Xylophone: Played by placing a Bone Block below it. Snare: Played by placing sand-related blocks underneath (except Clay Block).īass Drum: Played by placing Hard blocks below it.īell: Played by placing a Gold Block below it.įlute: Played by placing a Clay Block below it.Ĭhime: Played by placing Packed Ice below it. Harp: Played by placing Dirt, Grass or any other block (also nothing) below the Note Block.īass: Played by placing wooden-related Blocks below it (including itself). You can discover the different sounds played by the Note Block by placing certain blocks underneath it. This will not only get a better sound to the song, it will also be simpler to place the redstone. If one wants to get a richer tone in the song/sound they're creating they can bind different notes together into a chord, just like in most instruments. Simply placing a switch or pressure plate on an adjacent block or providing power to the block beneath the note block will not work. In order to wire note blocks to play a note, power must be applied to the side of the note block using redstone dust and a switch or redstone torch, or to the bottom using a redstone torch directly. Then let the minecart do the rest now the player has an automatic note block song. Then walk into the minecart (the player doesn't have to ride it). Then simply repeat the process until one has all the note blocks one wants. Then put the detector rail down and put redstone leading to a note block. Get a minecart, powered rail, and detector rail one can place the rail and power it. It is possible to make an automatic note block sequence and it's relatively cheap to do in survival.

Each time a note block plays a note, a note particle will fly out of the top, with the color depending on the pitch (but not the instrument). A note block must have at least one block below it to play a sound. Redstone current only causes the note to play once, even if it is a continuous current. A note block will play a note when hit or when powered by redstone.
