Music discs are rare items in Minecraft that allow players to play a certain tune or audio file present in the game. There are 19 music discs that can be used with a jukebox block in order to play the audio or tune. Despite being simple items, they are tricky to find. Most of them can be obtained by killing creepers in a certain manner, while others can only be obtained as chest loot in structures.
Here is a list of all the music discs in Minecraft and how to obtain them.

There is one popular method through which players can randomly receive several music discs. This method involves a skeleton killing a creeper with an arrow. While fighting at night, players will encounter many hostile mobs like creepers, skeletons, zombies, etc.
While fighting them, there is a chance that a skeleton might try to shoot a player but accidentally shoots and kills a creeper trying to get close to that player. In this special scenario, the creeper has a 100% chance of dropping one of the 12 music discs that can be obtained through this method.
Any skeleton-type mob that shoots arrows like strays and bogged will also count if they shoot a creeper and kill it.
Here is a list of all the music discs that can be obtained by this method:
