Create: Whimsy Wheels
Create: Whimsy Wheels is a Create addon that turns rotational power into music through brass noteblocks, kinetic sculk sensors and related blocks.
What it does
The addon adds seven blocks tied to kinetics and sound. A Brass Noteblock plays a note whose pitch follows the rotation speed fed into it, and its volume can be set with a scrollable panel on the outer faces of the block. The Noteblock Encased Cogwheel, Brass Noteblock Encased Shaft and Kinetic Sculk Sensor extend that behavior: the sculk sensor detects vibrations, which lets moving Create contraptions such as trains and spinning bearings stay safe to run.
Power moves through the mod in several ways. A shaft carries rotation in a straight line along its axis, and an encased cogwheel allows perpendicular connections with gear ratio changes. Installing Create is required, and Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional. Create: Whimsy Wheels is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its files cover 1.20 – 1.21.1 on Forge and NeoForge, and both sides need it.
Key features
Wireless kinetic links
A brass noteblock transmits rotational power to an identical block up to 4 blocks away on the same axis.
Pitch from rotation speed
The noteblock plays notes whose pitch is set by the speed of the input rotation.
Volume and stress readout
Viewed with Engineer's Goggles, a block shows kinetic stress, speed, note frequency and volume percentage.
Vibration-safe contraptions
The Kinetic Sculk Sensor detects vibrations so moving contraptions like trains and spinning bearings can run safely.
