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. There are currently two types of music discs that can be used on the jukebox. Sound from the jukebox travels roughly 75 blocks, but the distance is apparently different vertically. It supports 15 different songs, including CAT and 13, although only 11 different records are implemented in the game currently.

The music on either record doesn't last very long: CAT lasts roughly four minutes and 13 last about two; therefore players may find themselves constantly ejecting and re-inserting the records in order to keep the music going. As of 1.9 Pre-release Beta 2 the music records are extended to: ID-Name: 2002 - Blocks, 2003 - Chirp, 2004 - Far, 2005 - Mall, 2006 - Mellohi, 2007 - Stal, 2008 - Strad, 2009 - Ward, 2010 - 11,

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.
  • If you play a song on one Jukebox, then eject a record from a different jukebox, the music stops playing.

Trivia

  • Note Blocks use the same texture as Jukeboxes, but the top texture is not the same as the side textures.
  • It is possible to place torches on Jukeboxes.
  • If you place a disc from the 1.9 pre-release in a jukebox and then revert back to any version before 1.9 pre and try to eject it, the game will crash.
  • C418 (who composed the music for minecraft) has the normal player skin with a jukebox for a head
