Music App
The music app is used to create custom Music Discs without needing to install mods or audio files. It can convert a Music Disc or and Empty Disc into a music disc and store realtive tag data about the track, note, instrument and pitch. This can them be read from the Music Player page by page.
Most things in the GUI are functional later on we will go over each feature and explain what each thing does.
The UI can be opened one of two ways. You can use a Creative Music Maker block or have CCTVCraft installed with a supported version for this mod.
If you go with the latter part you can use a Simple Monitor to create Music Discs from Empty Discs using the Disc Drive or edit existing Music Discs.
- The top part of the UI has three tracks, White, Gray and Black.
- Tracks are broken up into 4 parts, Red, Yellow, Green and Blue.
- And each part has 4 notes that can be assigned.
- Any notes not assigned a pitch and instrument will simply not play any sound for that tick.
- Each note is also a button so all you need to do is select your instrument, then your pitch, and finally click the slot on the track where you want to apply it.
On the top right there are 4 buttons arranged in a 2 by 2 grind.
The top left button allows you to Cut and Copy a page saving it to a clipboard for later use.
The top right button allows you to just Copy a page, useful if you don't want to remove all the notes.
The bottom left button allows you to just Clear the page removing all notes data.
The bottom right button allows you to Paste copied page data.
The nobs don't have any functionality just a visual decoration.
There are a total of 16 instruments in 1.0.0 that you can use from note block sounds.
More instruments may be added in the future.
The list is in the same order from left to right on the GUI.
- Xylophone
- Iron Xylophone
- Snare Drum
- Bass Drum
- Didgeridoo
- Bass
- Banjo
- Cow Bell
- Chime

Important
In Minecraft 26.1 trumpet sounds were added. Future updates will add support for these instrument types.
On the right of the instruments shows the tick speed of the track.
On the Bottom Right you have two arrow buttons one facing left one facing right.
These control what page your on for your track.
These buttons can go up to 200 pages.
Each key is a button. You first select your instrument then press a note on the keyboard to select the pitch for that instrument.
The X button next to the keyboard allows you to remove notes from the track when selected.
Note
Selecting the X button will reset the saved pitch and instrument data to their default notes to allow clearing of data.
Below the X button there are number buttons these control the speed of the track in ticks. So 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 20 ticks respectively.
When your done with editing the page press the save button or floppy disk icon on the bottom right corner, this will save the changes to the Music Disc for that page.
Warning
If you use the arrows button to go between pages without saving, any unsaved changes will be rolled back to the last save point.
