Introduction
Music discs are collectible items in Minecraft that play unique songs when inserted into a jukebox. Each Minecraft Bedrock music disc features a distinct audio experience composed by notable artists like C418, Lena Raine, Samuel Åberg, Aaron Cherof, and Amos Roddy. While ambient background music plays randomly, these discs let you curate your own soundtrack for your world. They add atmosphere, emotion, and even a sense of occasion to builds, events, and exploration.
How to Obtain Minecraft Bedrock Music Discs
Skeleton-Creeper Method (Mob Drop)
A classic method involves getting a skeleton or stray to kill a creeper with an arrow. If done correctly, the creeper will drop a random disc from a set list.
Discs listed are obtainable this way:
Structure Chest Loot
Some Minecraft Bedrock Music Discs appear as loot in specific generated structures:
13 & Cat
Found in dungeons, woodland mansions, ancient cities.
Mellohi & Wait
Found in buried treasure chests.
Pigstep
Found in bastion remnants (Nether)
Otherside
Found in dungeons, ancient cities, and stronghold altars
Disc Fragments
Used to craft Disc 5. Found in ancient cities
Relic
Obtained by brushing suspicious gravel in trail ruins
Creator
Found in ominous vault loot in trial chambers
Creator (Music Box)
Found in decorated pots inside trial chambers
Precipice
Found in vault and reward chests in trial chambers
Crafting
Disc 5 is the only craftable Minecraft Bedrock Music Disc. Collect nine Disc Fragment 5s from ancient cities and combine them in a crafting table.
Mob Drop: Special Case – Tears
Tears, added in version 1.21, is a mob drop with a unique twist: To obtain it, deflect a Ghast’s fireball so that it kills the Ghast. When the Ghast dies this way, it drops the Tears music disc.
Trading
Some villagers or wandering traders may offer music discs, but this is inconsistent and not a reliable source in Bedrock Edition.
