plug.dj is a community-based music-playing website where participants can add friends and hang out with them while discovering new music. Participants can set up their own playlist of songs and DJ (play) them in front of a live audience.
While the site is not affiliated with Mineplex, the latter hosted an official music room for Mineplex players to meet. As of September 15th, 2018, the plug.dj wait list has been locked, due to the discontinuation of the Music Sharing Management (MSMT)/Music Moderation Teams (MMT), meaning no one can queue songs and thus no songs can be played.
Rules[]
As on Mineplex, plug.dj participants in the Music Room were required to follow several rules and guidelines in an effort to foster a friendly and enjoyable environment. Reasoning for each rule was provided by JTONPC, a former Moderator on the plug.dj Management Team.
| Rule | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| No songs longer than 6 minutes | "We do this to make sure that everyone has a shot of DJing and so that the booth isn't clogged up!" |
| Do not repeat songs recently played | "We'd like to keep different songs going so the room doesn't get boring!" |
| Only electronic dance music (EDM) | "We are trying to stick to the genre that most users seem to prefer to prevent the room getting hectic." |
| No cursing or racism | "We want to make sure that our room is friendly for all ages to enjoy!" |
| No inappropriate videos | "Again, we want to allow a friendly experience for all." |
| No trolling | "We don't want 10 hours of lololol songs or chat trolling!" |
| No spamming | "This makes it much easier for users to communicate." |
| No advertising | "This goes for advertising plug.dj rooms and other Minecraft servers." |
plug.dj Management Team[]
Prior to the shutdown, the plug.dj Management Team (a subsection of the Moderator team) helped enforce the aforementioned rules and coordinated events within the room. Members of this team received the Bouncer rank.
Higher up, the plug.dj Management Administration Team oversaw all of the activities in the room. Members included A3R, Connor4898, Bradez1571, and JTONPC, with former Admin Dctr_ at the head.
Frequently asked questions[]
Once again, responses have been provided by JTONPC.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| What is the MineplexBot? | "The MineplexBot is a bot run by a script which supervises the room. The Bot is able to automatically skip songs that are too long or place people back into the queue after they disconnect and respond to commands such as !dc and !eta. The Bot doesn't moderate the room, we have staff to do that."
|
| What can I do if I disconnect? | "If you reconnect, the bot is likely to recognize that you were a previous position and therefore move you back. Additionally, if the bot didn't recognize that you disconnected by accident, you can try doing !dc. If you leave the room on purpose and do not return quickly, your spot in the queue will not be for you."
|
| How do I get a plug.dj rank? | "Ranks in the plug.dj room are based a hierarchy that they have created at the team. Helpers/Moderators+ receive a Resident DJ rank, plug.dj Management members receive a Bouncer rank and a group of dedicated plug.dj Management members and Administrators are Managers in our plug.dj room. Therefore, as a regular user, the only way to gain a rank on plug.dj is to be accepted as staff on Mineplex by having a rank and submitting an application here: http://www.mineplex.com/application." |
| How can I continue to woot songs without continuously returning to the browser for each song? | "There are multiple scripts which can be run in your browser to automatically woot, such as plugX and PlugCubed. When activated, a preset option is to enable auto-woot, selecting yes will allow you to woot without actively being there." |
| How can I make my character dance? | "In order for your character to dance you can woot the song, that will make your character dance. Secondly, when playing a song, your character will dance with its back to you while on the booth." |
| How do I join a wait list? | "You're able to join the queue as indicated in the bottom left hand corner button that says 'Join.' If the queue is full, it will state that it is full and you cannot enter. You could keep trying to manually join the queue after a song ends, but you could also use a script like PlugX and PlugCubed to ensure you're able to join the queue automatically." |
| How do I create a playlist? | "The large bar at the bottom is a menu of all playlists. Click on it and then go to the 'Create' button in the bottom left-hand side and choose a name for the playlist." |
| How do I level up? | "To level up, there's a certain amount of experience required. With each level, the higher the requirement and ultimately more time is spent on plug.dj." |
| How do I gain experience? | "Experience is gained through wooting songs and receiving woots on a song you play, one point at a time." |
