Description

Pigstep is a music disc composed by Lena Raine, added to Minecraft in the 1.16 Nether Update. Unlike older discs that drop when a skeleton kills a creeper, Pigstep is found only as loot inside bastion remnant chests in the Nether. In Java Edition it appears in about 5.6% of generic bastion chests (raised from 3.3% in 1.16.2), always one disc at a time; in Bedrock Edition it also generates in bastion remnant chests. The disc cannot be crafted and does not stack. Insert Pigstep into a jukebox to play its roughly two-and-a-half-minute track, which produces musical note particles while it plays. A redstone comparator placed beside the jukebox reads the disc and outputs a signal strength of 13, so builders use Pigstep in automatic music rooms and detection circuits. Since bastion remnants are the only natural source, each disc is a prized collectible.

How to get and play the Pigstep music disc in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Travel to the Nether

    Build a nether portal and enter the Nether, then search for a large basalt bastion remnant structure.

  2. 2

    Loot the bastion chests

    Open the chests inside the bastion remnant. Pigstep has about a 5.6% chance in generic bastion chests, so clear several bastions if needed.

  3. 3

    Place a jukebox

    Craft a jukebox from eight planks and one diamond, then place it in a safe spot back at your base.

  4. 4

    Play Pigstep

    Right-click the jukebox while holding Pigstep to start the track; note particles appear and the disc pops out when you click the jukebox again.

Comparator tip

A redstone comparator next to the jukebox outputs signal strength 13 while Pigstep plays, letting you trigger lights or doors automatically in a music room.
