Creepers Killed by Trident Throwing Drowned Drop Music Discs
Despite 1.13 bringing us underwater more thanks to Conduits, a player is still very rarely underwater long enough for the new music to play. 1.13 also brought us the Drowned, which can spawn rarely with a Trident in hand, which can be thrown by the mob endlessly like a Skeleton's Bow can be fired.
Why not add in Music Discs of these rare music tracks in a similar way you obtain other Music Discs? When a Drowned successfully kills a Creeper, the Creeper drops a random Disc in the underwater music pool (Shunjii, Axolotl, and Dragonfish).
When inserted into a Jukebox, they give off a Comparator value of 13-15 accordingly, rounding out the Comparator values for Jukeboxes to that of a Redstone block, or the maximum value of the upcoming Lectern block.
-------
On the more nitty-gritty side of this suggestion, Tridents are considered projectiles by the game, and can be traced to a thrower easily with the "type=" tag given to the projectile when thrown.
One thing that shouldn't be done however, is have the new discs be a hard-coded drop. This is to prevent situations where a mapmaker might want to restrict the drop of these, and other Discs for progression, aesthetic, or gameplay reasons.
There is quite honestly no reason to have hard-coded drops of any kind going forwards for modding API anyways.
