Obtaining
Crafting
Breaking
A note block drops itself when broken with anything. An axe is not effective against it.
Usage
Playing
A note block plays its note when a player hits it or uses it. Using it raises the pitch first.
A note block also plays once each time it becomes a powered block, strongly or weakly. A powered block beside it does not play it. It checks only at a block update from a power source.
It plays only when the space above it is empty. The note can be heard up to 48 blocks away.
Pitch
A note block has 25 pitches, two octaves. Each use raises the pitch by a semitone, and a use at the highest returns it to the lowest.
Instrument
The block beneath a note block sets its instrument:
| Block beneath | Instrument |
|---|---|
| stone, cobblestone and every other rock block | bass drum |
| sand, gravel, soul sand | snare drum |
| glass | hi-hat |
| planks, wood and every other wooden block | bass |
| anything else | harp |
Fuel
A note block burns in a furnace for 300 ticks (15 seconds).
Behaviour
A piston cannot push a note block. Fire does not burn it.
