About Pigstep
Pigstep ended an eleven-year drought: it was the first new music disc since the original twelve, and the first not composed by C418. Lena Raine’s Nether-flavoured bass-heavy track became an instant phenomenon — so popular that Mojang had to clarify that uploading it to YouTube could trigger copyright claims. Its bastion-only loot source also made it the first disc you genuinely had to go on an adventure for.
How to get Pigstep in survival
Found only as chest loot in bastion remnants in the Nether. It cannot be dropped by creepers.
Once you have the disc, place it in a jukebox to play it. A redstone comparator reading the jukebox outputs a signal strength of 13 while Pigstep is playing, which redstone builders use to detect exactly which disc is in the box.
Replacing Pigstep with your own music
To replace Pigstep, select Minecraft 1.16 or later in the generator — the slot will not appear for older versions, because the disc did not exist before the Nether Update. Pigstep’s reputation as the “rare hype track” makes it a popular slot for high-energy replacements on servers.
- Open the MineVinyl generator and select Java Edition 1.16 or later.
- Upload your audio to the Pigstep 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 Pigstep 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.
