How to Get Music Disc 5 in Minecraft

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Loot 9 disc fragments from ancient city chests, then combine the 9 fragments in a crafting table to make music disc 5. Each ancient city chest has a 30.4% chance to hold 1-3 fragments. They are not renewable, so you have to loot more ancient cities for more.

What you need

Ancient city access
Crafting table
Jukebox (to play it)

Collect 9 disc fragments. They stack up to 64.
Put all 9 fragments in a crafting table to craft music disc 5.
