Dead Air Mod extends the Apocalypse Structures and Walkie-Talkie mods with a working radio network. It turns standard radio towers into broadcast nodes and lets you tune in to different music stations using your hand-held radio. You can explore the world while listening to built-in stations or add your own custom music tracks. The signal strength changes based on your distance from the towers, adding a fun survival element to your adventures.

Dead Air Mod

Features:

  • Working Radio Stations: Towers broadcast different channels like Bedrock Radio, Jukebox FM, and Remix Radio across the map.
  • Signal Strength: The radio connection drops as you move further from a tower, losing signal completely after 375 blocks.
  • Realistic Interference: Weather, bad line-of-sight, and weak signals add static noise to the audio.
  • Station Discovery: You unlock new stations by walking near a tower with your radio turned on.
  • Tower Activation: Standard towers work instantly, while fenced and overrun towers require a right-click on the radio panel to turn on.
  • Custom Music: You can create your own stations by adding .ogg music files into the configuration folder.
  • Background Playback: Music continues to play as long as the radio is in your hand, hotbar, or inventory.
  • Location Ping: You can send your current coordinates and name directly to the game chat from the radio menu.
  • Music Expansions: The system supports extra music packs for different moods like combat, adventure, and chill out.

Commands:

  • /dead_air spawntower [x] [y] [z]: Generates a standard, fenced, or overrun active radio tower at your current location or specific coordinates.

How to Use:

  1. Hold a walkie-talkie in your hand.
  2. Press the N key or right-click to open the tuning menu.
  3. Move the slider on the retro dial to find a frequency between 88.0 and 108.0 MHz.
