Mission 484 hasn’t hit the channel yet. Subscribe and you’ll see it the day it lands.
Build a 24-hour timeline wall and pin every suspect's alibi to it.
Every suspect has an alibi. Line them all up on one giant clock wall and watch someone's story fall apart.

What you’ll build
Crack the clock code by working out how long a game hour lasts in real seconds. Build a timeline wall a day long, mark sunrise, noon, sunset and midnight, and hang a clock in an item frame. Lay each suspect's alibi along the wall in their own colour and hunt for anyone in two places at once.
Finish line: Your timeline wall has a working clock and five colour-coded alibis, with one broken.
Bonus challenge: Stand at the wall from sunset to midnight with the stopwatch. Did your clock-code answer hold up for all 6 Mystery hours?
You’ll need
- Gold ingots and redstone for a clock
- An item frame
- Wool in 5 colours
- Glowing blocks
- A stopwatch
You choose
- Timeline style (hallway, tower or giant clock face)
- A colour for each suspect
- My bet for the alibi that breaks
Stuck?
- A clock is 4 gold ingots around 1 redstone dust. It works underground but spins wildly in the Nether.
- A full day lasts 20 real minutes, so each game hour is less than a minute. Work it out before you build.
- Alibis overlapping in a muddle? Give each suspect their own row on the wall.
