Description

The Music Disc "chirp" is a vanilla Minecraft music disc composed by C418 that plays a 3:05 (185-second) track with a retro, sampled feel and a warm vinyl-crackle texture. The Music Disc "chirp" is not craftable and is not found in chests; the only reliable way to get the Music Disc "chirp" is as a Creeper drop, obtained when a skeleton kills a Creeper with an arrow and the Creeper drops one random overworld disc. To play the Music Disc "chirp", use it on a Jukebox: the subtitle "C418 - chirp" appears in the action bar above the hotbar and music-note particles rise from the Jukebox. A Jukebox playing the Music Disc "chirp" emits a Redstone Comparator output of 4, a value unique to this disc that lets you detect it in automated systems. The Music Disc "chirp" stacks to only 1, works in both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, and makes nearby Parrots dance while it plays.

Guide

How to get and play the "chirp" music disc in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Set up a Creeper kill

    The Music Disc "chirp" only drops when a skeleton kills a Creeper with an arrow. Lure a Creeper in front of a skeleton so the skeleton's missed shots hit it.

  2. 2

    Collect the disc

    When the skeleton's arrow finishes the Creeper, it drops one random C418 overworld disc. Pick up the Music Disc "chirp" if it appears; it is a 1-in-12 chance per such kill.

  3. 3

    Place a Jukebox

    Craft or place a Jukebox where you want the music. The Music Disc "chirp" is played by interacting with a Jukebox, not by any crafting recipe.

  4. 4

    Play the track

    Use the Music Disc "chirp" on the Jukebox. The subtitle "C418 - chirp" shows above the hotbar and the 3:05 track plays with note particles; use the Jukebox again to eject the disc.

Automation tip

Place a Redstone Comparator beside the Jukebox to read a signal of 4 while "chirp" plays, or use a Hopper to insert and pull the disc automatically.
