All Minecraft Music Discs (1.21) — Full List with Composers
Minecraft now has 21 Java Edition music discs, spanning six credited composers or artist projects: C418 (Daniel Rosenfeld), Lena Raine, Samuel Åberg, Aaron Cherof, Amos Roddy, Hyper Potions. The catalogue began with C418's original pair, 13 and Cat, then expanded into the classic twelve that many players still sort by skeleton-and-creeper drops and redstone comparator strength. Later updates turned music discs into exploration rewards, sending players to bastions, ancient cities, trail ruins, trial chambers, ghasts, and even chicken jockeys.
This guide is the scannable reference version: one table with every disc name, composer credit, Minecraft version added, survival obtainment method, jukebox comparator signal, and a link to the detailed MineVinyl page for that disc. If you are building a custom pack, use the table to pick the vanilla slot you want to replace, then jump to the generator to create the pack in your browser. The newest 1.21-era slots are Creator, Creator (Music Box), Precipice, Tears, Lava Chicken, so check the version column before targeting older worlds.

Using this list for custom discs
Comparator signal matters if your jukebox is wired into redstone, while the version added tells you whether a disc slot exists for the Minecraft version your pack targets. Classic slots are safest for older worlds; newer slots are useful when you want a modern disc reward to carry your replacement audio.
