Why would you like the mod added?

Lets the player make custom music discs to play in their world. Does require some setup and external programs (FFmpeg and YoutubeDL) but seems pretty cool

Both the tools required are very handy anyway, though I do wonder if they're server only or client and server

[Mrbysco]

Client and server. The mod adds a new item and sound event so both sides need the mod. The music is only downloaded client-side.

I meant the requirement for ffmpeg + yt-dlp, the mod itself would naturally have to be present on both. Good to know those tools are required on the client though.

A big question though - what happens if a user doesn't install these?

[Mrbysco]

The ffmpeg and youtubedl are only required client-side. They are only used the first time the record is played (for the player), the song will be downloaded locally and streamed ingame.

If the user doesn't install them it will only show a red message in chat stating that ffmpeg / youtubedl are missing and to check the log for instructions how to install

[Mrbysco]

This is only the initial stage of the mod, I plan to improve upon the system later. Just wanted the initial version live. If I can find libraries that can do the same thing I can potentially remove the need for ffmpeg or youtubedl (depending on which has a decent library that works cross-platform)
