Jukebox

The Jukebox is a block used to play Music Discs. It uses one texture on top, and the Note Block's texture on all other sides. Jukeboxes can be used as a Furnace fuel, but this is inefficient as it wastes a diamond. When a jukebox with a Music Disc is destroyed, both the jukebox and Music Disc are dropped.

Playback
Right clicking on a jukebox while a Music Disc is equipped will make it play music corresponding to the type of music disc you used. Right clicking on the jukebox again will stop the music and eject the disc. Music discs only play once before they must be ejected and reinserted. Sound from the jukebox travels roughly 65 blocks in all directions. It supports 15 different songs, including CAT and 13. Fourteen can be found in Minecraft's files, and as of Minecraft 1.0.0 thirteen music discs are implemented in the game. The last, "where are we now", was not implemented with the rest due to problems with the spaces in the name. It was later added in 1.4.3 prerelease, as "wait".

History
Before Beta 1.9 Pre-releases, there were only two types of music discs that could be used on the jukebox. The music on either record didn't last very long: CAT lasts roughly four minutes and 13 lasts about two; therefore players may find themselves constantly ejecting and re-inserting the records in order to keep the music going.

As of Beta 1.9 Pre-release 2, the music records are extended to:

As of snapshot 13w04a, active jukeboxes give off a redstone signal when a comparator is placed behind it; its strength depends on the ID of the inserted disc.

Bugs

 * When a music disc is inserted into a jukebox, the song will continue to play until the song ends, even if you turn the sound off using the in-game menu.Jukeboxchunkglitch.png
 * If you play a song on one Jukebox, then eject a record from a different jukebox, the music stops playing.
 * If you play a song on a jukebox, then play a song on another at the same time, only the latter one will be heard.
 * If you shoot an arrow at a jukebox and insert or eject a music disc, the arrow will "vibrate".


 * In SMP, destroying a jukebox with a disk in it will crash your client. The chunk with the jukebox will completely regenerate, therefore leaving a large hole in whatever used to be in the chunk. Be very careful about destroying jukeboxes in SMP. This bug has been reported several times in SMP.


 * Putting in a music disc while sound is OFF will not play any music,despite that the jukebox plays music, not sound. However, if you put in a music disc THEN turn off sound, music will still play, as mentioned above.

Trivia

 * Jukeboxes use the same texture as Note Blocks, but the top texture is not the same as the side textures.
 * It is possible to place torches on Jukeboxes.
 * C418 has the normal player skin with a jukebox for a head, likely because it was he who made the music for Minecraft.
 * Pistons cannot push jukeboxes.
 * A music disc will continue playing even if the game is paused.
