"ward" refers to both a song composed by C418, and a music disc that plays the song when inserted in a jukebox. The music disc is obtained from creepers killed by skeletons.

Obtaining

Mob loot

When killed by a skeleton, stray, bogged, or parched (or wither skeleton if given a bow using commands), a creeper drops a music disc, which has a 1⁄12 chance to be "ward".

Because TNT ignited by a flaming arrow attributes all resulting kills to the entity that fired the arrow, a skeleton igniting a TNT block due to holding a bow enchanted with Flame, or shooting through lava or fire, also causes any creepers killed in the explosion to drop a disc.[1][2]

"ward" starts off with an excerpt from Chopin's Funeral March[3] played on a synth organ, but it is interrupted by vinyl static and switches to an electronic, upbeat tune with a dark undertone. The track then fades in vinyl static, before an uplifting electronic tune closes out the song.

The album version of "ward" shortens the Chopin at the beginning.

Usage

Like all music discs, using the "ward" music disc on a jukebox causes the jukebox to play the song.

If a redstone comparator is reading a jukebox playing "ward", it will emit a redstone signal of 10.
