About Tears
Tears was composed by Amos Roddy and added alongside the happy ghast in 1.21.6. Its white disc evokes ghast tears, and its drop condition turns a classic Return to Sender fireball deflection into a jukebox reward.
How to get Tears in survival
Dropped by a ghast killed with a player-deflected fireball (also grants the Return to Sender advancement).
Once you have the disc, place it in a jukebox to play it. A redstone comparator reading the jukebox outputs a signal strength of 5 while Tears is playing, which redstone builders use to detect exactly which disc is in the box.
Replacing Tears with your own music
Tears is one of the newest disc slots, so you must select Minecraft 1.21.6 or later in the generator for it to appear. Players on earlier versions will never see this slot — if your pack targets a mixed-version audience, prefer one of the classic discs instead.
- Open the MineVinyl generator and select Java Edition 1.21.6 or later.
- Upload your audio to the Tears 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 Tears 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.
