Sound-Track
by coolsa
Sound-Track adds minecart noteblocks and jukeboxes that play music when rails activate them, a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.17 – 1.19.3.
What it does
Two minecarts are added, each one matching a block with the same behaviour: a noteblock cart that plays its note when it passes an activator rail, and a jukebox cart that can be opened and loaded like a normal jukebox. Activator rails can start and stop the jukebox cart's playback, and detector rails read its comparator value, so redstone-style control works on carts as it does on the blocks.
The carts are meant for building music tracks and rail-driven contraptions in survival worlds and creative builds. Creative mode does not break them on a hit, the same as the vanilla blocks they mirror. Sound-Track is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It runs on Fabric with nine release versions in the supported range and v1.1.0 for 1.19.3 as the latest file, published on 2022-12-09.
The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The mod was first published on 2021-06-22.
Key features
Noteblock minecart
A minecart that carries a noteblock and plays its note when an activator rail triggers it.
Jukebox minecart
A minecart with a jukebox inventory that is opened and loaded the same way as the block.
Rail playback control
Activator rails start and stop playback in the jukebox minecart, so tracks can be timed by rail layout.
Comparator readout
Detector rails read the same comparator value from the jukebox minecart as from the block.
