All 22 Music Discs in Minecraft (And How to Get Each One)

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: 22 music discs exist. The 12 classics drop when a skeleton kills a creeper; the rest come from specific loot or mobs: Pigstep from bastions, otherside from dungeons and mansions, 5 crafted from ancient city fragments, Relic from trail ruins, the trial chambers trio, Tears from deflected ghast fireballs, Lava Chicken from chicken jockeys, and Bounce from sulfur caves mineshafts.

What you need

A skeleton and a creeper for the classic 12
Access to bastions, dungeons, ancient cities, trail ruins, trial chambers and sulfur caves
A jukebox to play them

Step by step

The classic 12 (13, cat, blocks, chirp, far, mall, mellohi, stal, strad, ward, 11, wait): a creeper killed by a skeleton's arrow drops a random disc - trap a creeper, line up a skeleton, let it shoot.
Pigstep: bastion remnant chests - the only disc with a gold-tinged funk track, and the reason to loot every bastion.
otherside: dungeon, woodland mansion and stronghold corridor chests.
5: craft it from 9 disc fragments looted from ancient city chests.
Relic: brush suspicious gravel in trail ruins.
Precipice: standard vaults in trial chambers. Creator: ominous vaults in trial chambers. Creator (Music Box): decorated pots in trial chambers.
Tears: kill a ghast with its own fireball deflected back at it.
Lava Chicken: kill a chicken jockey - a baby zombie riding a chicken.
Bounce: chest minecarts in mineshafts that run through sulfur caves.
Cat and 13 also spawn in dungeon and mansion chests if farming creepers is not your style.

Java vs Bedrock

Chicken jockey drops include a Bedrock quirk: husk and zombie villager jockeys can also drop Lava Chicken there.

Versions: The full 22-disc list is current on Java and Bedrock as of 2026; Bounce arrived with the 2026 drops, Tears and Lava Chicken in 2025.
