Settings
Every Block Band setting explained, from note speed and strum mode to the microphone, Streamer mode and the concert camera.
Open Settings from the Block Band menu (or Mods › Block Band › Config). Your settings are saved in
config/tgband-client.toml in your game folder. Server settings are on Running a server.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Note speed | 1.0 | How fast notes come down the highway (0.5 to 3). Faster spreads them further apart. |
| Strum mode | Off | Guitar and bass: hold the frets and press strum, like a real controller. |
| Timing offset | 0 ms | Your audio delay, set by Calibrate. Raise it if you have to hit late to get perfects. |
| Sound style | Studio | Studio for recorded audio, Minecraft for note blocks. |
| No Fail | On | You can’t fail out of a song. |
| Lefty | Off | Flips the highway left to right. |
| Miss sound | On | A clunk when you miss a note. |
| Darken the world behind | 0.3 | How much the world dims behind the highway (0 to 1). |
| Concert camera | On | The camera cuts between shots of you and your band while you play. |
| Show key hints | On | The key or button for each lane under the highway. |
| Microphone | Automatic | The microphone for vocals. Easiest to pick on the Microphone screen. |
| Vocals: guide tune volume | 0.5 | How loud the tune plays while someone sings it. |
| Streamer mode | Off | Only songs marked stream-safe can be played (see Streaming safely). |
| Song previews | On | The song you pick on the song list plays a short preview. |
Controls are in Options › Controls › Block Band, and controllers have their own Controllers screen in the Block Band menu.
