# \ud83c\udfbc MIDIReceiver (Spigot Plugin)<\/p>\n
The **MIDIReceiver** plugin listens for `midi:action` plugin messages and plays matching Minecraft note block sounds in real time.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udce1 Incoming Plugin Message: `midi:action`<\/p>\n
The plugin receives `MidiAction` packets from the client mod and triggers sounds accordingly.<\/p>\n
### `MidiAction` Payload Structure<\/p>\n
“`java
\nrecord MidiAction(
\n String name,
\n int command,
\n int channel,
\n int data1,
\n int data2
\n)
\n“`<\/p>\n
| Field | Type | Description |
\n| ——— | ——– | ———————————— |
\n| `name` | `String` | Name of the MIDI device |
\n| `command` | `int` | MIDI command (e.g., `144` = Note On) |
\n| `channel` | `int` | MIDI channel (0\u201315) |
\n| `data1` | `int` | Note number |
\n| `data2` | `int` | Velocity |<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd0a MIDI to Minecraft<\/p>\n
If `command == 144` and `velocity > 0`, the plugin maps `data1` (MIDI note) to Minecraft note block pitch `0\u201324` and plays the note using `player.playNote(…)`.<\/p>\n
## \u2705 Requirements<\/p>\n
* A Spigot\/Paper server (1.20+ recommended)
\n* A client mod that sends `midi:action` plugin messages<\/p>\n
