musical instruments
Musical instruments adds guitars, trumpets, cymbals and drums to Minecraft Java Edition for Forge 1.20.1, along with a Musician villager profession.
What it does
Four instrument items join the game: a guitar, a trumpet, cymbals and a drum. Each one is a usable item, and the mod also adds instrument blocks to place in the world. Musician is a villager profession, so instruments can be obtained through trading with those villagers, which adds a new trade path to the existing economy.
The mod is meant to give players more content, with the instruments serving as a new kind of item alongside the weapons already in the game. It runs on Forge 1.20.1 only, and both the server and every player need it, because the instruments and the profession are registered on both sides. The latest Forge file is version 1.0.2, published on 2026-03-20, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
