Custom YT Songs on the Server Radio - samuelswauger - 09-02-2026

Hello everyone!

I'm rolling out an experimental feature for the server radio, which you can find here: 

https://sams.tj/radio
I'm testing a new method for adding YouTube links to the server resource pack. This is a complicated endeavor with a lot of moving parts, so please bare with me as we debug and test this feature out. Let me know if you encounter any problems or notice anything that needs tweaking, I'll be happy to fix it! This is something I've wanted to get working for a long time. Here's how it works:

  1. 1. Find a song you like and paste the link in this box in the image below. It must be <10 minutes long. [Image: paste-song-link-here.png]
2. Wait for the song to finish converting into a .ogg file and added to the server resource pack.

3. Success! Your song will be added to the queue. You'll see this message:

Please note that if you see the message below, I'm aware of this issue. I'm working to fix it, but I've spent hours on this today and I've chosen to address it at a later time - sorry for the inconvenience! If you get this pop-up while trying to submit a song, come back in a few hours and try again.

Server resource packs do not support dynamic updates, they require a server restart to work, and so unfortunately I cannot have songs added to the queue right away after someone adds a new one. The servers will restart at midnight Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) each night to ensure that songs added the previous day will be available as quickly as possible without disrupting gameplay for users by constantly restarting the server each time a song is added. 

Thanks
