Question 1

How do I craft a Custom Record?

Accepted Answer

Craft a Custom Record using the recipe shown in your crafting menu—it combines common materials into a blank record. Once you have it, right-click the Custom Record in your hand to open a text box where you paste your music URL.

Question 2

What happens if FFmpeg or YoutubeDL isn't installed?

Accepted Answer

The mod will warn you and won't play audio from Custom Records until both are set up in config/disccord/. You can enable auto-install in the config to download them automatically, or install them manually following the setup guide.

Question 3

Can I use any YouTube link?

Accepted Answer

Yes, YouTube links work with DiscCord Mod as long as YoutubeDL is installed and the video contains audio. Some region-restricted or age-restricted videos may not work depending on your YoutubeDL configuration.

Question 4

Do Custom Records work on servers?

Accepted Answer

Custom Records are client-side only—the server sends a packet telling your client which URL to play, so you hear the music but other players won't unless they have the same Custom Record set up.

Question 5

How do I use a Discord CDN link in a Custom Record?

Accepted Answer

Paste the full Discord CDN URL (usually starts with cdn.discordapp.com) directly into the Custom Record text box, just like a YouTube link. Make sure the link points directly to an audio file, not a message or attachment page.

Question 6

Why is there no sound coming from my Custom Record in the Jukebox?

Accepted Answer

Check that FFmpeg and YoutubeDL are installed in config/disccord/, your URL is valid and points to an actual audio file, and your game volume isn't muted. Check the logs for error messages about the specific URL.

Question 7

Can I use Google Drive or Dropbox links?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both are supported—just make sure you use a direct download link (not a preview or sharing page) that points to an audio file format the mod can process.

Question 8

What audio formats does DiscCord Mod support?

Accepted Answer

The mod supports any format that FFmpeg can decode, which includes MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and most common audio codecs. The exact formats depend on your FFmpeg installation.

Question 9

Do I need to install DiscCord on the server?

Accepted Answer

No, DiscCord only needs to be installed on the client side. The server just needs to send the packet with the URL, so it doesn't require the mod to be installed server-side.

Question 10

Can I share Custom Records with other players?

Accepted Answer

You can give another player a Custom Record item, but they'll only hear audio if they have the same URL set in their copy and have FFmpeg/YoutubeDL installed. The record itself doesn't store the URL permanently—it's entered fresh each time you right-click it.
