About 13
13 is the strangest of the classic discs: rather than a melody, it is a collage of dripping water, distant wind, bow fire and what sounds like a struck flint and steel, closer to a field recording from inside a cave than a song. It appears on C418’s album Minecraft – Volume Alpha, and alongside Cat it was one of the only two music discs in the game for years. Its comparator output of 1 — the lowest of any disc — makes it the conventional first slot in redstone jukebox selectors.
How to get 13 in survival
Dropped when a skeleton or stray kills a creeper; also found as chest loot in dungeons, ancient cities, and woodland mansions.
Once you have the disc, place it in a jukebox to play it. A redstone comparator reading the jukebox outputs a signal strength of 1 while 13 is playing, which redstone builders use to detect exactly which disc is in the box.
Replacing 13 with your own music
Because 13 is atmospheric rather than musical, it is a popular slot for ambient soundscapes, horror-map audio and voice-over logs — anything where an abrupt, eerie tone fits. The disc exists in every version MineVinyl supports, so any Minecraft version selection in the generator will include the 13 slot. Your replacement audio can be any length; Minecraft simply plays the file until it ends.
- Open the MineVinyl generator and select Java Edition 1.0 or later.
- Upload your audio to the 13 slot. MineVinyl converts it to the mono OGG Vorbis format Minecraft expects — here's why mono matters.
- Download the zip and install it like any resource pack. Play 13 in a jukebox to hear your track.
Only the audio changes — the disc item, its name, texture and loot sources all stay vanilla, and every disc you don't assign keeps its original sound.
