About this Mod
An port of Microtonal Note Blocks to the latest minecraft version with some quality of life changes.
Changes from the original mod
Note blocks now default to 12‑TET (standard Western tuning) at the lowest octave, so they sound familiar right away.
Octave changes adapt to the tuning system. For example, in 4‑TET the octave shifts after 3 notes, meaning only 8 clicks are needed to cycle back to the starting point. This avoids the extra clicks and repeated notes that used to happen, making octave transitions more intuitive across different tunings.
Plans for the future
(maybe) We have the idea to add a modded noteblock that allows for arbitrary tunings (like 31-TET and JI for example). The mod is currently limited to 24-TET since it uses the vanilla
NOTEblock property and those can't be dynamically adjusted past their original limits.Change the tuning fork to have a gui where you can set a specific tuning by right clicking air/shift-clicking a noteblock and then pasting it across a bunch of noteblocks. Sorta like the AE2 configuration wrench / Mekanism configuration card.
(maybe) Datafixers for the original mod so worlds that used that mod can be seamlessly upgraded forward. for the time being treat it as if incompatible.

microtonality server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is microtonality compatible with fabric?
microtonality officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with microtonality – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if microtonality consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
