A '''note block''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] that emits sounds when {{Control|attacked}}, {{Control|used}}, or [[Minecraft:powered]]. The sound produced can be altered in various ways by using it or putting certain blocks directly above or below it. [[Minecraft:Allay]]s are affected by note blocks, staying nearby and dropping held items next to it for a short while upon hearing its sound.

A note block will produce a sound and spawn a colored musical note [[Minecraft:particle]] whenever any of the following conditions are met:  
A note block will produce a sound and spawn a colored musical note particle whenever any of the following conditions are met:

* It is {{MC/Control|attack|text=attacked}} by a player in Survival mode
* It receives a [[Minecraft:redstone signal]]

A note block must have either [[Minecraft:air]] or a [[Minecraft:mob head]] in the space directly above it to play a sound, though {{Control|use|text=using}} a silenced note block will still change its pitch. Note block sounds can be heard from up to 48 blocks away, and can be independently controlled by the [[Minecraft:Jukebox]]/Note Blocks slider in the audio [[Minecraft:settings]].

Each time a note block plays a sound, a note [[Minecraft:particle]] will appear from the top. The color of the particle depends on the pitch of the note block. Note particles do not appear for silenced note blocks or mob head instruments.

Excluding mob heads, there are 16 different instruments and 25 different pitches per instrument (a total of 400 notes with different sounds). {{control|use|text=Using}} a note block increases the instrument's pitch up a [[Wikipedia:Semitone|semitone]], with a total of two full [[Wikipedia:Octave|octaves]] (24 semitones in total) being available for each instrument. The standard range (for harp and pling instruments) of notes span from F♯<sub>3</sub> to F♯<sub>5</sub>. After reaching the highest note (24 presses of the {{control|use|text=use button}}), pressing use again (25th press of the {{control|use|text=use button}}) resets the pitch back to F♯<sub>3</sub>, as does breaking the block. The note block's pitch is ignored for [[Minecraft:Player Head|player heads]] and the six [[Minecraft:mob heads]].

The string bass and didgeridoo are two octaves (24 semitones) lower than the standard range, the guitar is one octave (12 semitones) lower than the standard range, the flute is one octave above the standard range, and the bell, chime, and xylophone are 2 octaves above the standard range. This gives six octaves (72 semitones) of effective range to combine instruments for greater pitch coverage.

Mob head instruments take priority over block instruments, and play the corresponding mob's {{cd|ambient}} sound, except for creeper heads, which instead trigger the {{cd|primed}} sound. Mob head sounds are not affected by the note block's pitch.

Note blocks can be activated in a variety of different ways following normal redstone principles. Note blocks [[Minecraft:conductive block|conduct]] redstone power, which means they activate blocks next to them when directly powered, including other note blocks.  
Note blocks can be activated in a variety of different ways following normal redstone principles. Note blocks conduct redstone power, which means they activate blocks next to them when directly powered, including other note blocks.  


{{IN|je}} after activating the note block, or changing the note block's pitch (via {{control|use}}) is treated as a block state change, which successfully generates a block update and plays a sound after a [[Minecraft:Piston/Usage#Start delay|start delay]]. This update is detectable by both [[Minecraft:observer]]s and traditional piston-based [[Minecraft:block update detector]]s (BUDs).
{{MC/In|je}} after activating the note block, or changing the note block's pitch (via {{MC/Control|use}}) is treated as a block state change, which successfully generates a block update and plays a sound after a start delay. This update is detectable by both [[Minecraft:observer]]s and traditional piston-based block update detectors (BUDs).


{{IN|je}}, an [[Minecraft:observer]] facing a note block will trigger whenever the note block is {{Control|use|text=used}}, activated with redstone power or the note block's instrument changes. This makes note blocks very flexible when used with observers, especially since note blocks can conduct power to other redstone devices. They can serve as activation switches or a means to control how and when observers are triggered in circuits.

{{IN|be}}, the musical pitch and instrument data are handled on a separate process (tile entity data) that is independent of the main world update loop. As a result, right-clicking to change the note does not trigger a block update. Because no update signal is generated, neither [[Minecraft:observer]]s nor [[Minecraft:BUD]]s can detect the change. This is a known bug.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-53919}}</ref>

==== Sculk detection ====
==== Sculk detection ====
[[Minecraft:Sculk sensors]] and [[Minecraft:calibrated sculk sensors]] can detect both note block activations and pitch changes because these actions generate vibration events. {{IN|be}}, sculk sensors provide the only reliable method to detect both note block activations and pitch changes for redstone, since observers and BUDs cannot register these events.

==== Interaction with allays ====
==== Interaction with allays ====
If an [[Minecraft:allay]] hears a note block play within 16 blocks of its location, it tries to pathfind to it. It will then spend 30 seconds near that particular note block, seeking items around it and dropping them near the note block instead of its player. After 30 seconds, the allay returns to targeting its player unless the note block is played again. A [[Minecraft:Particles#vibration|vibration particle]] emanates from the note block and reaches the allay to indicate the allay has locked on to the note block. Because the allay and the note block interact via a vibration particle, placing [[Minecraft:wool]] between the note block and the allay can prevent this [[Minecraft:Sculk Sensor#Vibration detection|interaction]]. Allays ignore note blocks which do not make sounds, with the exception of note blocks with [[Minecraft:Player Head|player heads]] on top.

Template:Infobox block A note block is a Minecraft:block that emits sounds when {{#vardefine: control | left click on mouse or right trigger on gamepad }}attacked, {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}used, or powered. The sound produced can be altered in various ways by using it or putting certain blocks directly above or below it. Allays are affected by note blocks, staying nearby and dropping held items next to it for a short while upon hearing its sound.

Breaking

Note blocks are most quickly broken with an Minecraft:axe. Script error: No such module "breaking row".

Natural generation

Note blocks can generate in ancient cities.

File:Note-Block.png
A note block being triggered and playing a note

A note block will produce a sound and spawn a colored musical note particle whenever any of the following conditions are met:

  • It is {{#vardefine: control | left click on mouse or right trigger on gamepad }}attacked by a player in Survival mode
  • It receives a redstone signal
  • It is {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}used by a player. {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}Using a note block also changes its pitch.

A note block must have either Minecraft:air or a mob head in the space directly above it to play a sound, though {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}using a silenced note block will still change its pitch. Note block sounds can be heard from up to 48 blocks away, and can be independently controlled by the Minecraft:Jukebox/Note Blocks slider in the audio Minecraft:settings.

Each time a note block plays a sound, a note particle will appear from the top. The color of the particle depends on the pitch of the note block. Note particles do not appear for silenced note blocks or mob head instruments.

Excluding mob heads, there are 16 different instruments and 25 different pitches per instrument (a total of 400 notes with different sounds). {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}Using a note block increases the instrument's pitch up a semitone, with a total of two full octaves (24 semitones in total) being available for each instrument. The standard range (for harp and pling instruments) of notes span from F♯3 to F♯5. After reaching the highest note (24 presses of the {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}use button), pressing use again (25th press of the {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}use button) resets the pitch back to F♯3, as does breaking the block. The note block's pitch is ignored for player heads and the six mob heads.

The string bass and didgeridoo are two octaves (24 semitones) lower than the standard range, the guitar is one octave (12 semitones) lower than the standard range, the flute is one octave above the standard range, and the bell, chime, and xylophone are 2 octaves above the standard range. This gives six octaves (72 semitones) of effective range to combine instruments for greater pitch coverage.

The exact pitch can be found from its {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}use-count by using the following formula: 2 ^ ((use count - 12) / 12).

The exact pitch to {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}use-count assignment is shown below,<ref>Original chart by cookingfat</ref><ref>Original /playsound pitch chart by kwerti</ref> along with the note's color, which is rendered with shading using the particle's texture.

Activating note blocks

File:NoteBlockRedstone.png
A pair of note blocks wired to a clock circuit to play alternately

Note blocks can be activated in a variety of different ways following normal redstone principles. Note blocks conduct redstone power, which means they activate blocks next to them when directly powered, including other note blocks.

in Template:Editions after activating the note block, or changing the note block's pitch (via {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}use) is treated as a block state change, which successfully generates a block update and plays a sound after a start delay. This update is detectable by both Minecraft:observers and traditional piston-based block update detectors (BUDs).

in Template:Editions, an Minecraft:observer facing a note block will trigger whenever the note block is {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}used, activated with redstone power or the note block's instrument changes. This makes note blocks very flexible when used with observers, especially since note blocks can conduct power to other redstone devices. They can serve as activation switches or a means to control how and when observers are triggered in circuits.

in Template:Editions, the musical pitch and instrument data are handled on a separate process (tile entity data) that is independent of the main world update loop. As a result, right-clicking to change the note does not trigger a block update. Because no update signal is generated, neither Minecraft:observers nor BUDs can detect the change. This is a known bug.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Sculk detection

Sculk sensors and calibrated sculk sensors can detect both note block activations and pitch changes because these actions generate vibration events. in Template:Editions, sculk sensors provide the only reliable method to detect both note block activations and pitch changes for redstone, since observers and BUDs cannot register these events.

Interaction with allays

If an allay hears a note block play within 16 blocks of its location, it tries to pathfind to it. It will then spend 30 seconds near that particular note block, seeking items around it and dropping them near the note block instead of its player. After 30 seconds, the allay returns to targeting its player unless the note block is played again. A vibration particle emanates from the note block and reaches the allay to indicate the allay has locked on to the note block. Because the allay and the note block interact via a vibration particle, placing Minecraft:wool between the note block and the allay can prevent this interaction. Allays ignore note blocks which do not make sounds, with the exception of note blocks with player heads on top.

Fuel

Note blocks can be used as fuel in Minecraft:furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Trivia

  • Because a note block is a wooden-type block, a note block directly on top of another one produces a string bass sound when playing notes.
  • in Template:Editions, note blocks have the highest number of possible block state combinations, at 1350, beating Minecraft:fire's 512 and redstone dust's 1296.
