. Each channel displays its name and genre, making it easy to find the perfect soundtrack for your current activity.
⭐ Favorite Channels — Hold the Shift key while clicking a channel to favorite it. Favorited channels are automatically moved to the top of the channel list for quick access. This makes it easy to keep your go-to stations front and center. You can favorite as many channels as you want, and they will stay at the top until you unfavorite them (by Shift-clicking again).
The boombox is perfect for multiplayer servers where players want to share music or create immersive environments. Place it in your base, at your shop, or at community gathering spots to set the mood. The sound is spatial, meaning the music gets louder as you approach the boombox and fades as you walk away — just like a real radio. Multiple boomboxes can play different channels simultaneously, creating unique soundscapes across your world.
🎛️ Customization & Configuration — The mod includes a simple configuration file where you can add your own radio station URLs. Want to listen to your favorite local station or a specific online stream? Just add the stream URL to the config, and it will appear in the channel list. The boombox supports most common streaming formats including MP3, AAC, and OGG streams.
This mod is a standalone and fully updated version of the Ad Astra Radio block, bringing the same great functionality without requiring the full Ad Astra mod. It's perfect for players who just want a simple, fun way to add music to their Minecraft world. The boombox can be crafted using iron ingots, a jukebox, and redstone components — making it accessible in both early and late-game survival.
📻 Perfect For: — Building cinematic scenes, creating atmosphere in adventure maps, hosting server events with background music, relaxing while mining or building, and adding personality to your base. The boombox also works great with other audio mods and shader packs for the ultimate immersive experience.
