How to get a Music Disc (C418 - far) 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.

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.
