How to play a disc

Place the jukebox, then right-click it with a music disc to start the track. Right-click again with an empty hand to eject the disc. Put a comparator beside it and the signal tells you which disc is playing, so a track can drive redstone.

Where music discs come from

Structure chests

Dungeons, ancient cities, woodland mansions and other loot chests hold music discs.

Skeleton kills creeper

If a skeleton's arrow kills a creeper, the creeper drops a random music disc. The classic farm trick.

Disc 5 from fragments

Find 9 disc fragments in ancient cities and craft them together to make Disc 5.
