Where can I find custom music discs?
Records are hidden in structure chests throughout the world, dropped by specific mobs when defeated, traded from villagers, or crafted using recipes shown in the in-game wiki. Different songs come from different sources, so explore various biomes and structures to build your collection.
How do I open the in-game wiki?
The mod includes a built-in guide menu that you can access while playing—check your inventory or use the command shown in the mod's setup instructions to open the wiki and browse every song's location and acquisition method.
Can I craft custom music discs?
Yes, certain songs have crafting recipes that you can discover and use in survival mode. The in-game wiki shows which records are craftable and what ingredients you need.
What happens when I collect all the records?
Completing your entire music collection triggers a special advancement and rewards you with an exclusive version of the Sweden track that you cannot obtain any other way.
Do the old Minecraft records still work?
Yes, all original records still function normally, but their appearance has been updated to match the visual style of the new custom discs for a cohesive look.
Can I use this data pack in multiplayer?
Yes, the data pack works in multiplayer worlds and keeps everything balanced for survival play without requiring cheats or admin commands.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The data pack is designed to be lightweight and should not significantly impact performance, though having many jukeboxes playing simultaneously may affect some systems—test in your world to see how it runs.
Do I need mods installed or just data packs?

Can I remove this data pack and keep my progress?
