Hi,

Me and my friends are loving this mod! It works great for us and he haven't had any issues. We were hoping these instruments could be considered to be added? :)!

Cello
Tuba
Vibraphone
Glockenspiel
Steel Drums

These should be default instruments available in the midi library so they would only need an instrument model I suppose!

PS - Have you considered on adding a way for us to add our own instruments via a data pack or resource pack or something so we can just link to more instrument id's in the soundfont!

Hello! Glad to hear you're enjoying the mod and that it's working well for you and thanks for the suggestion!

I have been planning a percussion focused instrument update as the next one and a few of your suggestions fit right in so I'll definitely consider adding those as part of it!

I actually had a Tuba in the mod at one point but the sound (at least with the default soundfont on my system) was surprisingly similar to the Trumpet so I replaced it with the French Horn. The cello is in a similar boat where it sounded pretty similar to the violin on my system so i didn't prioritize it. But both of these are definitely instruments that I'll consider adding in future updates because I'm sure the sounds differ more significantly in other registers than the one I was testing with.

If you're interested in adding them sooner I have considered creating a tutorial on adding instruments to MIMI because you're totally right that it mostly just requires a texture and a model for instruments that are placed as blocks! I think adding instruments could be a fun way for the community to get involved with MIMI!

Regarding your last suggestion - That's a really interesting idea! I think I already have the code for instruments generalized enough where that should be possible. I am going to look into doing that, it sounds like a really neat idea! I'll probably move that over to a new issue to track it separately. If you'd like to open it feel free; Otherwise I'll do so later this week!

Thanks again for all of the suggestions!

Just to give an update on this: I've added the Glockenspiel, Vibraphone, and Steel Drums in the latest update along with custom instrument support (example)! A Beta Release is now up on Curseforge!

Wow that is amazing and exactly what I was hoping for, thank you so much! I will let you know if I run into any issues with my additions I add.

Hello again! Apologies for the super late reply. Life got super crazy for awhile and I had pretty much no time for the mod. I've just released Beta versions for a major 4.0.0 update which adds the Cello and Tuba!

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions and thanks for these!
