Build a 100-block time tunnel and send a test pilot through it 5 times.

Nobody jumps into history untested. Your first time traveller has feathers, a minecart and zero say in it.

  • New skill Building a powered rail track
  • Level 7 · Time Travellers
  • Difficulty Intermediate
  • Mode Creative
  • Time 45 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Build a long powered rail track out of the hub and wrap it in a glowing time tunnel with a dramatic arrival frame. Load your chicken test pilot into a minecart, time five runs and work out your true record before awarding a medal.

Finish line: Your chicken pilot has five timed runs through the tunnel, an average record and a medal of its own.

Bonus challenge: Take out every second powered rail (use normal rails instead) and run 5 more tests. How much slower? Which design is better value?

You’ll need

  • Powered rails
  • Blocks of redstone
  • A minecart
  • Chicken spawn egg
  • A lead
  • A stopwatch

You choose

  • My test pilot's name
  • My tunnel's colours
  • My guess for one run: ___ seconds

Stuck?

  • Rails not glowing? A powered rail only works with power, so put a block of redstone under each one.
  • Chicken won't get in? Push it into the minecart, or lead it in with a lead.
  • Cart won't start? Give it a push, or put a solid block behind it on the first powered rail.
