Automatic Jukebox (change to 26.4 Snapshot 4 Jukebox Functionality)

Hello,

 

Would like to propose an alternative to the implementation of automatic jukeboxes (chest on top of jukebox) as done in Snapshot 4 of version 26.4.

I think a more elegant solution could be to add a new jukebox that works like a chest; you can open it, it has slots, and you can place music discs in an order inside.

This way you can have both the regular 1 disc jukebox, still place chests on top, and not interfere with the functionality.

The reason for this is simple: decoration. Some people like being able to see the top of the block instead of a chest. What's more, it would be cool to see the currently playing disc spinning in the top slot as a texture (similar to the stonecutter saw?) so you can just see what's playing. Would add a lot of flavor.

That  way you can keep feeding jukeboxes from the sides as you can right now, not break currently existing contraptions that rely on the current functionality, and add a new cool block to the game.

Recipe could involve the jukebox, redstone, and maybe glass/wood for the disc case. Front side could even work like a chiseled bookshelf, showing the discs as they are inside.

 

Thanks!

  Could be nice too that a constant redstone signal can stop the music, while a pulse of redstone can switch the music

  Another idea: specific redstone signal input locks the jukebox into playing a specific slot / disc. Therefore allowing you to swap discs on the fly (kinda like a playlist's "next" button).

  Add combinations that allow for Shuffle, Sequential, Repeat (one). No signal stops the music altogether (even mid-play).
