Minecraft isn’t just a platform for active games with friends, extreme challenges, and quests; it’s first and foremost a sandbox where you can create your own little world. And, of course, you want to fill your personal nook with coziness. A video player is a great way to achieve this.
This unit isn’t just a toy, but a true machine for creating a pleasant atmosphere in your buildings. In this article, we’ll help you learn how to become the owner of a turntable and what pleasant surprises this item holds.
What is a player in Minecraft?
If you’ve reached this article, you probably already know what you’re dealing with, but we’ll still give you a quick rundown. A turntable is a block, and it doesn’t require any redstone circuitry to function. You simply set it down, play a record, and the music starts playing.
This is a convenient way to spice up the atmosphere during a game. For example, you can place it at your base and listen to pleasant tunes while you go about your daily activities. It’s worth noting that the songs have a range of 60-65 blocks.
How to craft a record player in Minecraft
Good news: you don’t have to struggle to create an item in Minecraft! Crafting a turntable is simple and relatively inexpensive. All you need is:
- 8 wooden boards (any type: oak, pine, etc.);
- 1 diamond.
Arrange the planks in a circle on the workbench and place the diamond in the center. Voila—you have a record player.
How to use the player in Minecraft
The technique of using a turntable is no more difficult than its crafting:
- Place the player in the world;
- Take a music record in your hand;
- Right click on the player to insert a record and start playing music;
- If you click again, the music will stop and the record will fall out.
What kinds of music records exist?
At the time of writing, the game features a whopping 21 music records. They’re divided into two categories: classical and contemporary.

How to get records for a turntable
The records can be obtained in different ways:
Drop in battle
- If a skeleton kills a creeper with an arrow, it will definitely drop a plate (with the exception of some rare ones).
Loot from dungeons
- Records can also be found in chests in dungeons, ancient cities, mansions, fortresses and bastions.
Excavations
- The Relic Plate can be obtained by digging up suspicious gravel in the ruins.
Craft from fragments
- The “5” plate is assembled from fragments of the ancient city – 9 pieces make 1 plate.
Special drops
- The new Lava Chicken disc appears under specific successful conditions of killing a zombie rider (chicken jockey).
Interesting facts about the Minecraft player
Finally, let’s wrap up this article with some of the most interesting facts about the player:
- Parrots and elai love to dance amusingly next to a turned-on record player;
- The game has a twin brother to the player—the note block. But don’t confuse them!
- The record player can be used as fuel in a furnace – this is usually not practical, but it is possible, so why not if you have an extra stack of diamonds lying around;
