"blocks" refers to both a song composed by C418, and a music disc that plays the song when inserted in a jukebox. The music disc is obtained from creepers killed by skeletons.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Mob loot[edit | edit source]

When killed by any skeleton, stray, or bogged (or wither skeleton if given a bow using commands), a creeper drops a random music disc, which can be "blocks".

Because TNT ignited by a flaming arrow attributes all resulting kills to the entity that fired the arrow, a skeleton igniting a TNT block due to holding a bow enchanted with Flame, or shooting through lava or fire, also causes any creepers killed in the explosion to drop a disc.[1][2]

Previews of tracks in Minecraft have been shortened to 30 seconds on this wiki in accordance with fair use rationale. "11" is exempt from this.

"blocks" is an upbeat chiptune-style piece with a shuffling waltz rhythm. Near the end, the song switches to a slow, dark undertone tune.

It is the longest music disc track in the game.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Like all music discs, using the "blocks" music disc on a jukebox causes the jukebox to play the song.

If the player places a redstone comparator besides a jukebox playing "blocks", it will emit a redstone signal of 3.
