<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Music Maker Mod adds music sheets, instruments and other devices to the game for creating and playing music. Check the video below to see how it works.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z-khO8YSXTc?wmode=transparent" width="638" height="358" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Music Maker Mod is designed to work efficiently and properly in multiplayer. You can play music with friends without worrying about server lag ruining the rhythm like with note block creations.</p> <p>Bring your favourite music to Minecraft or create your own masterpiece. Set free your heart and become the musician you aspire to be!</p> <p>If you are interested in making paintings as well, check <a href="https://modrinth.com/mod/joy-of-painting" rel="nofollow">Joy of Painting</a>, another one of my mods.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Note about Forge/Neoforge after 1.21:</strong></p> <p>Starting with Minecraft 1.21, there is only on version (for&nbsp;Fabric), and you can use it&nbsp;on Neoforge with <a href="https://modrinth.com/mod/connector" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sinytra connector</a> and <a href="https://modrinth.com/mod/forgified-fabric-api" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Forgified fabric api</a>. The other forge won't be supported. I will try my best to make the mod work with Sinytra connector.</p> <hr><hr> <h2>The Huge Update (1.16.5-2.0+)</h2> <p><img src="https://i.ibb.co/yq0JHbZ/sheet-exp.png" alt="A music sheet screenshot from the Big Update" width="700" height="440"></p> <p><strong>This update improves basically everything about the mod! Here is a quick look through the changes:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Overhauled the music sheet GUI. Now it is a horizontal, scrolling sheet.</li> <li>You can now create <strong>MUCH longer</strong> music sheets. The upper limit is long enough to fit basically any music in a single sheet.</li> <li><strong>Note length</strong> is customizable! You can drag the mouse to set the length of each note.</li> <li>Multiple notes can be put at the same beat, and notes of different lengths can <strong>overlap</strong> in any way possible!</li> <li>TWICE the number of octaves. So, we are up from 4 to <strong>8 octaves</strong>. Note that not every instrument is suitable for every octave.</li> <li>Music sheets have a <strong>volume</strong> setting now.</li> <li>Each individual note also has a <strong>volume</strong> that can be set.</li> <li>Much more<strong> granular Tempo options</strong>, with an upper limit of 3000 BPM!</li> <li><strong>4</strong> <strong>new instruments</strong>: Redstone Guitar, Bass Guitar, Oboe and French Horn</li> <li>Advanced instrument playing GUI: You can now press <strong>multiple notes together</strong>, and <strong>releasing a key stops the note</strong>.</li> <li>Support for <strong>MIDI device input</strong> in the instrument GUI! Just connect your device and right click an instrument as normal.</li> <li>With 1.17.1-2.2, you can also use your MIDI device in the music sheet GUI as well! You can even record with it!</li> <li>The new record button in 1.17.1-2.2 allows you to<strong> record music in real time</strong> with your keyboard or a MIDI device.</li> <li>Middle clicking a note in the sheet GUI lets you view its <strong>real life notation</strong> name and edit it.</li> <li>Customizable <strong>measure lines</strong> in the music sheet GUI, for visual aid.</li> <li><strong>CTRL+Z to undo</strong> in the sheet GUI.</li> <li>A <strong>help button</strong> in the sheet GUI that explains the controls and keyboard shortcuts.</li> <li>Storage and network for the music sheets are handled more smartly now, consuming <strong>less resources</strong> than before, regardless of the length of a music.</li> <li>Loading an old world will <strong>automatically update</strong> all old music sheets to the new format on load. This is <strong>irreversible, </strong>so backup your world if you might want to play in an older version of the mod.</li> <li>Old copied musics can still be pasted in the new version (but not vice versa).</li> <li>Old exported sheet files can be imported in the new version (but not vice versa).</li> </ul> <p><span style="color: #f00;"><strong>Note: </strong></span>If updating from an older version, I suggest you backup your world (or at least just the music sheets) before updating, in case there is a problem with the update process.</p> <hr><hr> <h2>&nbsp;</h2> <h2>Features (before the huge update)</h2> <ul> <li>&nbsp;Music sheets that let you create music</li> <li>&nbsp;Sounds follow the chromatic scale with 12 notes per octave and&nbsp;4 octaves for a total of 48 notes</li> <li>&nbsp;11 different tempo settings from 60 BPM to 1200 BPM</li> <li>&nbsp;Writing music with the mouse or the keyboard, whichever you find comfortable</li> <li>&nbsp;Convenient keyboard functionality such as space, delete, backspace</li> <li>&nbsp;Selecting, copying and pasting notes. CTRL + A, CTRL + C, CTRL + V shortcuts work.</li> <li>&nbsp;Copying between different sheets and even outside Minecraft. You can copy them to a text file to back up or paste in another world/server.</li> <li>&nbsp;Putting up to 5 sheets in the hotbar to see and preview multiple layers of music at the same time when editing. Neighboring sheets can easily be disabled with a button that appears.</li> <li>&nbsp;Previewing sheets with an instrument in the off hand. You can also lock the instrument per sheet to only preview with that instrument even when your off hand item changes. This can be used to mark which instrument a sheet is supposed to be played with and is also useful with neighboring sheets previews.</li> <li>&nbsp;13 craftable instruments and 1 instrument that can be found in certain treasures.</li> <li>&nbsp;Using an instrument by itself plays a random note.</li> <li>&nbsp;Using an instrument while holding a sheet with your offhand plays the sheet to the world.</li> <li>&nbsp;Music boxes take in a sheet and an instrument. They start (or stop if playing already) playing when they take in a redstone signal that goes from off to on.</li> <li>&nbsp;Music boxes also send a one second redstone pulse to their right face when they finish playing. This can be used to chain songs or activate piece of a contraption.</li> <li>&nbsp;Metronomes supply a steady ticking when the redstone signal is on. The ticking rate can be set with a right click or using a music sheet on the metronome.</li> <li>&nbsp;After four tickings of a metronome, all nearby players that hold a music sheet with the correct tempo and an instrument will start playing synchronously. Use this to play songs together with your band.</li> <li>&nbsp;Keyboard usage is as shown:</li> </ul> <p><img src="https://i.ibb.co/VvVz169/music-mod-keyboard.png" alt="Keyboard Bindings" width="480" height="188">&nbsp;</p> <h2>Crafting Recipes</h2> <h4><img src="https://media.forgecdn.net/attachments/description/341448/description_b115993d-3b30-44d4-81e1-133bb0ca418a.png"></h4> <h4>Credits</h4> <p>&nbsp;Credits to <strong>LuchadorMickey</strong> for most of the graphics.</p> <p>&nbsp;Credits to <strong>inuyasha01</strong> for the Chinese translation.</p> <p>&nbsp;Credits to <strong>Greyberet</strong> for the Spanish translation.</p> <p>&nbsp;Credits to <strong>Ste B </strong>for the Italian translation.</p> <p>&nbsp;Credits to <strong>whiteevilbro</strong> for the Russian translation.</p> <p>&nbsp;Credits to <strong>Szpieg2000</strong> for the Polish translation.</p> <p>&nbsp;Credits to <a href="https://github.com/SamKMadden" rel="nofollow"><strong>SamKMadden</strong> </a>for the Japanese, Swedish and Icelandic translations.</p> <p>&nbsp;Credits to <strong>FoxMcloud5655</strong> for back-porting changes to 1.16.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Community</h4> <p>There is a <a href="https://discord.gg/kAXdzKGXtW" rel="nofollow">Discord server</a> now, where you can share your creations with the world!</p> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div>
