Build Stage 4: a lamp countdown with beeps that sets off the finale.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Lamps blaze one by one, beeps getting higher. The audience will be on the edge of their seats.

- Level 6 · Inventor's Lab

- Time 30–45 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Build a giant countdown wall where lamps blaze from 5 to 1, each with a beep higher than the last. A line of repeaters behind the wall sets the timing, and the end of it carries the signal on towards the finale. Tune it to one second per number.
Finish line: Your countdown wall lights 5 to 1 with rising beeps and passes the signal on to the finale.
Bonus challenge: Make the wall show the numbers themselves in lamps, like a giant scoreboard. With 3 lamps per segment (Mission 565), how many lamps does a 5 need?
You’ll need
- Redstone lamps
- Note blocks
- Repeaters
- Redstone dust
- Copper bulb
- A stopwatch
You choose
- My countdown wall's look
- How long each number lasts: ___ s
- My beep pattern (higher each time, or a surprise)
Stuck?
- Numbers too fast? Add repeaters or tap them for longer delays: 10 ticks is one second.
- Silent beep? Note blocks need an empty block of air above them.
- Lamps lighting together? Each branch must come off after its own repeater.
