What you’ll build

Join your whole village together. You'll plan routes between your builds, carve a wide main road with a shovel and add little side paths to every door. Mix in gravel and coarse dirt so it looks natural, then edge the paths with flowers, fences or lights.

Finish line: Every build is joined by a path, and your main road has edges or lights.

Bonus challenge: Build a crossroads with a signpost that points to each place.

You’ll need

  • Shovel
  • Gravel
  • Coarse dirt
  • Slabs
  • Lanterns

You choose

  • Path style (dirt, gravel, mixed, stone)
  • Main road or little side paths
  • Path edges (flowers, fences, lanterns)

Stuck?

  • Shovel not making a path? It only works on grass and dirt, and the block above must be empty.
  • Path blocks turn back into dirt if you place a block on top, so keep lanterns beside the path.
  • Straight lines look plain. Mix gravel and coarse dirt in for a more natural road.
