Minecraft's jukebox is a charming block that lets you play music discs, adding an ambient soundtrack to your world. Creating one is straightforward, but knowing the exact recipe is key. This guide will walk you through the process, answer common questions, and even offer some tips for enhancing your in-game musical experience.
What Materials Do I Need to Make a Jukebox?
To craft a jukebox, you'll need these two items:
- 8 Wooden Planks: Any type of wood will work – oak, birch, spruce, jungle, acacia, dark oak, or even mangrove. Just gather logs and process them into planks using your crafting table.
- 1 Redstone Dust: This is mined from redstone ore, which is usually found underground. Remember to smelt the ore in a furnace to get the dust.
