Usage
Pistons cannot push jukeboxes.
Playback
Right clicking on a jukebox while a music disc is equipped will insert the disc and play music corresponding to the type of music disc 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 all available music discs in the game.
Redstone component
Active jukeboxes give off a redstone signal when a redstone comparator is placed behind it; its strength depends on the ID of the inserted disc. The following table shows the redstone strength output for each disc.
| Power Level | Disc |
| 1 | "13" |
| 2 | "cat" |
| 3 | "blocks" |
| 4 | "chirp" |
| 5 | "far" |
| 6 | "mall" |
| 7 | "melohi" |
| 8 | "stal" |
| 9 | "strad" |
| 10 | "ward" |
| 11 | "11" |
| 12 | "wait" |
Fuel
Jukeboxes can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

History
| alpha | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0.14 | Added jukeboxes. | ||||
| They supported 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 supported any additional discs, though during this time only "13" and "cat" were available in the vanilla game. | |||||
| beta | |||||
| 1.6 | 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. The vanilla game never contained more than 12 discs, however. | ||||
| r | |||||
| 1.5 | 13w04a | Active jukeboxes give off a redstone signal when a comparator is placed behind it; its strength (1–12) depends on which disc is inserted. | |||
| Legacy Console Edition | |||||
| TU1 | CU1 | 1.0 | Patch 1 | Added jukeboxes. | |

Trivia
C418's skin
- C418 has the normal player skin with a jukebox for a head, likely because it was he who made the music for Minecraft.
- The use of a Diamond as part of the crafting recipe might be a reference to how Edison phonographs have diamond-tipped needles.
- It's not possible to insert discs with droppers or hoppers, only by hand.
