What you’ll build
Sketch the fortress and pick a safe hideout near the blazes. Set a blaze rod target and a retreat rule, pack Fire Resistance and snowballs, and head in with your partner. Fight from cover, tally every rod and retreat when your rule says so.
Finish line: You've raided the fortress, hit your target or your retreat rule, and locked the rods safely at home.
Bonus challenge: Work out how many eyes of ender your blaze powder could make (each eye needs 1 blaze powder + 1 ender pearl).

You choose

Stuck?
- Build cover so only one or two blazes can see you at once.
- Snowballs hurt blazes, and Fire Resistance stops fire damage while it lasts.
- Stick to your retreat rule, even if you're close to your target.
