About Cat
Cat is the bright, bouncy counterpart to 13 — the other original music disc and probably the most recognisable jukebox tune in Minecraft. The green-labelled disc, the cheery synth lead and its early availability in dungeon chests made it the track most players heard first. Like the rest of the classic discs it was composed by C418 (Daniel Rosenfeld) and appears on Minecraft – Volume Alpha.
How to get Cat 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 2 while Cat is playing, which redstone builders use to detect exactly which disc is in the box.
Replacing Cat with your own music
Cat is one of the easiest discs to find legitimately in survival, which makes it a great slot for music you actually want to hear often. It exists in every version MineVinyl supports, so it is always available in the generator regardless of which Minecraft version you select.
- Open the MineVinyl generator and select Java Edition 1.0 or later.
- Upload your audio to the Cat 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 Cat 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.
