Make the Timeline world and launch a time machine on a 10-light countdown.
The time machine is built. Ten lights. One lever. Fireworks. 3… 2… 1… and then something goes very wrong.
- New skill Building a repeater countdown
- Level 7 · Time Travellers
- Difficulty Intermediate
- Mode Creative
- Time 45–60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Start a brand-new world called the Timeline and build a launch pad with your own time machine on it. Then wire a repeater countdown that lights a line of lamps one by one and ends in a blast of fireworks. Pull the lever… and get ready for a glitch.
Finish line: Your time machine sits on its launch pad, the lamps race, the fireworks fly… and an ERROR sign says the adventure has begun.
Bonus challenge: Put a note block on every lamp block so each light beeps as it switches on. Tune the last one higher for the big launch moment.
You’ll need
- A lever
- Redstone repeaters
- Redstone lamps
- A dispenser
- Firework rockets
- Signs
You choose
- My time machine's shape (giant hourglass, clock tower pod, steam engine, flying train…)
- My machine's name
- The first year I'd jump to
Stuck?
- Lamps not lighting in order? Check every repeater's arrow points away from the lever, toward the next block.
- Tap a repeater to add delay. Each tap adds a tick, up to 4, so set them all the same for an even countdown.
- No fireworks? Make sure the last repeater points straight into the dispenser and the rockets are inside it.
