Minecraft's ambient tracks like "Sweden" are iconic, but the real magic unfolds when players discover music discs hidden in the world. Dropped by skeletons killing creepers or found in ancient cities, these vinyl treasures unlock immersive, sometimes downright eerie soundscapes that transform blocky adventures into cinematic experiences. For 2025 explorers, knowing which discs hit different is key to curating the ultimate in-game vibe. Here’s the lowdown on the crème de la crème of Minecraft’s sonic collectibles.

🎵 10. Blocks

  • Composer: C418

  • Obtained: Creeper killed by skeleton (1/12 chance)

The longest track at over 5 minutes, "Blocks" swings from upbeat chiptune to melancholic synths. It’s nostalgic AF but drags its feet early on. Perfect for mining sessions, though newer discs outshine its clunky intro.

👻 9. 11

  • Composer: C418

  • Obtained: Creeper killed by skeleton (1/12 chance)

Pure nightmare fuel. Heavy breathing, running footsteps, and vinyl scratches make this feel like a horror flick. Theories swirl about its connection to "Eleven" on C418’s Album Beta, but Mojang’s kept mum. Total mind-bender.

🌊 8. Mall

  • Composer: C418

  • Obtained: Creeper killed by skeleton (1/12 chance)

Drippy percussion and aquatic synths make "Mall" ideal for ocean monument raids. Solid background noise, but it’s no showstopper—just a reliable groove machine.

💧 7. 13

  • Composer: C418

  • Obtained: Creeper killed by skeleton (1/12 chance)

Cavern drips, sudden silences, and crashing splashes create peak subterranean unease. Paired with "11" and "5," it fuels wild lore about doomed explorers—yet answers? Zilch. Spooky as heck.

🎪 6. Mellohi

  • Composer: C418

  • Obtained: Creeper killed by skeleton (1/12 chance)

Imagine pillagers raiding a Tim Burton circus—that’s "Mellohi." Bouncy, mischievous, and weirdly joyful. Makes you wish Mojang added a roaming mob caravan biome yesterday.

😭 5. Tears

  • Composer: Amos Roddy

  • Obtained: Ghast killed by its own deflected fireball

Genius alert: Amos Roddy turned ghast shrieks into an industrial banger. Proof that mob sounds can slay as melodies. Redstone engineers, this is your brain-fuel anthem.

🏃 4. 5

  • Composer: Samuel Åberg

  • Obtained: Craft 9 disc fragments from Ancient Cities

The trilogy’s brutal finale: stomping, panicked breathing, and a warden’s killing roar. Hardest disc to get, hardest hitting lore. Confirms theories about that poor soul from "11"—GG, adventurer.

🎶 3. Creator (Music Box Version)

  • Composer: Lena Raine

  • Obtained: Breaking Trial Chambers’ decorated pots (rare)

Lena Raine’s lullaby rewrite is pure storybook magic. Haunting and hopeful, it’s a new-gen classic proving she’s every bit C418’s equal. Find it? You’ve hit the jackpot.

😺 2. Cat

  • Composer: C418

  • Obtained: Creeper drop or Woodland Mansion chest

Pure serotonin. That iconic chiptune melody is Minecraft’s audio hug—warm, curious, and OG. Ends with synths that scream 2010s nostalgia. Still a server-uniting bop after all these years.

🥇 1. Ward

  • Composer: C418

  • Obtained: Creeper killed by skeleton (1/12 chance)

Starts with Chopin’s Funeral March? Bold. Then pivots to funky adventure beats before soaring into pure wonder. It’s a whole emotional odyssey in one disc—quirky, profound, and unbeatably Minecraft. The GOAT. 🏆
