Pitch Perfect
by aaronhowser1
Pitch Perfect turns the Note Block into a set of 16 instruments, and the pitch it plays depends on where the player is looking.
What it does
Pitch Perfect replaces the single Note Block type with sixteen instruments, among them a Bass Drum, a Snare Drum, a Cow Bell, an Electric Piano, a Bit Player and a set of Drum Sticks. Right-clicking a block plays a note, and the pitch follows the angle of the player's view: looking straight up gives the highest note, looking straight down the lowest. The mod is built for Forge 1.16.5 and needs both the server and each player to run it.
Its use fits music-making builds, redstone songs and music events on multiplayer servers, where a shared set of instruments lets several players play together. The textures for the instruments were credited to TheTrueDurgerKing. Pitch Perfect is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Only Forge 1.16.5 has files, with the latest published as 1.0.2 on 2022-11-14.
Key features
Sixteen instruments
Sixteen instruments share the Note Block type, each with its own sound and appearance for building music.
Pitch by view angle
The angle of the player's view sets the pitch, from the lowest note when looking straight down to the highest when looking straight up.
Quick instrument switching
Each instrument is a separate block, so a player can place several at once to arrange a piece without crafting new items.
Redstone-friendly playing
Instruments respond to the same triggers as the vanilla Note Block, so redstone circuits can play a melody automatically.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases

Players on a multiplayer server can build shared instruments and perform together in one area.
Redstone songs
Builders can wire instruments to redstone clocks and sequencers to play songs without any player present.
Who it’s for: Players who want more instruments and builders who make music with note blocks on Forge 1.16.5. Both the server and every player need the mod installed.

What the author says
Right clicking will play a note, the pitch of which is dependent on the angle you're looking; if you're looking straight up, the note will be the highest pitch. If you're looking straight down, it will be the lowest pitch. Credit to TheTrueDurgerKing for the textures!
