Music Disc

Music discs are a set of nineteen items that can be played in jukeboxes.
==Obtaining==
===Crafting===
Disc 5 is the only disc that can be crafted, unlike all other discs. This disc can be crafted with its fragments.
=== Chest loot===
===Archaeology===
===Mob loot===
When killed by any skeleton or stray (or wither skeleton if given a bow using commands), a creeper drops a random music disc in addition to its normal drops, with the exceptions of Pigstep, otherside, 5, Relic, Creator, Creator (Music Box), and Precipice.
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.
==Discs==
Item 	In-game name 	Composer 	Description 	Soundtrack title 	Soundtrack 	Track preview	Length
style="text-align:center"	13 	C418 	A somewhat unsettling, cave-themed ambient piece consisting mostly of echoed synthesized ambient sounds that closely resemble those that play in the game's caves, resonating metallic clinks, and quiet wind blowing. The entire track is wholly engulfed in reverb. At different points in the piece, muffled bow firings, a heavily reverbed hiss followed by a subsequent heavily reverbed explosion and echoed splashes can be heard in the background. The track goes silent for 13 seconds at the 1:30 mark. 	"Thirteen" 	Minecraft - Volume Alpha No. 16 	 	2:58
style="text-align:center"	cat 	C418 	A light, looping melody plays on a soft synth and is joined by a synth percussion beat. A toothlike synth plays a bass line and some harmonies throughout and is later accompanied by additional chiptune-like synths that provide more layers of harmony.
At 1:46, what sounds like an interpolation of part of the melody from the track "Minecraft" plays.
The four-note pattern at 2:04 can also be heard at the beginning of "far" and "dog".
In the Legacy Console Editions the track "Dog" plays after "Cat" is finished. 	"Cat" 	Minecraft - Volume Alpha No. 19 	 	3:05
style="text-align:center"	blocks 	C418 	An upbeat chiptune-style piece with a shuffling waltz rhythm. 	"Blocks" 	Minecraft - Volume Beta No. 28 	 	5:45
style="text-align:center"	chirp 	C418 	A retro tune with a sample from the 1970 MATTEL Bossa Nova Style Program Disc playing in the background, along with a vaporwave-like version of Mall. 	"Chirp" 	Minecraft - Volume Beta No. 20 	 	3:05
style="text-align:center"	far 	C418 	A calm, relaxing nature-like melody played on a watery echoing synth, accompanied by other synths playing chords. 	"Far" 	Minecraft - Volume Beta No. 29 	 	2:54
style="text-align:center"	mall 	C418 	Serene music played on a kalimba along with other instruments. 	"Mall" 	Minecraft - Volume Beta No. 27 	 	3:17
style="text-align:center"	mellohi 	C418 	A slow, slightly melancholic waltz with a sample from a mellotron playing in the background. 	"Mellohi" 	Minecraft - Volume Beta No. 22 	 	1:36
style="text-align:center"	stal 	C418 	A moderate jazz-like piece played on a piano, saxophone, and double bass, with recorder interludes. 	"Stal" 	Minecraft - Volume Beta No. 23 	 	2:30
style="text-align:center"	strad 	C418 	A tropical-sounding piece with the main melody being played on a , accompanied by a layered mix of strings, woodwinds, and soft synths, and supported by a glitchy electronic tribal percussion beat, ending on some melancholy chords. Bits and pieces of the melody from "Minecraft" can be heard throughout, sometimes played on bells in the background. 	"Strad" 	Minecraft - Volume Beta No. 24 	 	3:08
style="text-align:center"	ward 	C418 	Starts off with an excerpt from Chopin's Funeral March played on a synth organ, but it is interrupted by vinyl static and switches to an electronic, upbeat tune with a dark undertone. 	"Ward" 	Minecraft - Volume Beta No. 26 	 	4:11
style="text-align:center"	11 	C418 	A recording that begins with vinyl static, followed by the sounds of someone walking on or breaking stone blocks, heavy breathing, and rustling. Haunting background noises are heard throughout the recording, resembling the ambient sound effects that play in the game's caves (and by extension, the sounds of the disc "13"). After the background noises quiet down for a moment, metallic clicking or scraping noises can be heard, followed by coughing, sounds of page-turning, then more clicking or scraping. The background noises resume more loudly, and the sounds of faster footsteps or breaking stone blocks can be heard, which accelerate until they are replaced with dirt sounds as the background noises approach. A loud, distorted noise is heard roughly a second before the recording abruptly stops. At this point, one hears only quiet beeping, vinyl static, and a hissing noise, and the track ends. 	"Eleven" 	Minecraft - Volume Beta No. 25 	 	1:11
style="text-align:center"	wait 	C418 	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. This disc was originally named "where are we now". 	"Wait" 	Minecraft - Volume Beta No. 21 	 	3:58 (Fades at 3:51)
style="text-align:center"	otherside 	Lena Raine 	Starts off as an uplifting and happy retro-style ostinato in a major key. Upon reaching the second half, the song changes to a minor key and progresses into a darker melody, eventually cutting off abruptly. A clock can be heard ticking quickly at the end. 	"otherside" 	Minecraft: Caves & Cliffs (Original Game Soundtrack) No. 7	 	3:15
style="text-align:center"	5 	Samuel Åberg	A recording that begins with static and a warped noise. After a moment of silence, there is the sound of a flint and steel lighting, fire, a bat, and then walking. The walking becomes heavier and metallic. The sound stops with sounds of breathing followed by a roar which warps into soft, relaxing music. The music soon transitions back, to the sound of footsteps, lava bubbling, and amethyst. A warped noise and a sculk shrieker can be heard activating. Then a coughing sound, something metallic and stone and sand sounds followed by another warped noise can be heard. Then, after a moment of silence, a heartbeat begins and a rising static can be heard in the background. Sounds of deepslate can then be heard, along with strange noises building up and abruptly stopping. A crescendo of overlapping warped sounds is followed then dies down. The footsteps begin again, much quieter now. A sculk sensor clicks, and a warden roars. The wardens roar warps and slows down, and then the disc ends.	"Five" 	Minecraft: The Wild Update (Original Game Soundtrack) No.4	 	2:58
style="text-align:center"	Pigstep 	Lena Raine 	An intense, somewhat hip-hop-style beat beginning with a repeating tuba-like tune and dubstep-style drop, along with more mellow parts reminiscent of a radio. 	"Pigstep - Mono Mix" 	Minecraft: Nether Update (Original Game Soundtrack) No. 4 	 	2:28
style="text-align:center"	Relic 	Aaron Cherof	The recording begins with vinyl static and record grain before abruptly bursting out into an upbeat 8-bit tune of low audio quality. The main melody of "A Time of Legends" and "The Well of Fate" from the original soundtrack of Minecraft Legends is heard later, played on the same 8-bit synthesizer. Later in the song a bass is added to the noise. Slight record grain and warbled pitches can be heard throughout the song. 	"Relic" 	Minecraft: Trails & Tales (Original Game Soundtrack) No. 5	 	3:38
 	Creator 	Lena Raine 	 	"Creator" 	Minecraft: 1.21 SoundtrackNo. 10 	 	2:56
 	Creator (Music Box)	Lena Raine 	A shorter version of Creator played by only a music box. 	"Creator (Music Box Version)"	Minecraft: 1.21 SoundtrackNo. 11 	 	1:13
 	Precipice 	Aaron Cherof	 	"Precipice" 	Minecraft: 1.21 SoundtrackNo. 12 	 	4:59
==Usage==
The music discs resemble older 78- from the early 20th century, which were often played in jukeboxes from that era. They are used in Minecraft in a similar fashion: A music disc can be played on a jukebox by holding the disc and right-clicking on the jukebox.
The in-game music disc tracks are all recordings. Tracks released for listening outside of the game are in .
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 Creator (Music Box)	11
wait Creator 	12
Pigstep Precipice 	13
otherside Relic 	14

==Issues==
==Trivia==
* 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 title "13" is a reference to the 13 cave ambience sounds that existed when the disc was added. Similar sounds can be heard throughout the track. 
** Because "13" was created in 2010, it actually uses older sound effects from earlier versions of the game for bow firing, arrow impacts, explosions, and water splashing, which have since been replaced. 
***The background noise also bears resemblance to a deeper version of the unused and removed cave chimes. Before the explosion, there was also the sound of a creeper fuse which is still used.
**C418 initially wanted the music disc to be found deep underground in a cave in-game, being played by some device.https://c418.org/albums/minecraft-volume-alpha/
*Exclusively on , an extra track called "dog" is appended to the "cat" music disc. Once "cat" is done playing and fades out, "dog" begins playing for another two minutes or so, making this version of "cat" the longest music disc in the game.
*On pre-made maps (Tutorial Worlds and Map Packs) of the , there was a Music Disc Hunt on which you had to find 12 music discs hidden in chests throughout the worlds.
*"chirp" uses the same accompaniment samples as "The Orb of Dreamers" from the LittleBigPlanet series. The samples come from the disc "Bossa Nova Style". C418 stated that it was coincidental.
*The texture used for the music disc "chirp" was previously used for the camera tripod texture prior to Pocket Edition v0.9.0 alpha.
*The title "stal" is a Swedish word meaning stole in English and a Polish word meaning steel.
*The music disc "11" is the only visibly damaged music disc. 
**If the .ogg file for "11" is turned into a 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 name of the producer of all of the music disc tracks except for "Pigstep", "otherside", "5" and "Relic".
**Within the disc are sounds, in order of appearance, of stone and dirt or gravel. At the time disc "11" was made, footstep sounds, placing sounds, and breaking sounds were the same for the respecive block. It is unknown exactly what the character was doing when these sounds were played.
**There is a track that is exclusive to the album Minecraft - Volume Beta called "Eleven", which has the same length of 1:11 and begins with the same vinyl static sound before being abruptly interrupted by a record scratching sound and switching to a new, calm piano piece.
** C418 once imagined that the "monster" chasing the person in "11" is himself "being a weird monster that occasionally records songs from strangers and then dies in '11'".
** "11" causes jukeboxes to output a redstone signal strength of 11.
** Before Java Edition 1.13, the data value of "11" was 11.
**Brandon Pearce stated that the warden mob is based on the "monster" heard at the end of "11".
*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.
**"wait" used the original title "where are we now" in older versions of the Legacy Console Edition.
*"Pigstep" is the only disc to have its name capitalized in-game, and it can only be found in bastion remnants. It is also the music disc with the fastest beat.
*"Pigstep" is a of "piglin" and "dubstep". 
*“5” is the only music disc that is crafted, as it requires 9 disc fragments in a 3×3 formation to craft.
**In disc “5”, there are some sounds taken from Minecraft Dungeons of the Endersent , the Vengeful Heart of Ender, and relating to an enderman .
***Other sounds can be heard. In order of appearance, these are: flint and steel clicking , a bat, lava bubbling, amethyst cluster breaking, a sculk shrieker, stone, sand, a sculk shrieker overlaying a warden, sculk sensor clicking, and a warden roaring.
