BlockTuner_Continue
by Lumine1909
BlockTuner_Continue is a Fabric utility that lets players tune note blocks and play them from a piano keyboard, MIDI device or computer keyboard.
What it does
The mod lets players adjust note blocks, and it adds a play mode in which a piano keyboard screen appears. In play mode, clicking a key on the on-screen keyboard sounds the note; a setting controls whether the screen closes right after a click. Right-clicking a note block with a blaze rod plays it, and holding Ctrl shows the note of the block under the crosshair.
Input can come from a MIDI device or from the computer keyboard. A MIDI device is chosen by clicking a control in the top-right corner, which cycles through the available input devices. A red icon means the selected device is unavailable, which usually means another program is using it. A separate toggle decides whether the computer keyboard plays the piano.
BlockTuner_Continue continues the BlockTunerMod project by xwjcool123. It requires Fabric API, runs on the Fabric loader for 26.2 and the other listed versions, and works on servers only when clients install it. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the project is open source.
