Jukebox
minecraft:jukeboxThe Jukebox plays Music Discs, projecting sound up to 64 blocks and emitting a comparator-readable redstone signal while active. Crafted from wood planks and a diamond, it also lets nearby allays dance and split when duplicated.
Uses
- Music Disc Playback — Right-click with a Music Disc to play it; right-click again (or apply redstone) to eject it and stop the music.
- Redstone Signal Source — A comparator reads the jukebox's output strength (0-15), letting circuits identify which disc is currently playing.
- Allay Duplication — Use an amethyst shard on a dancing allay near an active jukebox to split it into two allays.
Found In
- Crafted — Eight wood planks (any type) surrounding one diamond.
- Ancient Cities / Woodland Mansions — Occasionally found holding music discs in loot generation.

FAQ
What tool mines a Jukebox fastest?
An axe. A netherite axe breaks it in about 0.35 seconds, but any tool or bare hands can eventually break it.
Does a Jukebox need Silk Touch to keep its disc?
No. Breaking a jukebox always drops the block itself and ejects any inserted music disc as a separate item.
Can a Jukebox be used as furnace fuel?
Yes, it smelts 1.5 items per jukebox when used as fuel.
Do mobs react to a playing Jukebox?
Yes. Parrots and allays dance within a few blocks of an active jukebox, and adjacent hoppers are disabled while it plays.
