Additions
- Added a sound import assistant to help you use sounds from Minecraft: Java Edition in your songs!
- Accessible from Settings > Import sounds from Minecraft.
- Make sure to launch the version you want from the Launcher before importing its sounds. Set your Minecraft installation path and game version, click the button to get sounds and watch them magically appear!
- The sounds from the selected version will be copied to the 'minecraft' folder in your Sounds folder.
- It is now possible to save a song with its custom sound files attached.
- Reach over to File > Save song with instruments... to find this option.
- This makes sharing songs with custom instruments easier than ever!
- The saved file is a regular ZIP file containing the song, as well as the sound files used in it.
- This feature replaces the 'Export sounds' option, previously accessible from the Instruments window.
- Note Block Studio now registers itself as a handler for the
nbs://URL protocol on startup.- This can be used to download and open NBS files directly from an external application, such as a blog or website.
- By default, the program will launch in the player mode when handling the protocol.
- To prevent security risks, the file won't be opened if it can't be detected as a valid song, or if it's over a certain size.
- Added Minecraft version setting to data pack export.
- You can choose between 1.13-1.20 and 1.21+.
- This was necessary due to a change in the internal structure of data packs, in order to not break compatibility with older versions.
- Added new OpenNBS social links to the greeting window, the Help menu and the About window.
- Added donation links! If NBS is useful to you and you'd like to support its development, feel free to check out these options.
