Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Mob loot[edit | edit source]

When killed by any skeleton, wither skeleton, stray, or bogged, a creeper drops a random music disc from the following pool:

Since wither skeletons do not use bows, they cannot attack creepers without using commands, and therefore are unable to cause a creeper to drop a music disc in normal gameplay.

TNT ignited by a flaming arrow gives credit for all of the resulting kills to the entity that fired the arrow. Therefore, if a skeleton ignites a TNT block by using a bow with the Flame enchantment, or by shooting through lava or fire, then each creeper killed by the explosion drops a music disc.[1][2]

Generated loot[edit | edit source]

Music discs can be found by exploring various structures in the game. ItemSprite music-disc-13.png: Sprite image for music-disc-13 in Minecraft linking to Music Disc 1313 and ItemSprite music-disc-cat.png: Sprite image for music-disc-cat in Minecraft linking to Music Disc catcat are the most common discs that can be found this way; the other discs are generally rarer.

Some discs can be found only within structures and do not drop from creepers. Typically, the appearance of the music disc matches the structure in which it spawns. The disc ItemSprite music-disc-5.png: Sprite image for music-disc-5 in Minecraft "5" can be found only as Disc Fragments, requiring 9 fragments to craft the music disc.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Playing Music[edit | edit source]

A music disc can be played on a jukebox by holding the disc and pressing the use control on the jukebox, or by using a hopper or a dropper facing toward the jukebox. Pressing use on the jukebox again ejects the disc and stops any music playing. Once it stops playing, the disc can also be retrieved by a hopper placed beneath the jukebox (a jukebox emits a redstone signal while the disc is playing, temporarily locking the hopper).

The in-game music disc tracks are all monaural recordings. Tracks released for listening outside of the game are in stereo (though "Pigstep" has a mono version included in the Nether Update soundtrack EP).

Redstone Signal[edit | edit source]

A jukebox playing music from a disc emits a level 15 signal, powering any adjacent redstone wires, redstone repeaters, and mechanism components. The signal turns off when the music track ends or if the disc is removed before the track ends.

If the player places a comparator besides a jukebox, the intensity of the redstone signal depends on the disc currently inserted, with the following values. The comparator is powered as long as a disc is stored inside the jukebox, even if it has stopped playing.

History[edit | edit source]

Java Edition Alpha
April 2010C418 uploaded a video to YouTube, containing previews of many music tracks that were later added as music discs. (This video is no longer available.)
v1.0.14 "13" and "cat" are the first music discs to be added to Minecraft.
Music discs have been added to monster room chests.
Music discs can also be dropped by creepers shot by skeletons.
?References for 10 new music tracks were added to the game's assets. All were encoded in the .mus format.
Java Edition Beta
1.2_02Before this update, gold "13" music discs were noticeably more common than green "cat" ones. Now, green "cat" discs are more often dropped.
August 1, 2011C418 announces new music discs.
Java Edition
1.0.0Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2 9 new music discs have been implemented, adding up to a total of 11 discs, although they are not dropped by any creepers. These are stored along with the first discs, 13.mus and cat.mus, (which have been decoded as 13.ogg and cat.ogg respectively). Before this update, there were 10 unused music files, now only one remains unused, which is the song "where are we now". "Where are we now" was not added with the rest of the new 9 music discs because of problems with the spaces in the name. [4][5]
1.0.0Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3All music discs have an aqua tooltip. It is thus the first to be graded as Rare, and the second to have a graded rarity.
1.111w50aAll of the music discs, except for "11", can now be dropped by creepers killed by skeletons.
All music discs now have the same probability of being dropped.
1.4.41.4.3 The disc "where are we now" has been renamed to "wait" and made available in game.[4][5]
The music disc "11" is now available in survival. It is dropped by creepers in the same way as other discs.
1.513w04aActive jukeboxes now give off a redstone signal when a redstone comparator is placed behind it; its strength depends on the ID of the inserted disc.
1.6.1June 13, 2013Music disc files can now be modified using resource packs.
Before this version, "cat" and "13" were the only discs in .ogg format, all the other discs were in .mus format, which was decrypted by Minecraft on-the-fly.
The music disc files are now stored in assets/records
1.7.2October 17, 2013The music disc files are now stored in assets/sounds/records.
1.7.4December 5, 2013The music disc files are now stored in an indexed hash, rather than stored directly in the .minecraft folder.

Issues[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Music Disc" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The music discs resemble older 78-rpm phonograph records from the early 20th century, which were often played in jukeboxes from that era.
  • Before The Flattening, data values used by music discs ranged from 2256 to 2267, while all other blocks/items used the first free data value available.
  • Jeb said at MINECON that the reason for the absence of the "where are we now" music disc was a bug related to the spaces in the name. It was only after the Java Edition 1.4.3 update that this disc appeared in the game, but its name was changed to "wait".[4] It has the original title in Legacy Console Edition.
