How to get a Music Disc (C418 – cat) in Survival Mode
You can add this type of music disc to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a chest in a dungeon. So, let’s get started!
1. Find a Dungeon
First, you need to find a dungeon that is located underground. Dungeons appear as a small room with a monster spawner in the center and 1 or 2 chests (sometimes a double chest) filled with valuable items. The walls and floor of the dungeon are made of cobblestone and mossy cobblestone.
You can look for a dungeon by digging underground or you can quickly switch to Spectator gamemode and look for a dungeon by flying down underground. Then switch back to Creative or Survival mode once you’ve found the dungeon.
This is what a dungeon looks like in Spectator mode with Night Vision:
2. Find a Chest
Once you’ve found a dungeon, look inside the dungeon for chests. Each chest will contain different items.
3. Open the Chest
When you find a chest in the dungeon, you need to open it to see what is inside.
If you are lucky, you will find a music disc and other valuable items.
In this example, we have found a music disc (C418 – cat), gold ingot, iron horse armor, string, wheat and redstone.
Make sure you move the music disc to your inventory.
A music disc is a rare item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later with a jukebox.
