Minecraft‘s music brings nostalgia to players all across the globe. Many can remember playing the game when they were younger with the melodic, calming soundtrack in the background. Music discs have been a part of Minecraft for years and have become rather niche. By combining a diamond and eight wooden planks in a Crafting Table, a Jukebox can be created to play a variety of discs ranging from spooky ambiance to upbeat tunes. Let’s go over how to collect every music disc in Minecraft.

Most Music Discs Drop From Creepers

Of the 19 music discs in Minecraft, 12 are dropped from Creepers. When killed by any variant of Skeleton, a Creeper drops one of these 12 music discs: “cat”, “blocks”, “13”, “chirp”, “far”, “mall”, “mellohi”, “stal”, “strad”, “ward”, “11”, and “wait”. All these tracks were composed by the legendary C418, the artist who created the original Minecraft soundtrack. A simple Creeper music disc farm can be made by surrounding two pressure plates with trapdoors about 3 to 5 blocks apart. Simply guide a Creeper and a Skeleton into the traps and aggravate the Skeleton into shooting you. Stand behind or next to the Creeper, and the Skeleton will kill it by accident, dropping a music disc.

Some Minecraft Discs Are Found As Loot

Some discs, including the aforementioned “13” and “cat”, can be found in loot chests around the world of Minecraft. These music discs have a 21.5% chance to spawn in a Dungeon chest, a 21.8% chance to spawn in a Woodland Mansion chest, and a 16.1% chance to spawn in an Ancient City chest. Another music disc “otherside”, composed by Lena Raine, can also be found in loot chests. This disc has a 3.1% chance to spawn in a Dungeon chest, an 8.4% chance to spawn in an Ancient City chest, and a 2.5% chance to spawn in a Stronghold Altar chest. “Pigstep”, a disc specific to the Nether dimension, can only be found in Bastion chests at a 5.6% chance.

Also composed by Lena Raine are the discs “Creator” and “Creator (Music Box)”, both of which are found in the new Trial Chambers. “Creator” has a 7.5% chance to be dropped when an Ominous Vault is opened. The disc “Creator (Music Box)” is the same song, but it lacks most of the instruments of the original song in favor of a calmer track. This disc is an exceptionally rare drop (1.4%) from breaking decorated pots within a Trial Chamber. The final disc acquired through Trial Chambers is named “Precipice”. This track, written by Aaron Cherof, is a reward given by normal vaults. This disc has a 4.2% chance of dropping.

Other Discs And Closing Thoughts

In Ancient Cities, disc fragments can be found. When nine are combined in a crafting table, the music disc “5” is formed. There is a 29.8% chance that 1-3 disc fragments will spawn in an Ancient City chest. “5” is composed by Samuel Åberg. A disc added in update 1.20, “Relic,” is found in Trail Ruins. This disc written by Aaron Cherof has an 8.3% chance of being brushed out of suspicious gravel. Every music disc in Minecraft emits a redstone signal upon being played in a Jukebox. “13” is the weakest with a redstone signal of one, while “5” has a signal of 15. Music discs breathe life into Minecraft’s blocky- yet desolate- world.
