Construct note block songs in a user-friendly interface! Convert MIDI files into note block music! Import your creations into your Minecraft world!
- The Note Block is a block that can produce single music notes when hit or powered by redstone. The type of sound produced is dependent on the block immediately below the note block itself.Right clicking it changes the pitch by one semitone, yet activating it with redstone won't change the pitch. Note blocks can be smelted, smelting 1.5 items per note block (but wasting.
Song Maker, an experiment in Chrome Music Lab, is a simple way for anyone to make and share a song.

Minecraft Music - Note Block
Note blocks play a note when hit or when powered by redstone. Redstone current only causes the note to play once, even if it is a continuous current. A note block must have at least one block of air above it to play a sound. Notes can be heard up to 48 blocks away.
Each time a note block plays a note, a note particle will fly out of the top, with the color depending on the pitch (but not the instrument).
Right clicking increases the note pitch up a half step, with a total of two full octaves being available to play. The range of notes span from F#3 to F#5. After reaching the highest note, right clicking again resets it back to F#3, as does breaking the block and picking it back up. The exact pitch to click assignment is shown below.
Wiring
In order to wire Note Blocks to play a note, power must be applied to the side of the Note Block using Redstone Dust and a Switch or Redstone Torch, or to the bottom using a redstone torch directly. Simply placing a switch or pressure plate on an adjacent block or providing power to the block beneath the Note Block will not work.
Chords with Note Blocks
If want to get a richer tone in the song/sound you're creating you can bind different notes together into a chord, just like on any other kind of instrument. This will not only get a better sound to the song, it will also be simpler to place the Redstone. You can connect as many Note Blocks as you need to the same redstone wire, that eventually will lead to a pressure plate, lever or button.
Sequencer
It is possible to link together a set of inverters, connected to note blocks, which are then played after each other when the first inverter is given power. This can be used to create songs, without having to manually give power to every note (through pressure plates for example). See also Redstone circuits.
Pressure Plates - Removing the click
Stepping on a Pressure Plate is a simple way to trigger a note block, but also triggers the pressure plate sound effect. People can remove the pressing/clicking sound by modifying the Plate's sound file in the Minecraft folder.
1) Replace the press with silence, via the aid of sound editing software such as Audacity.
2) Set the file as read only, thus preventing Minecraft from re-downloading the sound file.
This enables a screen recording of the created song without having the pressure plate sound messing up their recording.
Uses
The Note Block's original intentions are to play notes for music. This is a great use for Note Blocks, however, there can be other uses that are as fun to use and give you a great opportunity to improvise the original intent of the Note Block. You can use Note Blocks to...
- Create music.
- Make doorbells - for example, you can connect a pressure plate or button next to your front door wired to a Note Block and it can be used as a door bell.
- Come up with pranks, such as modifying the Note Block to be constantly playing notes and hide it underground to irritate a player.
- Effectively design an emergency alarm. Like a doorbell, you can place multiple pressure plates outside your creation and wire them to your home so if something goes near your house you will be alarmed.
- Make subway chimes - When a minecart reaches the end of the track, make note blocks play (similar to a real life subway)MrJangles: how did you find us?

Required Materials to make a Note Block
In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a note block:
How to craft a Note Block in Survival Mode
1. Open the Crafting Menu
First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make a Note Block
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a note block, place 8 wood planks and 1 redstone in the 3x3 crafting grid.
When crafting with wood planks, you can use any kind of wood planks, such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, crimson, or warped planks. In our example, we are using oak wood planks.
When making a note block, it is important that the wood planks and redstone are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 wood planks. In the second row, there should be 1 wood plank in the first box, 1 redstone in the second box, and 1 wood plank in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 wood planks. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a note block.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the note block will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Note Block to Inventory
Once you have crafted a note block, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made a note block in Minecraft!
