# **NoteBot Mod Feature Overview**<\/p>\n
**NoteBot** is a client-side mod for Fabric designed to automate Note Block operations and play music within Minecraft. It loads external song files and automatically tunes and plays surrounding Note Blocks.<\/p>\n
## **1. Song Playback Features**<\/p>\n
Load and play music data within the game from external files.<\/p>\n
* **Supported File Formats**:
\n * .nbs: Direct support for Minecraft Note Block Studio files.
\n * .txt: Proprietary text-based song data.
\n* **Playback Control**: Select, play, pause, and stop songs via a dedicated GUI.
\n* **Playback Modes**:
\n * **Tick-based Synchronization**: Plays with precise timing synchronized to Minecraft’s in-game ticks.
\n * **Preview Function**: Play sounds only on the client side to check the song without interacting with actual Note Blocks.<\/p>\n
.nbs files are available on noteblock.world.<\/p>\n
## **2. Note Block Management**<\/p>\n
Automatically finds and manages the Note Blocks required for performance.<\/p>\n
* **Area Scanning**: Automatically searches for Note Blocks around the player and lists them as available instruments.
\n* **Auto-Instrument Detection**: Identifies the type of instrument (Harp, Bass Drum, Snare, etc.) based on the block positioned underneath the Note Block.
\n* **Auto-Tuning**: Automatically tunes surrounding Note Blocks to the required pitch by simulating right-click operations.<\/p>\n
## **3. Visual Feedback**<\/p>\n
Provides visual cues for the performance status and block conditions.<\/p>\n
* **World Rendering**: Highlights blocks in the world that require tuning or are currently being played.
\n* **HUD Display**: Shows real-time playback status, elapsed time, and any missing instruments directly on the screen.
\n* **Debug View**: Detailed technical status and scan results for troubleshooting.<\/p>\n
## **4. Configuration Options**<\/p>\n
Customize the behavior to suit your preferences.<\/p>\n
* **Playing Mode**: Configure movements during performance, such as facing the block or showing the arm-swing animation.
\n* **Playback Speed Adjustment**: Adjust the tempo of the song.
\n* **Volume Settings**: Balance the audio levels specifically for sounds played through the mod.<\/p>\n
## **5. Technical Highlights**<\/p>\n
* **Mixin Integration**: Hooks into ChatScreen, InGameHud, Network Handlers, and Debug Renderers to extend vanilla behavior.
\n* **Localization Support**: Supports six languages: Japanese (JA), English (EN), German (DE), French (FR), Russian (RU), and Chinese (ZH).
\n* **ModMenu Compatibility**: Allows direct access to the configuration screen if ModMenu is installed.<\/p>\n
