Chirp is perhaps one of the most unique music discs in Minecraft. It's a retro tune with samples from the 1970 Mattel Boss Nova-themed program discs, making it a perfect choice for players looking for a bit of nostalgia. But what sets it apart from others is the fact that this disc also samples notes from another disc, Mall.

The unique tune and the sampling of another popular music disc to compose this retro jaunt make it one of the best Minecraft music discs to obtain from mob loot. It is also one of the oldest music discs in Minecraft, released with Java edition 1.0.0 — the first full version of the game to be released.

Relic, by Aaron Cherof, is a music disc that has become popular due to its retro and 8-bit style that is reminiscent of the nostalgic times of Gameboys and SNES. The slow and upbeat rhythm, paired with the soft positive tunes, make it the perfect tune to kick off your adventure in search of the Pale Garden in Minecraft.

Relic was first added in the 1.20 Trials and Tales update and can be found in suspicious gravel in the trail ruins. One of its most interesting aspects is that it uses the main melody from the original soundtrack of Legends, making it one of the best Minecraft music discs for fans of the short-lived game mode.
