Jukebox Playlist Builder

Fill a chest with music discs, put it on a jukebox and it plays them in order, forever. Get the play order, the loop time and the command to build it. Java Edition 26.4 (snapshot).

Jukebox playlists need Java 26.4 (snapshot)

You have 26.3 selected. In 26.3 a jukebox plays one disc at a time, and a chest on top does nothing. The music disc table below works for 26.3.

Every music disc in Java 26.3

Java 26.3 has 22 music discs, 1:08:09 of music in all. The shortest is 11 (1:11) and the longest is blocks (5:45). Lengths and signals come from the game's own data for this version; change the version at the top of the page to see another.

Click a disc's item ID to copy it for /give, /clear or a datapack. Signal is the comparator output while the disc plays in a jukebox (1 to 15). A creeper drops a disc only when a skeleton of any kind (skeleton, stray, wither skeleton and the newer types) kills it.

How to use the Jukebox Playlist Builder

From the Java 26.4 snapshots, a chest on top of a jukebox is a playlist: the jukebox plays every music disc in it in slot order and loops forever. Plan the order here, see how long the loop takes, and get a /give command for the filled chest. 26.4 (a snapshot) also adds flurry.

Quick steps

1Pick the chest and, if you like, a name for it
2Tap discs to fill the slots, or start from a preset
3Drag discs between slots, or tap one and then another slot, to change the order
4Copy the /give command, place the chest on a jukebox and the music starts

Example use cases

Background music for a base, shop or server spawn that never stops
A redstone build that reacts to the song playing, using each disc's comparator signal
Finding out how long each disc is and where to find the ones you are missing

Tips

Use a single chest: joining a second chest to it turns the playlist off

Empty slots are skipped, so gaps in the chest add no silence

Do not edit a playing jukebox with /data merge: in testing it destroyed a disc

Copy the link to share a playlist; it opens with the same discs in the same slots

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a jukebox playlist in Minecraft?

In the Java 26.4 snapshots, put a single chest directly on top of a jukebox and fill it with music discs. The jukebox starts on its own and plays them in slot order, then starts again from the first. A trapped chest or any of the 8 copper chests works too; a double chest, barrel or shulker box does not.

Which Minecraft music disc is the shortest?

11 by C418, at 1:11 (Java 26.3).

What is the longest music disc in Minecraft?

blocks by C418, at 5:45 (Java 26.3). All 22 discs together last 1:08:09.

Will a Minecraft jukebox play forever?

A disc put straight into a jukebox plays once and stops. From the Java 26.4 snapshots, a jukebox with a playlist chest on top loops forever: after the last disc it goes back to the first, and a single disc in the chest repeats. Each disc holds the jukebox about one second longer than its song.

How do you get the 13 music disc?

Disc 13 comes from: a creeper killed by any kind of skeleton; ancient city chests; dungeon chests; woodland mansion chests (Java 26.3). The creeper route works for every C418 disc and can be farmed.

What signal does a comparator get from a jukebox?

The signal depends on the disc playing, from 1 to 15, and several discs share a value. In a playlist it changes as each new disc starts, so a comparator can tell which song is on. The table on this page lists every disc's signal.

How many discs fit in a jukebox playlist?

A single chest has 27 slots, so up to 27 discs, and the same disc can go in more than once. Empty slots are skipped without a pause.
