A vanilla friendly datapack/resourcepack that adds better functionality to noteblocks in Vanilla minecraft, such as noteblock editing tools, more octaves, etc.

If you've ever tried to make a jingle or a song using noteblocks but gave up because Minecraft's noteblocks can't pitch high or low enough, this project is for you! While vanilla Minecraft only supports 2 octaves, Quinn's Better Noteblocks adds support for 9 octaves, which is more than enough to create any song! This pack is fully vanilla-friendly and only requires the installation of a resourcepack and a datapack.

Q: Why both a datapack and a resourcepack? A: The resourcepack holds the sound files and the datapack handles the logic, both are needed. Q: Will this cause performance issues? A: Any noteblock that is upgraded will spawn in 1 entity. There are also commands running every tick to check this entity. You can expect at least some extra impact on performance per note block. The performance impact of this has yet to be stress tested, but it seems like the overall impact is low unless you are making a very large note block contraption. That being said, it seems to have no impact on my frames or TPS in my testing world. I am also trying my best to keep this as optimized as possible while still providing the best features. * Q: Why is there a sculk vein above my no
