Hachimitsu MIDI Player for MC is a Fabric game mechanics mod by Zel9278 that plays MIDI files through in-game note blocks.

FabricClient required, server optionalMIT License1.21.4 – 26.2

What it does

The mod turns MIDI playback into an in-game feature, with an extended note block that sounds the notes of a file. Its author describes the project as still in development, with many glitches still present, and the current focus is piano, drums and a bunch of sounds from a sound pack. Only the client needs it, so players join a server without installing anything extra, and the server may skip it. It requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and is published for Fabric for 1.21.4 and 26.2 under the MIT License, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. MIDI playback

  2. Extended note block

    A note block variant that can play a wider set of pitches than the vanilla block.

  3. Piano, drums and sound packs

    The current build concentrates on piano and drum sounds taken from a bundled sound pack.

What the author says

This is still in development so there will be many glitches! ...for now it only has piano and drums (it's a pain to put a bunch of sounds into a sound pack).
