Overview

The HackerPhone is a rugged, cyberpunk-styled portable music player. It stores up to nine jukebox-compatible music discs inside a single item and plays them back anywhere, without needing a placed jukebox. The GUI uses a dark charcoal background with neon-green text and framing, and a live audio visualizer animates both inside the menu and as a small HUD overlay while music is playing.

How To Use

Opening the GUI

• Right-click while the HackerPhone is in your hand.
• Press ' (apostrophe) at any time while the HackerPhone is anywhere in your main inventory (slots 1–36).

Inserting Discs

• From your inventory: Hold a music disc on your cursor, then right-click the HackerPhone in your inventory. The disc drops into the first empty slot automatically.
• From inside the GUI: Right-click an empty disc slot while holding a disc on your cursor to place it there.

Removing Discs

• Inside the GUI, right-click a filled disc slot with an empty cursor. The disc is moved to the first available space in your player inventory. If your inventory is full, a message warns you.

Reordering Tracks

• Drag disc rows inside the GUI to rearrange playback order.

Transport Controls

Click any track row to select it as the active slot and begin playing it immediately.

Volume

Use the neon-green volume slider in the GUI to adjust loudness. Changes apply to the currently playing disc in real time. Volume is saved per-item and synced to the server.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Playlist looping: After the last occupied slot finishes, playback automatically advances back to the first occupied slot and continues.
• Numeric advancement: Tracks play in slot-number order, skipping empty slots.
• Per-item volume: Each HackerPhone remembers its own volume setting, persisted in item data.
• HUD Visualizer: While music is playing and the GUI is closed, a compact waveform visualizer appears in the top-left corner of the screen. It disappears when playback stops.
• In-GUI Visualizer: An animated sound visualizer is rendered inside the menu while a disc is playing.
• Reverse playback: A reverse transport state is supported; playback can be set to play in reverse pitch/direction where the audio driver allows it.
• Loop toggle: Loop mode can be toggled; when disabled, playback stops after the last track rather than looping.

Progression And Strategy

• Collect as many different music discs as you like — the HackerPhone holds up to 9 at once, letting you carry a full personal playlist without filling chest space.
• Build a playlist in a specific order by inserting discs slot by slot or dragging to reorder inside the GUI.
• Adjust volume on the fly mid-adventure without opening a jukebox or placing anything in the world.
• The apostrophe shortcut means you never need to switch your held item just to control music — keep your tool in hand and manage playback instantly.
• Multiple HackerPhones can hold different themed playlists (combat, exploration, building) — swap between them in your hotbar as needed.
