Preset Note Block
by mark5667
Preset Note Block lets players place note blocks that already carry a chosen pitch, so a tune does not need to be set note by note.
What it does
Normally each note block has to be tuned by hand, one click per step, before a melody can be built. This Fabric mod adds a preset version of the block, so a builder can place blocks that already hold specific note values and assemble a song faster. Placing them quickly makes large-scale note block music builds practical for redstone engineers and creators.
The mod keeps the original Minecraft note block mechanics, so the blocks still sound and react to redstone as they do in vanilla. Its purpose is a smoother note block build process while the instrument itself stays unchanged. Installation needs Fabric Loader and Fabric API, and the files are for 1.21.11 only, released 2026-08-31. Preset Note Block runs on the client alone, so servers do not need to install it, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.
