Build a mini replica of the city's great gate and tell its legend.

Who built the silent city? Why is there a giant gate in the middle? Tonight, you tell the legend.

What you’ll build

Back at base, build a mini replica of the Ancient City's great gate from deepslate, lit with an eerie lantern glow. Add a clue wall with your spy map and loot. Then write the city's legend using three real clues, gather your family in the dark and tell it, saving the twist for last.

Finish line: Your glowing gate replica stands at base, and you've told the city's legend with real clues.

Bonus challenge: Copy your legend into a book and quill, hide it in a chest inside the replica and leave a coded clue for a family member to find it.

You’ll need

  • Deepslate bricks and tiles
  • Lanterns or torches
  • Your spy map
  • Your city loot
  • Family members to listen

You choose

  • The lost people's name
  • What the giant gate was for
  • My legend's twist ending

Stuck?

  • Deepslate bricks come from polished deepslate, and tiles from bricks. Start with cobbled deepslate.
  • The real gate's material can't be collected, so deepslate stands in for it.
  • Legend too long? Pick your three clues and build the story around them, one at a time.
