Genshin Instruments

by StavWasPlayZ

Players who want Genshin Impact's instruments in a Minecraft world can add them through Genshin Instruments, which puts playable lyres, zithers, a horn and a drum into the game.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.01.18.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

The mod adds Windsong Lyre, Floral Zither, Vintage Lyre, Arataki's Great and Glorious Drum and Nightwind Horn as playable instruments. Each one can be tuned individually for pitch, and several sets of note labels are available, including keyboard labels that follow the layout and language of the player's keyboard. Stereo and normalization options apply to the lyre variants.

Genshin Instruments needs Fabric API on Fabric and Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge. Mod Menu is optional and only adds a settings entry for the mod. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license that does not permit open source redistribution for commercial use.

Two other mods, Even More Instruments! and sl3DZ Instruments, are built on this mod and require it to run. The author has retired the project, so no further updates are expected, although the source code and issue tracker remain public.

Key features

  1. Five playable instruments

    Windsong Lyre, Floral Zither, Vintage Lyre, Arataki's Great and Glorious Drum and Nightwind Horn can each be played from the in-game instrument screen.

  2. Custom pitch per instrument

    The pitch of each instrument can be adjusted separately, so one instrument can sit higher or lower than the others.

  3. Selectable note labels

    Several sets of note labels can be chosen, and the keyboard labels follow the player's language and keyboard layout.

  4. Shared instrument screens

    Several players can open the same instrument screen, so ensembles can play together on a server.

Questions

Yes on Fabric. Fabric API must be installed next to the mod. On Forge and NeoForge, Forge Config API Port is required instead.

Does the server need Genshin Instruments?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Is Genshin Instruments still updated?

The author has retired the project, so no further updates are expected. The latest files are for 1.21.1, dated 2025-04-13 for Forge and 2025-07-30 for NeoForge.
