im working on a mod which will allow radio beacons and radio chat channels
its been pretty difficult and i had to scrap some of the ideas and now am aiming for a hopefully more viable solution
im hoping to have some new elements to add into the game soon
hopefully maybe beacons by this weekend if i get some more solid dev time

Can you give us any additional information? How will the beacons work? Will it be some sort of specific structure that acts like an antenna? Would it be better to put it high up? Could you model it on, say, the spire on my tower?  |

the spire on your tower IS a radio  (4 radios actually) just need to add power and a sign but you shouldnt do it because radios act as beacons and it will lead people to the city |

now Intangir didn't you say they can be triangulated to reveal location, so before you bring it online have a plan so someone can't come right to our city

Maybe Diamond ones can have an option to not reveal the location or something.
Or if that seems too overpowered, maybe you would need like 4-16 diamond block base to have that option.

Hmmm..... So, could the radio work in a way that custom music is played when you enter a certain area? If I build a temple complex, I want to have a recording loop of the sounds at a real temple playing in the background...

no but you can probably rig redstone, a jukebox, and a record to do that already without any mods

Redstone to declare the specific area and how do you craft a record?
