Creating note block music is an extremely fun way to spend time in Minecraft. Note blocks are extremely versatile, and players can create an entire song with a simple redstone configuration.
Note blocks make different noises depending on the block that they are sitting on. This is what allows players to add drums, bass, flutes, and even guitars to their note block orchestra.
Bass drum: stone (any type), bricks, nettherack, magma block, purpur block, concrete, nether quartz
Bell: block of gold
Chime: packed ice
Clicks and sticks: glass (any type), sea lantern
Flute: clay block
Guitar: wool
Snare drum: sand, gravel, concrete powder
Xylophone: bone block
Iron Xylophone: block of iron
Cowbell: soul sand
Didgeridoo: pumpkin
Bit: block of emerald
Banjo: hay bale
Pling: glow stone
Piano: any other block (dirt, piston, rail)
While the player can create note block music with only one type of sound, players are highly recommended to combine different sounds to make their song more interesting.
