About Blocks
At 5:45, Blocks is the longest disc in the game. It is a slow-building, upbeat electronic piece from C418’s Minecraft – Volume Beta, and became obtainable as a creeper drop in 1.4.2 alongside the other non-13/Cat discs.
How to get Blocks in survival
Dropped when a skeleton or stray kills a creeper.
Once you have the disc, place it in a jukebox to play it. A redstone comparator reading the jukebox outputs a signal strength of 3 while Blocks is playing, which redstone builders use to detect exactly which disc is in the box.
Replacing Blocks with your own music
Blocks’ generous runtime makes it the natural slot for longer pieces — full songs, mixes or podcast segments — since players already expect this disc to play for a while. The disc exists in every version MineVinyl supports. Note that the in-game runtime is just metadata about the vanilla track: your replacement plays for however long your own audio lasts.
- Open the MineVinyl generator and select Java Edition 1.0 or later.
- Upload your audio to the Blocks 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 Blocks 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.
