Runsafe has an extensive selection of Moosic books for all players to enjoy. Below is a detailed guide on how to set-up and test songs to see if they will fit into the Moosic Selection. If the songs are good they might get added if approved!

What is Moosic?

A Moosic book is a Minecraft record disc, but plays any song you can imagine. Think of this as a custom record disc. Once you have obtained a moosic book all you have to do is place it in a jukebox, and it will play the song attached to it.

1: MID Files

1A: Finding a MID File

All songs need to be in mid format. For this example we will be using Online Sequencer to find some songs already in mid format. Songs that aren't in mid format will need to be converted from the pre-exsiting format to mid.

1B: Previewing a MID File

Great you found a song you may be interested in! Now make sure you listen to the song and download the file if you think it sounds good! (Note: Just because it sounds good on the website doesn't mean it will sound good in a noteblock)

  • Once you've opened the song in the Online Sequencer click the play button in the middle of the screen, volume control will be in the top right.
  • If the song sounds like something you may like, click the download button in the top right corner of the website.

1C: Downloading a MID File

Once you download the mid file for simplicity take the file out of your downloads folder and place it onto your desktop.

Your mid file can come from any source not just Online Sequencer so as long as you have a mid file by this point you can keep moving forward.

2: Noteblock Studio

2A: Download Noteblock Studio (Windows)

You will need to download a free program called Noteblock studio to preview your song and convert it into nbs format.

  • You can download Noteblock Studio here (https://www.stuffbydavid.com/mcnbs) (Note: This version is required to work with Runsafe's current Minecraft version. Newer formats are not supported on the server at this time.)
  • Click the download installer.exe, then run the exe

3: Using Noteblock Studio (Mid Import)

Now that you've downloaded Noteblock Studio you are ready to listen to your MID file, or if your daring enough to create your own song from scratch.

3A: Launching Noteblock Studio

  • Launch Noteblock Studio
  • After launching a window will appear 'Update available - Do you want to download it?' ALWAYS PRESS NO (Note: This version is required to work with Runsafe's current Minecraft version. Newer formats are not supported on the server at this time.)
  • Press the 'Load a song' button

3B: Loading your MID File into NBS

  • In the following window make sure you have it set to 'MIDI Sequences (*.mid)' and not 'Noteblock Songs (*.nbs)'
  • Once you have toggled to MIDI Sequences (*.mid) your song should appear that's on your desktop, click the song then press open.
  • When the song is loaded into nbs a screen will appear for MIDI import, press 'import' in the bottom right corner. (Note: The other settings on this screen don't matter for the import, messing with them will likely ruin the song. Use at your own risk.)

3C: Guide to understanding NBS for importing MID files

Below is a quick guide as to what tools you'll need to know for tweaking your mid file

  • A - The track showing the song notes. This will show you the notes type and pitch.
  • B - The track showing you how far into the song you are.
  • C - The songs progression
  • D - The current tick speed for the song. (Note: Most songs will fall between 5-10t/s. Songs will still play faster slightly faster on the server. So in many cases slightly slower is better.)
  • E - Song controls for Play, Stop, Rewind, Fast Forward, and Record.

3D: Playing the MID song

Now that you've loaded your song into NoteBlock Studio, all you need to do is tweak it to your liking.

  • Play the song and listen to see if the notes sound good.
  • Change the speed as needed to make it flow without to much quite time.
  • Once you play the song the play symbol will change to pause and you will see a line running down the track while it plays.

(Note: Notes that sound spammy or too complicated often will not sound good in game, songs with a lot of quite time are also not preferred as you won't know if a song is playing or not)

3E: The MID is bad

You've played the song and it doesn't sound quite right. This happens a lot and the easiest fix would be to get a new MID file.
