'''Music''' is a game mechanic that allows the player to play songs using instruments. Songs can be imported into the game using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_notation ABC notation]. This allows players the ability to share songs, or search for songs others have composed online.<br />
<br />
==Instruments==<br />
Instruments are items that can be used to play songs. They produce unique sounds when played, and the same song can be played using different instruments. Some songs may even be intended to be played on a specific instrument. There are a large number of different varieties of instruments (listed below). [[Tiy]] stated in a stream that they intend to give each race a unique instrument as well.<br />
<br />
Instruments can be acquired through a variety of means. [[Tenant]]s have a 0.5% chance of giving an instrument as a gift, chests have around a 1% chance of containing an instrument, quests have a 3% to 5% chance, [[challenge door|challenge]] rooms have around a 5% chance, and the rare golden chests in the [[fossils]] mini-game have a 10% chance of containing an instrument.<br />
<br />
In multiplayer, different players can play different instruments together to play songs as a band.<br />
