Jukeboxes give different redstone signal strengths when different discs are played in them, which is a useful feature in many redstone builds. But, acquiring enough discs to use the full range of signal strengths is difficult in survival mode. The signal strengths 13, 14, and 15 can only be created by non-renewable discs, which are hard to find and cannot be farmed. The newest music disc, Tears, is renewable, as you can acquire as many copies of it as you want by killing ghasts. Currently, Tears gives a signal strength of 10 when played in a jukebox, but increasing that value to 13 would provide more utility to jukebox redstone.
The existing renewable discs (the ones obtained from creepers) give signal strengths of 1-12, and can easily be farmed in a mob grinder. Since signal strength 10 is already easily obtainable from creepers, having Tears also give signal strength 10 while being farmable misses an opportunity to make jukebox redstone more accessible in survival mode. If Tears was to have its signal strength increased, then signal strength 13 would become farmable, giving jukebox redstone more utility.
This tiny change would give Tears a second use and save it from redstone redundancy.
