Major Note
Major Note is a utility mod for Minecraft Forge that allows server administrators to seamlessly share and play custom music for players. Unlike traditional resource packs, Major Note dynamically syncs .ogg files directly from the server to connected clients, allowing for real-time music management without requiring players to manually download external files.
Features
- Server-side
.ogg files are automatically chunked and transferred to clients when they join or when a new track is defined.
- Use a built-in menu to select tracks and choose exactly which players should hear them.
- Synced music is cached locally on the client, so tracks only need to be downloaded once.
- Complete control over playback through dedicated commands and interfaces.
- Uses custom chunked networking to ensure large audio files don't cause server lag or network overflows.
How it Works
- Place your
.ogg files into the /major_note/music/ folder on your server.
- Use
/mn define to give the track a metadata title and author.
- Open the play menu with
/mn play, pick a song, select your audience, and enjoy!
Note: If a player does not hear the music played, check if they have the "major_note_server_cache" resource pack enabled.
"/mn play" GUI:
Commands
/mn play: Opens the Music Selection GUI./mn stop: Opens the Stop Music GUI to manage active playback./mn stop all: Immediately stops all Major Note music for everyone on the server./mn define <filename> <"author"> <"title">: Registers a new audio file (located in the server's music folder) and syncs it to all players.
- Example:
/mn define epic_battle "Hans Zimmer" "The Final Stand"
"/mn stop" GUI:
Setup & Installation
- Server: Install the mod and start the server to generate the
major_note/music directory in your server root.
- Client: Requires the mod to be installed on the client to receive and play the audio.
Server-side music folder looks like that:
Notes
- Ensure all music files are in
.ogg format for compatibility.
- Commands require level 2 permissions (OP) by default.
- All synced tracks are stored in the client's resource pack cache for the duration of the session.
