Large note colors

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.

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.
