About this Mod

Copper Music Boxes

Making Note Block songs easier - one chime at a time

Music Boxes can be used alone, as well as with a Note Block as an Instrument to play a custom song
Using a drum spindle, you can create your own song, and use a honeycomb to lock the song (and oxidization!)

Music box keys open and close music boxes, allowing for decorations using the Music Boxes.

Copper Music Boxes will oxidize, which will delay how often a note will play depending on the oxidization level.

How to use the Song Editor UI:

  • Right click: Set song length
  • Left click: Toggle selected note
  • Scroll: Move editor view up and down
  • Shift + Scroll: Move editor view left and right
  • The green flag shows which note ends the song. If the end of the song is off the current view, there will be an arrow showing which direction the end of the song is.

Technical notes:
Minimum pitch for any sound is now .01, and maximum is now 3. Item pickup sounds will sound different due to this change.
