What you’ll build
Race the sun! You'll craft your first wooden tools, gather more wood and some dirt, and build a small shelter with no holes. Add a door, keep one eye on the sky, and be safely inside before dark so you can step out into day two.
Finish line: You have wooden tools and you're inside a closed shelter when night falls.
Bonus challenge: Add a window made from a fence block, so you can peek outside safely.
You’ll need
- Planks and sticks
- Crafting table
- Wood and dirt for walls
You choose
- Which tool to make first
- Shelter materials (wood, dirt…)
- Shelter shape
Stuck?
- Day lasts about 10 minutes. When the sky turns orange, head inside and close the door.
- Check every wall and roof corner for gaps. A missing block is all a monster needs.
- Build small. A tiny shelter is quicker to finish and easier to keep safe.
