A jukebox is a block used to play music discs.

Obtaining

Breaking

A jukebox can be broken using any tool, but an axe is the fastest. Jukeboxes also drop all of their contents.

Usage

Playback

Using a music disc on a jukebox inserts the disc and plays music corresponding to the type of music disc used. Pressing use on the jukebox again ejects the disc and stops any music playing. Music discs play only once before they must be ejected and reinserted. Note particles emit out the top when sound is playing. Unlike most other blocks, the sound from the jukebox can be heard from up to 64 blocks away.

Hoppers and droppers can be used to insert a disc into a jukebox.

Tamed parrots and allays dance when in a 3 block radius from a jukebox that is playing a disc.

Allay duplication

If an amethyst shard is used on an allay dancing next to a playing jukebox, the allay consumes the amethyst shard, emits heart particles, and duplicates into two allays. Both allays have a 5-minute cooldown before they can be duplicated again.

Redstone component

A jukebox can act as a redstone power source. A redstone signal of strength 15 is emitted while music from a disc is playing, powering any adjacent redstone wires, redstone repeaters, and mechanism components. The signal turns off when the music track ends or if the disc is removed before the track ends. Being a power source, a jukebox redirects adjacent redstone wires to point to itself.

A jukebox also emits a redstone signal when a redstone comparator is placed directly behind it or through an adjoining block. The signal strength depends on the ID of the inserted disc; the following table shows the redstone strength output for each disc. The comparator is powered as long as the music disc is stored in the jukebox, even if it has stopped playing.

stal	8

ward	10
11 Creator (Music Box)	11
wait Creator	12
Pigstep Precipice	13
otherside Relic	14
5	15

Looping

Jukeboxes disable adjacent hoppers when a music disc is playing inside them, due to them emitting a redstone signal even without using a comparator. When the song ends, the hopper placed below the jukebox is re-enabled, so the disc is automatically ejected and stored in the hopper. A system of hoppers and droppers can then be used to automatically re-insert the disc, causing it to loop.

If the hopper under the jukebox is powered by anything else, it does not eject the disc, breaking the loop.

Fuel

Jukeboxes can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Note blocks

Jukeboxes can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

Piston interactivity

Jukeboxes cannot be pushed by pistons. They also cannot be pushed or pulled by sticky pistons.

Music discs are not included here.

Block data

A jukebox has a block entity associated with it that holds additional data about the block.

Java Edition:

• [NBT Compound / JSON Object] Block entity data
  • Tags common to all block entities see Template:Nbt inherit/blockentity/template[show]
  • [NBT Compound / JSON Object] RecordItem: The item, without the Slot tag.
    • Tags common to all items see Template:Nbt inherit/itemnoslot/template[show]
  • [Long] ticks_since_song_started: The number of ticks since the song started playing. Automatically stops the sound event of the song once it reaches the song's length in ticks, and controls when particles are created. Does not exist when there is no song playing or no item.

Bedrock Edition:

See Bedrock Edition level format/Block entity format.

History

[hide]Java Edition Alpha
v1.0.14							Added jukeboxes.
							Jukeboxes support up to 15 music discs, using their data values: 0 being empty, 1 meaning it contained disc "13", and 2 meaning it contained disc "cat". Values 3–15 support any additional discs, though only "13" and "cat" are available in the vanilla game at the time.
[hide]Java Edition Beta
1.6			Test Build 3				The jukebox now supports more than 15 different music discs, because jukeboxes now have a block entity, which keeps track of the music disc by its item id, instead of using the block's data values. However, this potential wouldn't be used until Java Edition 1.20 added the 16th music disc well over a decade later.
[hide]Java Edition
1.0.0			Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6				Jukeboxes are now broken faster using an axe.
1.2.4			release				Spruce planks, birch planks, and jungle planks can now be used to craft jukeboxes.

Trivia

C418's skin

• C418 has a Steve skin with a jukebox for a head, as a visual gag alluding to his role as lead musician at the time.
• In real life, a phonograph can use a diamond-tipped stylus. Similarly, the jukebox uses a diamond as a crafting ingredient.
