Two Years of Music, Creativity, and Community

Two years ago, Custom Music Discs began as a simple idea: give Minecraft players more music, more discovery, and more reasons to keep the jukebox spinning.

Today, we’re proud to celebrate two full years of CMD with the release of the 2nd Anniversary Update — a special milestone release that honours how far the project has come, while setting the stage for the future.

This anniversary celebration arrives in two parts

1) CMD v8.1

A quality-of-life focused update with new features and polish.

2) CMD: Off The Record - Full Release

Our companion addon pack is now fully released, giving players even more ways to experience custom music in Minecraft.

✨ CMD v8.1 – What’s New?

While this anniversary update is smaller in scale, it introduces meaningful improvements inspired directly by player feedback.

🌄 Brand-New Panorama

CMD now features a new panorama, giving the pack a refreshed visual identity whenever you load into Minecraft. It’s a small touch—but the perfect way to celebrate two years of growth.

📚 New Enchantment: Collector

One of the most helpful additions in CMD history has arrived.

After player reports that mob-dropped discs could clog sorting systems, we wanted a solution that felt natural, balanced, and fun.

A brand-new enchantment designed for music hunters.

When applied, Collector increases the chance that music discs are collected from mob drops, with stronger effects at higher enchantment levels.

This means:

Better disc farming efficiency
Cleaner automated storage systems
More control over loot collection
A smarter solution to a real community issue

Sometimes the best updates come from listening.

🎧 CMD: Off The Record - Full Release

The second half of this celebration is the full release of CMD: Off The Record — our addon pack that expands the CMD experience in new ways.

This release marks another step forward for the CMD ecosystem, giving players more options, more customisation, and more music than ever before.
