Description

MIMI (Musical Instrument Minecraft Interface) is a mod for Forge and NeoForge that adds dozens of musical instruments to Minecraft and numerous unique ways of interacting with them.
Instruments can be played using the in-game controls, using external MIDI files, or even by attaching an external MIDI Input device such as a digital piano. When being played from a MIDI file, instruments can be assigned to specific MIDI channels (essentially the individual instrument parts of a MIDI file such as the guitar part and drum part) and multiple instruemnts can be linked up to play the same file in-sync which allows you to create brand new remixes of MIDI songs live by changing the instruemnts assigned to each part.
Using the new Listener and Receiver blocks added by MIMI you can convert notes played by instruments and MIDI files into redstone signals which can be used to create musically-synced effects or even used to program complex redstone logic. Server owners can also upload MIDI files to the server which will be available for all players to play themselves or be played by the server itself.
There are many additional smaller features within MIMI and everything is explained in the in-game guidebook (requires the Patchouli mod) and on the mod wiki which you can find here.
