Version 4.0.0 - RELEASE

Added

• 8 New Instruments
  • Block: Timpani, Harp, Contrabass
  • Handheld: Trombone, Tuba, Viola, Cello, Piccolo
• 1 New Tuned Instrument
  • Violin (Trio)
• Handheld Transmitter - Replaces the previous Transmitter and FileCaster.
  • Includes a much improved interface and the ability to place songs from the server and your PC.
• Server Transmitter Block - Replaces the Broadcaster.
  • Includes the same interface as the handheld Transmitter but can only play songs from the server.
• LED Cubes - When powered by Redstone glows in one of 16 colors (dye colors).
  • Includes 8 design variants and the ability to invert so that it glows when not powered by Redstone.
  • Does not change the light level in the world so that it can be rapidly turned on and off without lag.
• Effect Emitter - When powered by Redstone can play a Sound Effect and Particle Effect.
  • Can be heavily customized using the User Interface including the ability to loop.
  • Includes the ability to invert so that it emits when not powered by Redstone.

Changed

• User Interface - Every screen in MIMI has been at least partially overhauled for visual consistency and simplification.
• Simplified Instrument to Transmitter Linking - It's not faster and easier than ever to link your instruments and start playing.
• Overhauled Transmitter - The Transmitter has been completely rebuilt to make it easier to use and give more flexibility.
  • You can now set songs as favorites and filter the list of songs to only those you have marked.
  • Servers can now provide MIDI files that will show up on the Transmitter screen for players to easily play.
  • You can now seek around the current MIDI file by clicking within the seek bar.
  • MIDI files are now expected to be stored in a specific folder like Resource Packs.
    • While less flexible, this makes it easier for players to locate their files.
    • There's even a button to open the folder right from the Transmitter screen!
• Simplified MIDI Settings Copying - You can now copy MIDI settings from one block or instrument to via the crafting grid.
• Listener and Receiver Modes - You can now toggle the Listener and Receiver between "Note Start" and "Note Held" modes.
  • Note Start - This was previously the only mode and would cause the Listener/Receiver to emit Redstone when a note started.
  • Note Held - This new mode allows the Listener/Receiver to continuously emit Redstone while a note is playing.
• Block Art - Art for nearly every block has been redone to enhance block-to-block uniqueness and increase visual consistency.
• Massive Performance Improvements - Reduced latency on everything from notes playing to Listeners and Receivers triggering.
  • On MIMI 3.x Through the Fire and The Flames with 5 Instruments, 5 Listeners, and 5 Receivers used 43% of Server Tick Time
    • On MIMI 4.0.0 the same setup consistently uses < 3% of Server Tick Time
  • on MIMI 3.x there was a minimum 100ms delay between Listeners/Receivers firing and players hearing the notes
    • On MIMI 4.0.0 that delay has a minimum of 10ms
• Several recipe tweaks for balance.
• Many bug fixes and stability improvements.
• Probably a bunch of other small things that I'm forgetting.

Removed

• Switchboards - MIDI settings are now stored directly on instruments and blocks.
  • Instruments and blocks that previous contained a Switchboard have had the settings copied onto them.
• FileCaster - The Transmitter now supports playing files from the server and your PC.
  • Can be converted to a Transmitter item by right-clicking while holding.
• Broadcaster - MIDI playback by URL is no longer supported for security reasons.
  • Can be converted to a Server Transmitter block by right-clicking when placed in the world.
• Floppy Disks - MIDI playback by URL is no longer supported for security reasons.
• Disk Writer - MIDI playback by URL is no longer supported for security reasons.
