Music Discs - Comparator Output and Give Commands

Minecraft Music Discs: Complete Reference Guide

Minecraft Java Edition has 22 music discs from 7 different artists. Each disc has a unique comparator output value (1 to 15), a specific duration, and a different method of obtaining, from the classic Skeleton-kills-Creeper drop to archaeology and Trial Chamber vaults.

The Minecraft music disc reference above lists every disc with its artist, track length, comparator signal strength, and a /give command. The comparator output values are especially useful for redstone builders who use jukeboxes as input devices in circuits.

Disc durations range from just 71 seconds ( "11" by C418) to 345 seconds ( "blocks" by C418), so picking the right disc matters for timed redstone contraptions.

How to Use This Tool

• --Browse all 22 discs to see their artist, title, and duration at a glance.
• --Check comparator output values for redstone builds that detect which disc is playing in a jukebox.
• --Copy /give commands to obtain any disc instantly in creative mode or on a server with cheats.
• --Compare durations to choose discs for timed mechanisms or ambient music setups.

Tips and Use Cases

Redstone music selectors: A comparator reading a jukebox outputs signal strength 1 to 15 depending on the disc. This lets you build disc-detection circuits that trigger different outcomes based on which track is playing. For example, disc "5" outputs 15 (max signal) while "13" outputs 1 (minimum).

Disc farming: Most C418 discs drop when a Skeleton's arrow kills a Creeper. Build a two-mob farm that funnels Skeletons and Creepers into a kill chamber where the Skeleton's arrows finish off low-health Creepers. This is the standard disc farm design.

Rare disc hunting: Pigstep is the rarest disc in survival. It only appears in Bastion Remnant generic chests with a low drop rate. "5" requires collecting 9 disc fragments from Ancient City chests. "Relic" is found exclusively through archaeology in Trail Ruins.

Ambient music builds: Use a hopper clock feeding discs into a jukebox to create an ambient music system for your base. Space the hoppers to account for disc duration so the next track plays after the current one finishes.
