Build an arcade hall with a token gate, neon sign and prize counter.

Neon lights. A token gate. A prize counter. Your games, under one roof. The Lab Arcade opens tonight.

What you’ll build

Build an arcade hall big enough for your games, crowned with a neon sign of lamps behind coloured glass. Add a token gate that only opens when a coin drops in, plus a prize counter with a price list. Then welcome your very first customer.

Finish line: Your arcade is open, with a glowing sign, a working token gate, a prize counter and a happy first customer.

Bonus challenge: Add a token-only snack bar that opens with the same trick, then make a secret staff door that needs a different item.

You’ll need

  • Redstone lamps
  • Coloured glass
  • Hopper and comparator
  • Repeater
  • Iron door
  • Emeralds as tokens

You choose

  • My arcade's name
  • My neon colour and sign shape
  • My top prize

Stuck?

  • Gate won't open? One token makes a weak signal: put a repeater right after the comparator.
  • The hopper must point into a solid block, not a chest, so it keeps the token.
  • Gate stuck open? Take the token out of the hopper to reset it.
