Creating Moosic For Runsafe
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.
- Visit the Online Sequencer to find a song. (https://onlinesequencer.net/sequences)
- Click the search box and search for "Minecraft" (Note: You can search for anything here, but for the example we'll be using Minecraft)
- Make sure you search by popular and all time.
- Click on the second track "Minecraft - Sweden.mid (https://onlinesequencer.net/434878)
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.)

3b: Loading your MID File into NBS
