Even More Instruments!
by StavWasPlayZ
Even More Instruments adds violins, guitars, keyboards, a trombone, a saxophone and several Asian instruments to the game, and it extends the Genshin Instruments mod.
What it does
The mod adds instruments played through the Genshin Instruments framework, so each one supports native MIDI. Among them are a trombone, a violin with long and short notes that cycle with the Right Alt key, a keyboard with a stand, a saxophone, a shamisen with bachi, and a pipa in regular and tremolo forms. All 16 note blocks can also be played as instruments.
A Looper repeats a recorded piece over and over and can carry background tracks, so one player does not need a second musician to hold a part. The /emirecord command exports and burns records that friends can share, and exported files are saved under the world's generated directory. Scattered records appear in worlds as well. Looper length is capped at 255 notes by default, and the evenmoreinstruments looperMaxNotes gamerule changes that limit. The mod is built for servers and is described as optimized to run on them.
