Noteblock Decrementer

by Mark_Snicket

Noteblock Decrementer is a Fabric utility that lowers the tone of note blocks when a player shift-clicks them with the operator item.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

The mod adds an operator item. Holding it and clicking a note block lowers that block's tone by one step, which was requested by a player who wanted a way to step tones down. A plain click on a note block without shift still raises the tone, so normal play keeps working as before. The item takes priority over normal item usage on a block when it is held and used.

Key features

  1. Operator item

    A new item steps a note block's tone down by one each time it is used on the block.

  2. Shift-click behavior

    Shift-clicking a note block with the item lowers its tone, while a plain click still raises it.

  3. Priority over item use

    When the item is used on a block, the tone change takes precedence over the block's normal item interaction.
