List of All Music Discs in Minecraft

Sep. 29, 2023

Just like with any other video game, music plays a big role in the overall experience of Minecraft. It has background music, sound effects, and music discs. Music discs are different than the other two as you can play and listen to them whenever you like in-game as many times as you want. So, in this tutorial, let’s learn about all music discs in Minecraft and how to get them.

1. Music Disc 13

Music Disc 13 is one of the slower and not so pleasant music discs in the game. It’s slightly unsettling and is quite similar to the sounds you hear in the cave systems underground. Thanks to the metallic clings, a quiet wind blowing, reverbed hisses and explosions, this music track provides us with an unusual and kind of frightening feel. A fun fact is the music disc 13 goes silent for 13 seconds at the 1:30 minute mark… spooky.

This music disc generates in the chests of dungeons,ancient cities, and woodland mansions. Besides the chest loot, when a creeper is shot and killed by a skeleton or a stray, it can drop the music disc13. This isn’t the case only for this music disc but for most discs. Check out our guide about allMinecraft mobsto learn more about these hostile ones.

TheCatmusic disc is a rather nice andlight soundtrack. The initial melody is accompanied by a sweet melody with its own high and low notes. This is a great track for time-lapses, so that’s why you’d have probably heard it before while watching a video.

Similarly to the previous music disc, theCatdisc can be found in the dungeon, ancient city, and woodland mansion chests. A creeper killed by a skeleton or a stray also has a chance to drop this item.

TheBlockssoundtrack is a fairly upbeat one with ashuffling waltz rhythm. It contains a lot of repeating light parts. Though, it’s not a particularly frequently heard track. This music disc cannot be found in any chest in your world. You can only get it by being lucky when a skeleton/stray shoots and kills a creeper.

Chirpmusic disc is a funny-sounding retro tune track. It even contains a sample from the 1970 MATTEL Bossa Nova Style Program Disc playing in the background. This is a unique and kind of strangely hypnotizing track, at least at the beginning. You can get theChirpmusic disc only when a creeper is killed by a skeleton or a stray.

The Far music disc plays a fairly beautiful and relaxing track. Its tempo is not overly slow but surely provides a calming feel. Moreover, this music disc represents sort of a nature-themed melody, with clear water echoing sound additions. Again, this music disc is only dropped when a skeleton/stray kills a creeper.

TheMallmusic disc is a calm and peaceful soundtrack with different tempos throughout. It starts off slower and picks up speed relatively quickly. This track is also great time-lapse music, but it would probably be better quieter than louder. You can only obtain this disc when a creeper is killed by a skeleton or a stray.

Mellohimusic disc consists of a distinctivestrange and slow waltz. With a slightly melancholic vibe, theMellohisoundtrack is not the one you’d want to play at a party.

The way you can get this music disc actually depends on the fact whether you are playing on theMinecraft Java or Bedrockversion. If you are playing in the Java edition, you can only get this music disc as a creeper drop. However, if you are playing the Bedrock edition, you can get it in aburied treasurechest.

If you’re a fan of jazz music, you’re going to love theStalmusic disc. It’s a slow jazz-like track with a rather well-known and nostalgic melody. You can get theStalmusic disc only when a creeper is killed by a skeleton or a stray.

Stradmusic disc is a pleasant track with kind of a tropical vibe. It was made with various instruments and different techniques. Some parts of the main Minecraft song melody can be heard in this soundtrack. Only obtainable as a creeper drop.

Wardis a bit of a strange track with the beginning part extracted fromChopin’s Funeral March. And after a couple of seconds, the track picks up speed and turns into an electronic upbeat tune. However, throughout the soundtrack, you can hear somewhat of a dark undertone.

Much like other music discs, this one is only dropped by a creeper that’s been killed by a skeleton or a stray.

The 11 music disc isquite a disturbing one. It includes rather unsettling heavy breathing, some kind of knocking at the door, rustling, strange and frightening background noises, coughing, page-turning, clicking, scraping, etc. This track also abruptly stops and lasts for exactly 1 minute and 11 seconds, which adds to the overall scary feel.

Waitmusic disc is thankfully a lot different than the previous track. It’s nice to listen to with an upbeat tune. This disc starts off kind of quicker and slows down midway, but picks up speed again. It represents a remix of the mainMinecraftsoundtrack. Also, it was initially called “Where are We Now.”

Similarly to theMellohidisc, the way to get theWaitmusic disc also depends on the game version you are playing on. If you’re playing on the Bedrock version, you can expect to find this item in the buried treasure chest. However, if you are a Java player, you can only get it as a special creeper drop.

Othersidemusic disc is arguably thebest and most loved trackout of all sixteen in Minecraft. It’s an upbeat, bright, modern track that is far different than almost all C418’s tracks. With its uplifting, happy, and positive vibe, it’s perfect for creating large server gatherings or long building sessions.

Though, this track does change its overall feel to something slightly darker in the second half. TheOthersidemusic disc can only be found in a loot chest of dungeons, ancient cities, andstrongholds.

The5Music disc is a unique one, just like 11. It starts off with sounds present in the game, such as flint and steel lighting, bat mob, fire, and walking noises. After that, the tune gets a bit more unsettling before turning into a soft calm melody. Shortly after that, the mood changes again and intensifies rather quickly.

After the mining sounds, we can hear asculk shriekeractivating, with a familiar and terrifying roar from the scaryWardenitself. This track possibly presents the player mining their way through various underground blocks in the ancient city biome when they accidentallyspawn the warden, which gets aggravated fast. This is an amazing track that goes hand in hand withMinecraft 1.19‘s brutal addition.

Music Disc 5 is the only craftable disc in the game. It requires you to loot multiple ancient city chests to get yourself disc fragment items, as shown below. After you have found 9 of them, you can craft music disc 5 on thecrafting tableby placing one fragment in each crafting grid slot.

Besides being my favorite disc, thePigstepmusic disc is one of the most special soundtracks added to this game. It’s got quite a contemporary hip-hop beat with kind of an intense tune. The soft radio-like melody is accompanied by the beat around the middle part.

This track goes perfectly with the piglins’ winning dance, hence, the name. As this track is associated with piglins, it’s appropriate that you can only find it in the chests in Bastions.

Amongst all the awesome additionsMinecraft 1.20introduced, theRelicmusic disc surely doesn’t disappoint. This is a pleasant up-beat 8-bit tune track with a bright and up-lifting melody. Its name and old-fashioned feel perfectly suit the archeology update.

Speaking of which, you can only get theRelicmusic disc by brushing suspicious gravel blocks in thetrail ruinswith abrush. If you’re not sure how to do that, check out everything aboutMinecraft 1.20 archeology.

Precipiceis one of three music discs added to theMinecraft 1.21 update, which was composed by Aaron Cherof. This disc is fairly long and also absolutely amazing. It starts with some sort of bell ringing and picks up speed very quickly.

The refrain of the song is upbeat, bright, and fast. This song is perfect if you’re having a great time with your friends, as it just puts a smile on everyone’s face. The only way to get thePrecipicemusic disc is by openingvaultsintrial chambers.

If you haven’t heard theCreatormusic disc already, then visit the link below right now. It starts off rather soft, but very soon after changes the vibe to something a lot more ancient-like and industrial. At about a halfway mark, the instrument list adds an electric guitar and the song goes from great to awesome in an instant.

You can kind of feel the emotions while listening to it and that’s what makes it so incredible. The only unfortunate fact about theCreatormusic disc is that you can only get it fromominous vaultswithin trial chambers. So, it’s rare and will require a lot of work and luck to obtain it.

Some people would say that theCreatormusic disc doesn’t suit Minecraft. Well, the composer Lena Raine also made this short but sweet version of that song. It’s made using the music box instrument and it’s rather soft, slow, and delivers that same ancient feel. It is a lot easier to get, as it’s available when breaking the corridordecorated potsinside trial chambers.

Thanks to the community-made mods and resource packs, you can also make custom music discs. You can upload whatever soundtrack or sound effects you want to a disc and play it in your world.

Due to game-changing improvements tojukeboxesin the 1.20 update, you can determine exactly when the music disc will be played and stopped by using Redstone andRedstone components. So, that’s all you need to know about music discs in this blocky game. What is your favorite music disc in Minecraft? Let us know in the comments below!

The rarity of music discs depends on the way you obtain them, though it’s pretty safe to say that most music discs are rare and require either locating a structure or spending time fiddling with a creeper and a skeleton.

No, a creeper killed by a skeleton can drop 12 music discs on Java and 11 on Bedrock.

The most popular Minecraft music discs are Otherside, Pigstep, Cat, and Creator.
