Description

Music Disc mellohi is one of the original C418 music discs in Minecraft, playing a moody, 96-second melody when inserted into a jukebox. Music Disc mellohi is not craftable: it drops only when a creeper is killed by a skeleton or a stray's arrow, and each dropped disc has a 1-in-12 chance of being mellohi. Music Disc mellohi stacks to one and carries a dark, deep-green label that sets it apart from brighter discs like cat or chirp.

Players use Music Disc mellohi purely for ambience: right-click a jukebox while holding the disc to start the track, and place a redstone comparator beside the jukebox to read a signal strength of 7 while the music plays. Because creepers and skeletons respawn naturally, Music Disc mellohi is renewable through a creeper-skeleton farm, making it a reliable collectible for music rooms and hidden listening dens. On Bedrock Edition, Music Disc mellohi once appeared in buried treasure chests, but that loot was removed in 1.21.130, leaving the creeper drop as the only source. For collectors completing the full C418 set, Music Disc mellohi pairs naturally with the discs stal, strad, and ward.

    Set up a creeper and a skeleton

    Find a skeleton and a creeper at night, then stand so the creeper is between you and the skeleton, making the skeleton's arrows hit the creeper.

  2. 2

    Let the skeleton kill the creeper

    When a skeleton or stray lands the killing blow on the creeper, the creeper drops a random music disc, with a 1-in-12 chance that it is Music Disc mellohi.

  3. 3

    Build a simple drop trap

    Dig a two-block-deep pit, lure the creeper in, and let the skeleton shoot from a raised platform so you can farm discs repeatedly.

  4. 4

    Place a jukebox and right-click it while holding Music Disc mellohi to start the 96-second track; right-click the jukebox again to eject the disc.
