Bamboo Flute

The Bamboo Flute would be an instrument crafted with bamboo and shears in the crafting table. It would play music similar to the goat horns, but be more culturally aligned with Asian cultures. Adds a depth to storytelling and diversity.

    I love the idea of adding more instruments to Minecraft, especially when it’s an instrument I have made by hand before! In my opinion, the recipe is too easy, but I also can’t think of another way to craft the flute. Maybe it could be an item you find in jungle temples as there’s currently no unique items for the jungle temples.

    It should be called the pan flute. One should be able to customize the music it plays, possibly by sneak-clicking it.

    They also should appeal to Irish cultures

    Asian cultures weren’t the only ones that culturally used flute like instruments… African Cultures did as well as Native American cultures…

    Someone had an idea like this, but which I found better, it's that this sound is hearable when you use a note block which is on bamboo !!!

    Regarding a comment, there is already a flute sound for note blocks for certain blocks; yes, I agree this could be extended to the Bamboo Block. Bamboo Flute would serve to resemble a sound closer to Goat Horns than Note Blocks.

    I really like this! The bamboo flute would be a great alternative for players who may be easily startled by the goat horns, and with more instruments, players would be able to potentially play some kind of music together in the future?

    I like the idea that the flute could play all kinds of melodies, not just Asian music. While I understand the desire to have that representation, especially as it is a bamboo flute, I think it fits more with Minecraft’s style to have flute music that relates to existing in-game sounds or incorporates flute music from a variety of cultures.
