Sonic Bridge Link Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do Bedrock players need to install anything to hear custom music?
No. Bedrock players automatically download the resource pack when they join the server (if the pack is in your Geyser packs/ folder), and the plugin handles audio bridging without any client-side setup on their end.
What audio formats do custom discs support?
The mod accepts standard music files in your plugins/CustomJukebox/sounds/ folder; the pack generator converts them into a format Bedrock can play. Check your BS-CustomJukebox documentation for the specific formats it supports.
Can Java players hear the same custom music as Bedrock players?
Yes, but Java players hear it through BS-CustomJukebox's normal system, while Bedrock players receive it through the Sonic Bridge Link plugin—both groups hear the same disc when placed in a jukebox, just through different delivery methods.
Do I need to restart the server every time I add a new custom disc?
Yes, you must run /cjb-bedrock generate and restart the server so Bedrock players can download the updated resource pack; the guide 'Add New Custom Discs Without Restarting' covers workarounds for faster updates.
What happens if Geyser or Floodgate isn't installed?
The plugin logs a warning message instead of crashing, and Bedrock compatibility features won't work—but Java Edition continues to function normally with zero impact.
Why can't Bedrock players hear music after I generated the pack?
Check that the .mcpack file is in your Geyser packs/ folder and the server was restarted; if audio still fails, see the 'Troubleshoot Missing Audio on Bedrock' guide and verify /cjb-bedrock status shows all dependencies connected.
Can console players (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch) use this mod?
Yes, any Bedrock Edition player joining through Geyser—including console users on cross-play servers—can hear custom music and see disc textures.
Does this mod slow down my server?
No, the plugin has zero performance impact on Java Edition and uses Geyser's existing systems for Bedrock, so there's no noticeable overhead.
How do I give players permission to use Bedrock commands?
Grant the customjukebox.bedrock.admin permission; server operators have it by default, and you can assign it to other players through your permissions plugin.
Can I use custom disc textures without custom audio?
Yes, Bedrock players will see the custom disc texture in their hands and inventories even if the audio is from a standard jukebox disc—the plugin handles visuals and sound independently.
