Usage

Playback

Using a music disc on a jukebox inserts the disc and plays music corresponding to the type of music disc used. Pressing use on the jukebox again ejects the disc and stops any music playing. Music discs play only once before they must be ejected and reinserted. In Bedrock Edition, note particles emit out the top when sound is playing. The sound from the jukebox travels roughly 65 blocks in all directions. It supports all available music discs in the game.

In Bedrock Edition, hoppers and droppers can be used to insert a disc into a jukebox.

Tamed parrots dance when in a 3 block radius from a jukebox that's playing a disc.

Redstone component

See also: Redstone circuit

Active jukeboxes give off a redstone signal when a redstone comparator is placed directly behind it or through an adjoining block; its strength depends on the ID of the inserted disc. The following table shows the redstone strength output for each disc.

Power Level	Disc
0	No disc inserted
1	"13"
2	"cat"
3	"blocks"
4	"chirp"
5	"far"
6	"mall"
7	"mellohi"
8	"stal"
9	"strad"
10	"ward"
11	"11"
12	"wait"
13‌[Java Edition only]	"pigstep"
15‌[Bedrock Edition only]	"pigstep"

In Bedrock Edition, they also emit a redstone signal when any music disc is played inside.

Looping

In Bedrock Edition, jukeboxes disable adjacent hoppers when a music disc is playing inside them, due to them emitting a redstone signal. Because the hoppers used to be re-enabled when the song ends, a system of hoppers could be used to automatically eject and reinsert the disc when it is finished playing, causing it to loop. This no longer works, as jukeboxes give off a redstone signal when there is a disk in the box. Since they do not eject a disk when a song ends, the jukebox keeps emitting a redstone signal, meaning that the hoppers stay locked, preventing this feature from working.

Fuel

Jukeboxes can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Note Blocks

Jukeboxes can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

Piston interactivity

Jukeboxes cannot be pushed by pistons. They also cannot be pushed nor pulled by sticky pistons.

History

Java Edition Alpha
v1.0.14					Added jukeboxes.
					Jukeboxes support up to 15 music discs, using their data values: 0 being empty, 1 meaning it contained disc "13", and 2 meaning it contained disc "cat". Values 3–15 support any additional discs, though only "13" and "cat" are available in the vanilla game.
Java Edition Beta
1.6		Test Build 3			The jukebox now supports more than 15 different music discs, because jukeboxes now have a block entity, which keeps track of the music disc by its item id.
					A jukebox no longer uses separate data values.
Java Edition
1.0.0		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6			Jukeboxes are now broken faster using an axe.
1.5		13w04a			Active jukeboxes now give off a redstone signal when a comparator is placed behind it; its strength (1–12) depends on which disc is inserted.
1.11		16w32a			The block entity ID has been changed from RecordPlayer to jukebox.
1.12		17w14a			Parrots now dance to playing jukeboxes.
1.13		17w47a			Prior to The Flattening, this block's numeral ID was 84.
1.14		18w43a			The texture of jukeboxes has been changed.
Bedrock Edition
1.2.0		beta 1.2.0.2			Added jukeboxes.
1.10.0		beta 1.10.0.3			The texture of jukeboxes has now been changed.
Legacy Console Edition
TU1	CU1	1.0	Patch 1	1.0.1	Added jukeboxes.
					Jukeboxes spit out the music disc when done playing.[verify]
TU9					The distance jukeboxes can be heard from has now been increased.
		1.90			The texture of jukeboxes has now been changed.

Trivia

C418's skin

• C418 has the Steve skin with a jukebox for a head, likely because it was he who made most of the music for Minecraft.
• Edison phonographs use diamond-tipped needles. Similarly, the jukebox also needs a diamond as a crafting ingredient.
