About

NoteBetter adds a configuration file for Note Blocks, letting you:

• Specify custom instruments, either for a block or for a block category!
• Override vanilla instruments!
• Set a volume to be used for each instrument!

Format

The configuration file is a JSON which looks like this:

{
  "blocks": [
    {
      "block": "minecraft:stone",
      "sound": {
        "name": "minecraft:note.bd",
        "volume": 3.0
      }
    }
  ],
  "materials": [
    {
      "material": "minecraft:stone",
      "sound": {
        "name": "minecraft:note.bd",
        "volume": 3.0
      }
    }
  ],
  "default": {
    "name": "minecraft:note.harp",
    "volume": 3.0
  }
}

The full documentation of the format used is available on the wiki.

On the first run, NoteBetter will install some examples in the configuration directory.
