LiveMIDI

Play live MIDI input in Minecraft using noteblocks.

LiveMIDI is a Fabric client-side mod for Minecraft that connects to a local MIDI input device, builds a noteblock stage around the player, and plays notes in real-time directly in Minecraft.

Features

  • Live MIDI Input — Connect any MIDI controller (keyboard, drum pad, etc.) and play notes directly in Minecraft
  • Real-time Playback — Notes are played on noteblocks, enabling multiplayer compatibility
  • General MIDI Mapping — Supports GM instrument and percussion mapping powered by SongPlayer
  • Auto Stage Building — Automatically constructs a noteblock stage in creative mode
  • Configurable Stage Shapes — Choose between default, wide, or spherical layouts
  • Fake Player — Visual player entity that mirrors your actions for recording/streaming
  • Rotation & Swing — Player auto-rotates to face played blocks with swing animation
  • Freecam Noclip — Fly through the stage without collision during live sessions
  • Velocity Threshold — Filter out quiet notes with a configurable minimum velocity
  • Multilingual — Built-in English and French support
