Jukebox in Minecraft: Everything players need to know

Jukeboxes are a great way to make a Minecraft base feel more like home. They allow players to play the various music discs found within the game, granted they can find them. They also provide great interactions with the parrot mob, as seen in the image above.

To make the jukebox even better, Mojang continuously adds new music discs to Minecraft, such as the new Pigstep disc which can only be found in the Nether in Bastion Remnants. Players who are not aware of some of the amazing music discs in the game should try them out in a jukebox.

How to craft a jukebox

The main difficulty of crafting a jukebox is that it requires one diamond, although this should be no problem for players who have made it to the mid-game.

In addition to the singular diamond, players will only need eight wooden planks of any type to craft the juke box. The diamond will be placed in the center of the crafting table with eight planks surrounding it.

Although it requires a diamond, most players will likely not have a music disc by the time they find diamonds anyways.
