About 5
5 is the spiritual successor to 13 and 11: an unsettling ambient piece by Mojang sound designer Samuel Åberg rather than a song. It is the only disc that must be crafted — nine fragments scattered through ancient city loot — which turns completing it into a deep-dark treasure hunt past the Warden. Fans have spent years dissecting its muffled voices and portal-like sounds for lore about the ancient builders. It outputs the maximum comparator signal of 15.
How to get 5 in survival
Crafted from nine Disc Fragments, which are found as chest loot in ancient cities in the deep dark. It is the only disc assembled from pieces.
Once you have the disc, place it in a jukebox to play it. A redstone comparator reading the jukebox outputs a signal strength of 15 while 5 is playing, which redstone builders use to detect exactly which disc is in the box.
Replacing 5 with your own music
Select Minecraft 1.19 or later in the generator for the 5 slot. Like 11 and 13, it is a favourite for horror and mystery content — replacing the most lore-heavy disc in the game with your own cryptic audio is a well-worn map-making trick.
- Open the MineVinyl generator and select Java Edition 1.19 or later.
- Upload your audio to the 5 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 5 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.
