Noteblock Glow

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Resource pack only.

Minecraft 26.2Newest
Minecraft 1.17–26.1.2
Minecraft 1.15.2–1.16.5

⬇ Download for 26.2 ⬇ Download for 1.17–26.1.2 ⬇ Download for 1.15.2–1.16.5

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

✨ What it does

When a Note Block is powered by redstone, its texture switches to a brighter, highlighted version — making it easy to spot active blocks in complex redstone music setups.

Pure client-side resource pack — no mods required
Does not affect note pitch, instrument, or redstone behavior
Compatible with OptiFine, Sodium, Iris, and other render mods

📝 How to use

Drop the resource pack into .minecraft/resourcepacks/
Enable it in Options → Resource Packs
Power a note block with redstone — it will glow!
For a specific version, please check the version description.

⚠️ Limitations

This is a texture swap effect, not actual light emission, need datapack download
The "glow" does not illuminate surrounding blocks or prevent mobs from spawning
In very dark environments, the texture will still dim slightly due to Minecraft's lighting engine

🔧 Technical Details

Uses the powered blockstate of note_block to switch models
Overrides texture for powered=true state
