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 75 blocks horizontally. 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 we are now", was not implemented with the rest due to problems with the spaces in the name.

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 last 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:
| ID | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2002 | Blocks | |
| 2003 | Chirp | Funny traditional at first, futuristic at the end |
| 2004 | Far | Fast and a Little Futuristic |
| 2005 | Mall | Ambient |
| 2006 | Mellohi | slow and creepy |
| 2007 | Stal | Jazzy |
| 2008 | Strad | African drums + Steel Drums |
| 2009 | Ward | Introduction has a funeral theme to it |
| 2010 | 11 | Creepy audiodrama |
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.
- 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.
Trivia
C418's skin

- It is possible to place torches on Jukeboxes.
- C418 has the normal player skin with a jukebox for a head.
- Pistons cannot push jukeboxes.
- For custom texture packs, the file reference for the top of the jukebox is custom_terrain_75 (when using MCpatcher).
- A music disc will continue playing even if the game is paused.
