Minecraft has an enormous and infinite sandbox world, and to fill it out, the game has a ton of different items. Each item has a different purpose and appearance, with some also having higher rarity than others. One such item category is music discs.

Music discs are unique items, with each one used to play a pre-selected soundtrack when inserted into a jukebox in Minecraft. The music from these discs can provide a moment of relaxation and cheerfulness within the game's harsh and unforgiving world.

Additionally, music discs can be used to transmit redstone signals when paired with a redstone comparator while playing inside a jukebox. Every musical track in Minecraft emits a redstone reading of a different strength, with the "Otherside" music disc emitting a signal having a maximum strength of 14.
