MidiPlayer

by zenkanay

MidiPlayer lets a Fabric client play MIDI files through the note blocks around the player, with no commands needed once a track is loaded.

What it does

Plays MIDI files through the note blocks surrounding the player, either automatically or in real time. Note blocks nearby are tuned by an auto-tuning routine so that the notes of a track land on the instruments of the game. The mod maps MIDI instrument categories onto the vanilla note block instruments, following a preferred order.

The mod is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11, so only the player's client needs it, and servers run without it. Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside it. Files are published for Fabric only, and the latest is 1.0.1, released on 2026-07-10. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the issue tracker and source code are public.

Key features

  1. Automatic MIDI playback

    Plays MIDI files through the surrounding note blocks without manual input after a track is chosen.

  2. Real-time playback

    A second mode plays the track live through the same note blocks, as an alternative to automatic playback.

  3. Note block auto-tuning

    Nearby note blocks are tuned automatically, so the notes of a track match the pitches they need.

  4. Configuration screen

    A vanilla-styled settings screen opens with the default key M, and its controls can be changed.
