This would be a more involved version of "Tune a Note Block" that requires more game knowledge and is a longitudinal goal like 10+ unique foods

There are 19 Draftout-feasible unique note block sounds, I think 10 is a fair number if it's a single goal, 5/10/15 could be good for a spread goal

510

some nice trial chamber overlap for 10/15 uniques

I think this on top of the current one not replacing it

Pythoria3 months ago

But this is like my favourite goal suggestion I've seen

Pythoria3 months ago

It's like the map colours goal but not complete ragebait

closureOP3 months ago

yes it wouldn't have replace the current goal

hmmm i think it could also be interesting to have "tune a note block" replaced with a goal for specific noteblock sound variants

i feel like not enough ppl know abt the block sounds at all

sugaarush3 months ago

like which blocks have unique sounds yk

sugaarush3 months ago

especially if u force a specific sound

closureOP3 months ago

that would be an alternative way to do it but i feel the knowledge check there is quite specific which means you can just wiki it at the start of the game and won't be punished, with "play X" you can probably guess a few blocks like wood/stone/sand, but someone who's good could be rewarded by looking for every opportunity to go for the task

sugaarush3 months ago

what does being good mean tho? like i feel like only a very small and niche community would know these

sugaarush3 months ago

i feel like unless you've spent time making noteblock music no one would know these

sugaarush3 months ago

and thats a very few ppl

sugaarush3 months ago

and the learning ceiling is super low too cause u can just search these up

sugaarush3 months ago

which is what most ppl would prolly do

closureOP3 months ago

i mean good at overlapping tasks and keeping all the unique sounds in your mental load

closureOP3 months ago

this is different from just seeing a list of all of them

closureOP3 months ago

learning the sounds isn't the problem, it is setting up a line with many possible unique items as opposed to just doing 1 item as the goal

5773 months ago

yea it definitely has a way different impact on the game

5773 months ago

my only concern with x unique sounds is that it kinda feels hard to balance, because a bunch of them are completely trivial so u need to make the number pretty high in order for it to have a significant impact on the game

closureOP3 months ago

Well you also need the redstone to begin with

closureOP3 months ago

Its kinda like spyglass in that way ig

closureOP3 months ago

But also sort of like foods or 4 seeds where you need to also look for certain items in the line

I feel like we shouldn’t be saying that potential new goals are bad because players don’t have the knowledge. Most people coming into Draftout didn’t know their sus stews but now I’d say most top players as well as many lower players (such as myself in gold) know them. A similar thing would certainly happen with note block.

I feel like there's already too many trial chamber goals

TNT4443 months ago

Unless you change the number to something like 5

jes3 months ago

just because this has overlap doesn't make it a trial chamber focused goal

jes3 months ago(edited)

bone block: nether/compost
hay bale, emerald, wool: village
iron: shipwreck/bt
soul sand & glowstone: nether

just as some examples

jes3 months ago

the copper variants are only like 10% compared to the whole pool of blocks that create unique sounds

jes3 months ago

you could also include mob heads

jes3 months ago

as a unique sound

Streakify3 months ago

Honestly doesn't look like a bad goal, main issue is really just knowledge

Streakify3 months ago

But it's not that hard if u get used to it

Uniquepotatoes3 months ago

i think this is like fine but yeah bit obnoxious to study allat for 1 goal

Pythoria3 months ago

From memory I can name: bone block, gold block, wood, wool, emerald block, glass, sand, stone, haybale, air

Pythoria3 months ago

If air counts

Pythoria3 months ago

So I know like abt ten

Pythoria3 months ago

If I'm correct

Pythoria3 months ago

And then there's always the mc wiki

Threadfinn3 months ago

Even if you don't know which blocks you specifically need, you can just try to random blocks and you'll complete it eventually.
The required knowledge is lower than for some other goals anyways

Id use the word "instrument" over "sound" but I like the overall idea!

closureOP3 months ago(edited)

to elaborate here, there are a few unique mob head ones, but the only viable one is probably skeleton skull if you have an ancient city line, everything else is much easier to obtain

jes3 months ago

yueah agree

jes3 months ago(edited)

or the rare chance you get wither skeleton head first try

jes3 months ago

LMAO

I’d definitely go for 10 as the best number for this. You can pretty much always get
* Harp (any other block)
* Bass (any wood)
* Bass drum (any stone)

A couple can be done anywhere:
* Guitar (wool)
* Xylophone (bone block)

Then rivers/oceans give a couple
* Flute (clay)
* Snare drum (sand/gravel)
* Hat (glass)
* Vibraphone (block of iron)

Villages can be good too:
* Banjo (hay bale)
* Didgeridoo (pumpkin)
* But (emerald block)
* Guitar (wool)
* Hat (glass pane)
* Chime (packed ice)

Nether is good too:
* Cow Bell (soul sand)
* Pling (glowstone)
* Xylophone (bone block)
* Glockenspiel (gold block)
* Vibraphone (block of iron)
* Guitar (wool)
* Snare drum (gravel)

Trial Chamber is also good:
* Oxidised copper
* Weathered copper
* Exposed copper
* Block of copper

If it’s 10, there are lines that exist outside of going to a trial chamber or the nether. You have a lot of options.
