Usage[edit]
Playback[edit]
Using a music disc on a jukebox, or having a hopper insert a disc into one,[Bedrock Edition only] 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.[Bedrock Edition only] 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.
Looping[edit]
In the Bedrock Edition, jukeboxes disable adjacent hoppers when a music disc is playing inside them. Because the hoppers are re-enabled when the song ends, a system of hoppers can be used to automatically eject and reinsert the disc when it is finished playing, causing it to loop.[1]
Redstone component[edit]
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" |
| 13 | "pigstep" |
In Bedrock Edition, they also emit a redstone signal when any music disc is played inside.
Fuel[edit]
Jukeboxes can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

| Java Edition Beta | |||||
| 1.6 | ? | 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. | |||

| Java Edition | |||||
| 1.5 | 13w04a | Active jukeboxes now give off a redstone signal when a comparator is placed behind it; its strength (1–12) depends on which disc is inserted. | |||

Trivia[edit]
- C418 has the Steve skin with a jukebox for a head, likely because it was he who made most of the music for Minecraft.
- Therefore, his head may be used as the MHF equivalent of the Jukebox.
- The use of a diamond as part of the crafting recipe might be a reference to how Edison phonographs have diamond-tipped needles.
