How to get music discs from creepers in Minecraft

Minecraft is full of different blocks and items. One of the most interesting items in the game is music discs. There are a total of thirteen music discs in the game that players can listen to. A new music disc called "Otherside" will be added to Minecraft with the upcoming 1.18 update.

Players can listen to "Otherside" by installing the latest snapshot or beta as it has already been added to them. Music discs are unique items, and creepers will drop them upon death. However, a few conditions need to be fulfilled for this to happen.

Getting music discs in Minecraft

Players cannot get a music disc from a creeper by simply killing it with a weapon. Creepers will only drop a music disc when they are killed by skeletons or stray. For those unaware, strays are a variant of skeletons found in cold regions of Minecraft.

If a creeper is killed by a TNT block ignited by a skeleton with an enchanted bow, the creeper will still drop a music disc. However, the odds of this happening are very low.
