📻 Apium Radio - Next-Gen Streaming Radio for Minecraft

Apium Radio brings real internet radio streaming into Minecraft with a level of immersion and technical sophistication never seen before. Forget about simple "jukeboxes" — this is a fully simulated audio system with 3D sound, multi-speaker networks, and realistic physics.

✨ Key Features

🎵 True Streaming Audio

• Real-time MP3 Streaming: Listen to any internet radio station or MP3 stream directly in-game.
• Built-in Decoder: No external libraries or codecs required on the client side. It just works.
• High-Fidelity Audio Engine: Custom-built audio engine with 64KB buffering and per-sample volume interpolation for crystal clear sound without crackling or lag.

🔊 Advanced 3D Audio System

• Spatial Audio: Sound is accurately positioned in 3D space. Walk around the radio, and you'll hear the sound pan from left to right.
• Realistic Falloff: Volume fades naturally with distance.
• Occlusion: Walls and obstacles muffle the sound, just like in real life.
• Multi-Source Mixing: Connect multiple speakers, and the mod will intelligently mix the audio sources to create a seamless surround sound experience. No "jumping" sound when moving between speakers!

📡 Network & Speakers

• Expand Your Range: Connect Speakers to your Radio to extend the broadcast area to other rooms or even outside.
• Daisy-Chaining: Speakers act as cables! Chain them together to cover huge areas.
• Individual Control: Rename speakers and adjust their volume individually via a dedicated GUI. Create zones with different volume levels!
• Cables: Use Audio Cables to connect components neatly.

⚡ Realistic Mechanics

• Component System: The Radio isn't a magic block. You need to craft and install 3 essential components:
  • Magnetic Coil
  • Vacuum Tube
  • Crystal Resonator
• Antenna Requirement: You must place a Lightning Rod (or configured block) on top of the radio to receive a signal.
• Lightning Hazard: If lightning strikes your antenna, your radio might fry! Components can burn out, and connected speakers might overload. Protect your equipment!

🖥️ Modern UI

• Vanilla-Style GUI: Clean, intuitive interface that fits perfectly with the game's aesthetic.
• Tabs: Easily switch between Main controls and Speaker management.
• Status Indicators: Clear visual feedback on connection status, errors, and missing components.

🛠️ Installation

1. Install Minecraft Forge for 1.20.1.
2. Drop the apiumradio-x.x.x.jar into your mods folder.

🎮 Getting Started

1. Craft a Radio and place it down.
