What you’ll build

Plot four landmarks and sketch three different trail networks to link them. Score each network to find the shortest, then think about hills, water and where you go most before choosing one to build. Make the trail with a shovel and race it against a cross-country run.

Finish line: Your trail network links all four landmarks, and you've raced it against going cross-country.

Bonus challenge: Add signposts at every junction showing the distance in blocks to each landmark, so travellers never get lost.

You’ll need

  • A shovel
  • Your landmark coordinates
  • A timer with seconds

You choose

  • My 4 landmarks
  • Path style: dirt path, gravel or stone
  • My bet for the winner: loop, star or line

Stuck?

  • Tap or hold with a shovel on grass to turn it into a path block.
  • Path blocks only form on grass or dirt, so you'll need to place blocks over water or sand.
  • To score a path, add the X difference and the Z difference between its two ends.
