Overview

Bach double violin concerto, performed in Minecraft note blocks.

YouTube recording: https://youtu.be/O7vhbd8VgUw

Generated using noteblock-generator.

I actually followed the score of the keyboard concerto BWV 1062, because it suits note blocks better. I name this project after the violin concerto because in real life, I like the violin concerto more.

How to play this?

3 alternatives, depending on your need:

Using pre-generated world

Download World.zip in Releases, unzip it and drop it in your Minecraft saves folder.

This is the same world used for the YouTube recording.

Generating in your own world

If you want to generate this structure in your own world:

• Download compiled.zip in Releases
• Install noteblock-generator
• Run nbg -i compiled.zip -o /path/to/minecraft/world

Noteblock Generator has a few customizable build options. The Makefile shows the exact options used for making the YouTube video.

Compiling from source

I... don't know why you would want to do this, but you can. This lets you modify the song directly (e.g. changing some notes/instruments).

• Clone this repo

• Install noteblock-compiler

• Run nbc -i src -o compiled.json
  (Zipping this JSON would give you the same thing as compiled.zip.)

• Follow the same instructions in "Generating in your own world". You don't have to zip it; nbg can take either format.
