Automatic Jukebox | Minecraft 1.20+ [Java Edition]

[@uhFishh]

This is awesome, thank you! I was able to basically flip your design to work vertically for a 2x4 space that I had.

[@mcpeachpies]

Oh Awesome! Is that by checking the state of the hopper on the bottom? I didn't even think to try that but I suppose it works exactly the same

[@Zythum1]

Thank you, I hid one in my friends base playing all the songs they hate

[@vextheidiot]

1.20 came out yesterday and this works like a charm! Thanks a lot!

[@AmazedStoner]

Precisely the kind of thing my build needed

[@mcpeachpies]

Music makes all the difference!

[@odin3141]

It works on bedrock too if you replace the note block with any other solid block, and replace the block above that with a piece of redstone dust

[@migwat]

This is so cute and perfect! I've added a jukebox /parrot dance floor to my bamboo beach bar :) thank you for the easy-to-folloe tutorial!!

[@That_Random_British_Dude]

Simple, yet effective. Absolutely love this, thank you mguy!

Blocks Needed: 2 Hoppers 2 Obeservers 1 Dropper 1 Note Block (with a block on top) 1 Juke Box 1 Lever

Hey, this worked great! Other than the discs duping themselves twice, I love it!

[@mcpeachpies]

Duplicating? Do you mean playing the same discs multiple times in a row or do you mean actually duplicating the items in the hopper/dropper?

[@flippedpaige]

@@mcpeachpies Tried it on a friends server and it turns out to be an incredible duping machine! Did get me into a bit of trouble though!

[@mcpeachpies]

Oh no 😅 Is it a Vanilla server? I haven’t had any other reports of it duplicating discs

[@cheeseandonions9558]

Very cool solution. You should do more tutorials like this.

[@alfredgoeg]

Thanks, i wanted a bit less complicated tutorial, because i tried a really weird tutorial that didnt work, im gonna try this one. :-)

[@bilbostomper]

Excellent mechanism. Thank you very much!

[@blattsee3993]

I had to use a redstone lamp instead of the second jukebox cause with the jukebox it was somehow not working (Version 1.20.2) but now it is and its really great! Thank you for the amazing tutorial

[@mcpeachpies]

The second block is actually a noteblock 🎵 But any block (like a redstone lamp) that changes state with redstone will work so glad it’s working for you!

[@matttwigg9475]

Not sure why, but the hopper underneath the jukebox locks and doesn't accept discs, breaking the whole setup.

[@matttwigg9475]

...Never mind. By breaking the Dropper, placing any non-Redstone block where the Dropper is supposed to be, place the bottom Hopper, break the temporary block and place the Dropper, it all works. Huh? Oh well. I'm leaving this for anyone else who has the same hiccup I did.

[@arkanespirit2184]

Very good quick tutorial, like it ^^

[@BitLight]

One problem I'm having (1.20.1) is the music disc isn't leaving the jukebox when it finishes. How do I fix? Edit: Nevermind it just happened to play stal twice in a row.

[@waffaruu1689]

​@@Kael-Baelanyone know the fix? Same here.

[@drpatrickmorbius5966]

A problem with this design, its shuffle doesnt work correctly, it will shuffle the songs randomly but some will get stuck in the hoppers. The disc that pops out the jukebox will be the first slot in the hopper which is then put into the dropper. The discs in slots 2,3,4,5 are just trapped there

[@drpatrickmorbius5966]

This can be fixed but is still a pretty large oversight

[@mcpeachpies]

@@drpatrickmorbius5966 I have noticed that happening too, as stated this is just a concept and I never claimed it to be perfect. I imagine it works alright with a reduced number of discs but very interested to hear your solution, something along the lines of adding more storage would be my approach at the lost of compactness

[@antmess9789]

There is no problem. You put too many discs in the system. It holds a max of 10 discs.

[@Nick-pp6is]

thanks jimmy

[@glitchmediaprod]

tried this though im on a server and same issue a few others have, it cycles correctly up till the hopper into the jukebox, its like the jukebox wont accept anything unless its given by the player. seems like its a server plugin or something restricts it. kinda sucks too cause I was hoping to have music stay playing at base.

[@Mishkaxx.]

i have the same problem :(

[@antmess9789]

Or the server is not on 1.19. You need to pay attention to version numbers of servers.

[@juicyjuustar121]

Anyone know how I'd go about adding more storage for this design? I'd love to have all my modded discs included in a single chest that the player can shuffle through randomly

[@cheeseandonions9558]

You could have 2 droppers connected to each other which would would give you additional 9 spaces, and they all fire randomly.

[@hatronoth8948]

So I had the same issue others have been describing; the Redstone clicking away and nothing happening, and the disc getting stuck in the hopper. Turns out the hopper wasn't linking to the bottom dropper, got around this by placing a cobblestone block in place of the bottom dropper, placing the hopper against the side of the cobblestone block, and then cutting the cobblestone block out and placing the dropper in it's place pointing upwards. Obviously everything HAS to be the exact way as described in the video (I'm on Java and had to drop down 2 blocks to get the placement right as you had shown for Bedrock edition). Happy to report its all working well and hidden into a wall in my house.

[@mcpeachpies]

Glad to hear you found a work around to make building it easier, I often wonder if placement of the hoppers is causing problems for people. Will be sure to direct people to your solution if they're having problems!

[@udayanmallik0]

I made it in a server when I am near the jukebox it works like a charm and works like it should but if I unload tha chunks or come after some time while its playing it just plays but doesn't give any sound, I want it to be playing non-stop in the server, will chunk loader work?

[@mcpeachpies]

Unfortunately that’s just how jukeboxes function, they have a limited range for the volume of the music that decreases the further you get and if a track is started when you’re not within range you won’t hear any music when you do get close until the next song starts

[@udayanmallik0]

@@mcpeachpies ok thanks for the reply...

[@mcpeachpies]

@@udayanmallik0 A lot of the music discs can be found on KZbin/Spotify/Apple Music, could be a solution if you wanted to listen to them non-stop anywhere while you’re playing

[@disbe1ief2006]

@@mcpeachpies You seem to have misunderstood what he said. I believe he is talking about deloading the chunk and then coming back. I also believe he is talking about being gone away from the jukebox and then the song stopping and then him coming back to the system not repeating due to the chunk not loading in.

[@mcpeachpies]

@@disbe1ief2006 I have found that when I leave mine playing and leave the chunk sometimes it’ll be silent until the next track starts. But I wonder if it could be a problem depending on how it’s built within/on chunk borders maybe causing problems with the detection?

so helpful thank you :)

[@BottleCapStreet]

Mine didn't work with the solid block on the note block so I swapped the solid block out for redstone dust and it works now

I think the observer isnt detecting the discs moving through the hopper and the dropper isnt being activated

nvm fixed it also thanks for the tutorial :D

[@grsnvin4773]

@@menhera1 how did u fix this i have the same problem

[@menhera1]

@@grsnvin4773 i think it had something to do with all the slots on the dropper being full so the hopper under the jukebox couldnt empty so what i did was move some manually from the dropper to the hopper above the dropper leaving some space

[@mcpeachpies]

@@menhera1 Glad you've fix it for you, note that the observer is checking for a change in state of the hopper not the content of the discs. Essentially observer is triggered then the redstone/locked state of the hopper is power/unpowered by the jukebox playing a song. In that sense when the jukebox is done playing a song it will no longer output a redstone signal and unpower the hopper therefor changing its state and triggering the observer onto the dispenser I wonder if what you've encountered is if the bottom hopper is full, there will be nowhere for the music disc in the jukebox to go which might cause some problems with the state of the top hopper? I've found that it really works best if that bottom hopper doesn't get clogged up, could help to limit how many discs are in the system

[@OliviaWantsToBePretty]

Still works, if anyone is checking the comments to see

[@Firered908_YT]

Thanks

[@itssomethin]

Is it possible to take the disc out without clicking the jukebox? With redstone I want to have a button to play the next song without me having to click the jukebox itself

[@mcpeachpies]

I'm afraid not, you can only remove a disc but right clicking on the jukebox. I've seen a few people trying stuff with hopper minecarts to catch the disc when you eject it

[@itssomethin]

It is a custom pack, it is linked in the description 🙂 There are some issues with the 1.19.3 Creative menu changes but it’ll be fixed eventually EDIT: A 1.20 version is now available with a range of fixes!

[@aeroflura]

sort of works, when the music has finished, it doesnt go into the hopper below and does its cycle it just keeps on playing but with no sound, im on java and its on a server

[@mcpeachpies]

The only reason it wouldn’t go into the hopper below would be if the hopper wasn’t receiving power from somewhere, any other redstone sources nearby or is the lever in the wrong position? Are you on 1.19.4 or later?

[@frontporch7753]

i am using this to make a Minecraft map where every five minutes another instance of stal plays

That is amazing! Stal is one of the best songs by far 🐟

[@nathanielpillar8012]

I built this on my server, and it works at first. But if I leave the area for a while and come back, I find it has stopped. Only starts playing again when I right click the jukebox to take out a disk manually.

[@mcpeachpies]

Hmm that is odd, I have found other people have similar issues. I find that sometimes It'll start replaying by itself but after sometime, can't say that it's locked up for me like that though. I wonder if it has something to do with block updates in unloaded chunks?

[@nathanielpillar8012]

​@@mcpeachpiesafter a while I noticed that it actually starts playing again. I have to be patient. I think when I return, it's just silent for the rest of the song. Then when the next disk starts, it's all good again.

[@Milkate95]

@@nathanielpillar8012 It's the exact same for me. I think it has something to do with chunks, because I stayed next to the jukebox during the whole song to see if it stopped, and it looped just fine.

This is something I've really been meaning to play around with, I think if you rework the hoppers a bit you could add extra storage. I've also been playing around with adding other items into 4/5 slots of the top hopper feeding into the jukebox to stop discs getting stuck

[@cole08]

how do i make it so it stops playing the same 3 or 4 discs

[@mcpeachpies]

It's completely random since the dropper just shoots a random disc out the 9 slots, you could try expanding the hoppers into a chest or something? I'd have to have a play around myself but some sort of external storage feed might help

[@Amodh1257]

Nice video!

[@goddesslena86]

i used your design and it works pretty well, but songs are being skipped when they are not finished and i dont know why. how do i fix this?

[@mcpeachpies]

That can’t be anything to do with the redstone as the jukebox will only change its state when the song is finished playing, I have noticed a couple songs seem to end differently than I remember when playing on my server, I wonder if it is a client desync issue

[@askdeterminataleandaus5670]

Having the lever powered will lock any hoppers and stop new discs from playing, I wonder if you try putting the disc directly into the jukebox (with the lever turned off) if it will cycle correctly?

you can do much simpler, juste 2 powered rails on top of the jukebox and hopper, 6 blocks total

alternatively, replace the top hopper with a dropper, torch on top of the jukebox and rail on top of the dropper

@@labichefurtive2329 That sounds like an interesting way to do it, I’ll have to try it out! I tried to keep the jukebox as clear of redstone as I could so that it could still be on display, but very curious to see how your concept works

[@YasengGoranih]

Turn off function does not work.

[@cheeseandonions9558]

When you turn the lever on, it locks the upper hopper so it won't feed any more discs. But the disc which is currently playing will play to the end. I don't think there's an easy way to stop it.

[@William_Afton_Irl]

Does this work in 1.19.2? :]

I know it says Java but does it also work in bedrock??

I’m not 100% sure, unfamiliar with Bedrock’s redstone workings. I have a funny feeling it’s even easier in Bedrock due to lack of redstone budding issues.

[@BaseNAND]

The way they implemented it is really stupid. It would have been so cool if they had made it possible to read out the disc playback progress with a comparator, and a redstone signal to eject the current disc. That way you wouldn't have the hopper blocking and quasi connectivity issues at all... Could also skip a disc without manual ejection and picking it back up.
