Not to be confused with disk

Music discs are 13 unique items that can be played in jukeboxes. By default, they play music made by C418 and Lena Raine; however, custom music can be added with the use of a resource pack or a mod.

Obtaining [ edit ]

Natural generation [ edit ]

Creepers [ edit ]

When killed by any skeleton's or stray's arrow, a creeper drops a random music disc in addition to its normal drops. The Pigstep music disc cannot be dropped.

Discs [ edit ]

Tracks by C418 have been shortened to 30 seconds on this wiki, due to an agreement with the composer. "11", as well as "Pigstep" (which is composed by Lena Raine), are exempt from this.

Usage [ edit ]

The music discs can be played on an jukebox by right-clicking on it. If the player places a comparator besides a jukebox, the intensity of the redstone signal depends on the disc currently played, with the following values :

Disc Intensity (no disc) 0 13 1 cat 2 blocks 3 chirp 4 far 5 mall 6 mellohi 7 stal 8 strad 9 ward 10 11 11 wait 12 Pigstep 13

Trivia [ edit ]

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.

The discs appear to be based on older 78 RPM records. These usually held a single 2–3-minute song on one or both sides were made out of a noisy material called shellac (which was notorious for its fragility and hissing sound when no music was playing, both of which can be seen in "11"), and were larger than the 45-RPM vinyl records that replaced them.

records. These usually held a single 2–3-minute song on one or both sides were made out of a noisy material called shellac (which was notorious for its fragility and hissing sound when no music was playing, both of which can be seen in "11"), and were larger than the 45-RPM vinyl records that replaced them. The title "13" is a reference to the 13 ambience tracks that existed when the disc was added. A few of these can be heard throughout the track.

In Legacy Console Editions, the track "dog" is appended to the "cat" music disc. Once "cat" is done playing and the soundtrack fades out, "dog" begins playing for another two minutes or so, making this version of "cat" the longest music disc in the game.

The "blocks" disc is one of the only non-block items in the game that has the word "block" in its name, the other being the minecart with command block. That makes it the only item that appears when searched for in the Creative item selection menu.

Chirp uses the same accompaniment samples as "The Orb of Dreamers" from the LittleBigPlanet series. [5] The samples come from the Optigan disc "Bossa Nova Style". [6] C418 stated that it was coincidental. [7]

uses the same accompaniment samples as "The Orb of Dreamers" from the series. The samples come from the Optigan disc "Bossa Nova Style". C418 stated that it was coincidental. The music disc "wait", originally titled "where are we now", was finally added to Java Edition 1.4.3 after existing solely in the game's files for an unspecified amount of time.

The title "Stal" is a Swedish word meaning stole in English and a Polish word meaning steel . This could be the Swedish word stål (with an added ring diacritic), which would mean steel in English.

in English and a Polish word meaning . Discs "Stal", "Mellohi", and "Pigstep" use samples from the Mellotron, a musical synthesizer famously used by The Beatles on the track "Strawberry Fields Forever". The sample is seen being used here.

Disc "11" is the 11th music disc in the game, according to its data value before Java Edition 1.13 and the Redstone signal strength it causes jukeboxes to output. Disc "11" is the only visibly damaged music disc (this is possibly the reason why the disc sounds distorted). Disc "11" lasts for 1 minute, 11 seconds and 111 milliseconds. If the .ogg file for the music disc "11" is turned into a spectrogram in an audio editor, the static at the end displays what seems to be Steve's face and the numbers 12418. The numbers are a visual signature, where "C" is hexadecimal for "12", and combined with "418" creates "C418" (the producer of the music from music discs, except for "Pigstep").

"Pigstep" is unique in a few different ways. It is the only music disc to have a different color for the groove part, it is the only disc not composed by C418, it is the only disc to have its name capitalized, it is the disc that has the fastest beat, and it is the only disc that is non-renewable and is obtainable exclusively through chest loot, they can only be found in Bastion Remnant(s)

"Pigstep" is a portmanteau of "dubstep" and "piglin". [8]

On average, a skeleton must kill a creeper 49 times before all 12 music discs (excluding Pigstep) are dropped.

The cat and 13 discs may have the oldest textures used in the current game, remaining completely unchanged after introduction even through the Texture Update.[ verify ]
