Midi Player: Brass Edition
by jbm112081
Midi Player: Brass Edition is a Fabric client mod that plays MIDI files through noteblocks arranged as stages, with support for brass instruments added in 26.2.
What it does
The mod takes its playback engine from the SongPlayer mod by hhhzzzsss and extends it with support for brass instruments in 26.2. Songs are played by building noteblock stages in the world: a square stage holds up to 300 noteblocks, a cylindrical stage up to 360, and a densely packed spherical stage up to 400. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on the client alone, so servers need nothing installed.
Songs are stored in a songs folder and can be sorted into subdirectories, and symlinked directories are read as well. Commands complete with the Tab key, a prefix for SongPlayer commands can be set, and playback can be looped or shuffled. Playlists can be created, edited, deleted and played. A song queued while another plays is added to the queue, and the status command reports the song currently playing. Files are published for 26.1 and 26.2, and the 3.4.1 build for 26.2 is the latest, dated 2026-08-17. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is under the MIT License.
