Build a lighthouse and a street that lights itself up at night.
Ships are crashing in the dark and the town is pitch black. Invent the light that changes everything.

- Level 7 · Time Travellers
- Difficulty Intermediate
- Mode Creative
- Time 40–50 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Build a striped lighthouse with an old-style fire on top, then upgrade it to a ring of redstone lamps. Wire a street of lamp posts to a daylight sensor, flip it to night mode and wait for sunset to see the whole town light up by itself.
Finish line: Your lighthouse glows with a lamp ring and your street lights itself up at sunset.
Bonus challenge: Make the lighthouse flash with a redstone clock, so ships can tell it apart from the town. Count the flashes per minute.
You’ll need
- Redstone lamps
- Redstone dust
- Repeaters
- A daylight sensor
- A lever
- A campfire
You choose
- My lighthouse's name
- Stripe colours
- Number of lamp posts on my street
Stuck?
- Lamps on in the daytime? Tap the daylight sensor to flip it to night mode.
- Far lamps not lighting? Redstone fades after 15 blocks, so add a repeater before then.
- Redstone dust needs a solid block under it. Run it under the road, not over water.
