Usage
Playback
Right clicking on a jukebox or having a hopper insert a disc into one[Bedrock Edition only] while a music disc is selected will insert the disc and play music corresponding to the type of music disc used. Right clicking on the jukebox again will stop the music and eject the disc. Music discs only play once before they must be ejected and reinserted. The sound from the jukebox travels roughly 65 blocks in all directions. It supports all available music discs in the game.
Tamed parrots dance when near a jukebox that's playing a disc.
Redstone component
See also: Redstone circuit
Active jukeboxes give off a redstone signal when a redstone comparator is placed directly behind it or through an adjoining block; its strength depends on the ID of the inserted disc. The following table shows the redstone strength output for each disc.
| Power Level | Disc |
|---|---|
| 0 | No disc inserted |
| 1 | "13" |
| 2 | "cat" |
| 3 | "blocks" |
| 4 | "chirp" |
| 5 | "far" |
| 6 | "mall" |
| 7 | "mellohi" |
| 8 | "stal" |
| 9 | "strad" |
| 10 | "ward" |
| 11 | "11" |
| 12 | "wait" |
Fuel
Jukeboxes can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Trivia
- C418 has the normal player skin with a jukebox for a head, likely because it was he who made the music for Minecraft.
- The use of a diamond as part of the crafting recipe might be a reference to how Edison phonographs have diamond-tipped needles.
- It's not possible to insert discs with droppers or hoppers, only by hand.[Computer and Legacy Console editions only]
