Music Disc

Music discs are 14/15 unique items that can be played in jukeboxes.

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. Exceptions include the newest music discs (Pigstep, otherside and 5).

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.

Usage
The music discs can be played on a 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:

Trivia

 * The discs resemble older 78-rpm from the early 20th century. These usually held a single 2–3-minute song on one or both sides and were made out of a noisy material called  (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 beginning in the 1940s.
 * The in-game music disc tracks are all in, while the versions of the tracks that have been released for listening outside of the game are in.
 * 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 "stal", "mellohi", and "Pigstep" use samples from the, a musical synthesizer famously used by in the song "".
 * The title "13" is a reference to the 13 cave ambience sounds that existed when the disc was added. Similar sounds 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.
 * 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.
 * 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 searching for "block" in the Creative item selection menu.
 * "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" and "otherside".
 * 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 upcoming 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 unique in a few different ways. It is the only disc that isn't black, the only disc to have its name capitalized in-game, and it can only be found in bastion remnants. "Pigstep" 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.
