"wait", previously known as "where are we now", 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 "wait".

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.

"wait" is an upbeat remix of "Minecraft". It starts out with some quiet synth Latin percussion and some soft synths playing a melody, and then expands into a chiptune-esque song.

Usage[edit | edit source]

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

If the player places a redstone comparator besides a jukebox playing "wait", it will emit a redstone signal of 12.
