Update 0.13.0 |
Note Blocks are Redstone-related Blocks that were added in Update 0.13.0.
Crafting[]
- 8 Wooden Planks + 1 Redstone => 1 Note Block
Usage[]
Note Block notes with the corresponding key
Note Blocks produce sound when tapped or when they receive a Redstone signal. They produce a low pitched sound initially, and if continuously tapped, will produce higher pitched sounds.
Whenever a Note Block is tapped, they produce different colored musical note particle effects above them.
Instruments[]
The sound the Note Block produces depends on the block beneath it. It creates sounds of different instruments when tapped in different cases.
| Block Beneath | Instrument |
|---|---|
| Wood | Bass Guitar |
| Sand or Gravel | Snare Drum |
| Glass or Glowstone | Clicks and Sticks |
| Stone | Bass Drum |
| Any other block | Piano or Harp |
Trivia[]
- Note Blocks start at the pitch F♯/G♭, which is unique since there is no known musical instrument tuned to F#.
- Note Blocks cannot make sound if there is not a block of air above them.
- However, they can still be tuned.
- Note Blocks still make a sound in mid-air.
- But when it is in mid-air, it makes the sound same as if a Grass Block was beneath it.
- After Update 0.15.0, the Note Blocks' sounds were made louder.
