ExtendedNoteBlock
by atemukesu
ExtendedNoteBlock lets a note block play MIDI-style pitch, velocity, sustain, delay and fade settings, with editing tools for building music in the world.
What it does
Note blocks in ExtendedNoteBlock accept pitch values from 0 to 127 along with velocity, sustain, delay and fade control, which is a wider set of parameters than the vanilla block offers. Advanced Mode opens a visual editor for the volume and pitch envelope, and a mathematical expression can move the sound source along the x, y and z axes over time.
A Wireless Redstone system transmits a redstone signal across any distance through a transmitter and a receiver, so a note can be triggered without wires. The Conductor's Wand selects an area and applies batch edits to every note block inside it, and Smooth Motion commands let a player glide in a chosen direction. The mod runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API, which must be installed next to it. The client and server both run it, so the server and every player need it. Released under the MIT License, the source code is open source, and the mod is published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest file, 1.9.1-1.21.1, built for 1.21.1.
Key features
Extended note block parameters
Pitch from 0 to 127 is set alongside velocity, sustain, delay and fade, giving each block a fuller sound than the vanilla block.
Advanced envelope editing
Advanced Mode shows volume and pitch envelopes visually, so the shape of a note can be adjusted by eye.
Wireless signal transmission
A transmitter and receiver pair carries a redstone signal over a global range, triggering notes without connecting wires.
Area batch editing
The Conductor's Wand selects a region and applies one set of changes to every note block inside it.
