infinote
by rs256
Infinote lets a server play custom noteblock sounds with a wide pitch range, and it runs on the server side only.
What it does
Infinote handles the sound logic on the server, so the sounds and pitch shifts reach every player without a client mod. Custom sounds are mapped to specified blocks, and a mapping can be added or removed on the server. Pitch is set in semitones, and the mod can shift it well past the vanilla clamp, with volume also customizable. Because the server manages playback, the mod behaves the same in multiplayer as in single-player.
Sounds that are not part of vanilla Minecraft have to be supplied through a resource pack. A server-side resource pack lets clients hear the custom sounds without installing anything themselves. Settings can be imported from a NotebetterFabric-style JSON file and converted to the Infinote format with a single command, which eases migration from NotebetterFabric. Infinote requires Fabric API and is released under the MIT License, with its source code public. Files target 1.16 – 26.3, and the latest build is v1.6.0-mc26.3 for 26.3.

Use cases
Collaborative music servers
Groups building music together on a shared server can use the same custom sounds without each player installing a mod.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want custom noteblock sounds and pitches for players on a multiplayer server, and builders who share music instruments built from note blocks.
How it compares
Noteblock Heads is server-side only and runs on Fabric for 1.19.2 under a custom license, so it is not open source. TickSound is client-side only, released under the MIT License, and covers 1.20.3 – 26.2. Sound Sign is client-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, for 1.21.6 on Fabric and Quilt. Infinote differs from all three in running its sound logic on the server.
