How to get music discs

Except for "5", no other music disc can be acquired through crafting. In fact, they can only be obtained from loot chests of a few structures or mob drops.

To craft "5", players need nine disc fragments. These extremely rare items generate as loot inside Ancient cities' chests. A player's chances of finding a disk fragment in one of these chests are only 29.8%. This probability is the same on both Bedrock and Java Edition.

The structures that may have a music disc inside their chests are Dungeons, Ancient City, Woodland Mansion, Bastion Remnants, and Strongholds. Buried treasures in Minecraft Bedrock Edition may also have "mellohi" and "wait" music discs.

The chances of players finding one from a loot chest are the highest when exploring the chests of Dungeons and Woodland Mansions.

Creepers always drop a random music disc when killed by a skeleton or stray. It could be any disc, aside from the new ones: 5, Pigstep, and otherside.

Aside from playing music with a jukebox, music discs serve one more purpose in Minecraft 1.19. These have become essential for duplicating allays, the newly added mob in the game.

While playing a disc, a jukebox can be placed next to comparators to send redstone signals. The strength of the signal depends on the music disc being played.
