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!

How To Install Minecraft Note Block Studio Mac

The Minecraft Note Block Studio is a fan-made, external music editor for Minecraft. With it, users can compose complex note block songs without redstone knowledge, though some minor musical instrument knowledge is required. In the software, the range of the note blocks can go far beyond the 2 octaves allowed in Minecraft and custom instruments may be added from sound files. In January 2019, the program was discontinued by David Norgen, however, in the webpage, he mentioned an open-source continuation made by HielkeMinecraft.

The program supports MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), both from input files (.mid files) and from connected electronic keyboards. Songs can be exported into .mp3 files and converted into data packs that can be used to play them in the game, and also .schematic files, that can be imported into a Minecraft world using MCEdit.

MIDI file compatibility[edit]

Green cells = Compatible
Yellow cells = Partially compatible
Orange cells = Very restricted compatibility

Note Block Studio Maker

MIDI import problems:

Minecraft Note Block Studio Mac

• Tempo changes aren't supported. If a tempo is supposed to change in the middle of a song, the tempo will remain the same, resulting in the song becoming faster or slower.
• Time signature changes aren't supported. This can cause problems in a large amount of XG MIDI files that have their loading data in the first measure, but the first measure has a time signature different than the rest of the measures.
