Build a scary-looking themed course with fake lava, slow traps and scares.

Glowing 'lava', skulls, cobwebs and darkness. It looks deadly… but it's all a trick. Build the scariest run.

  • New skill Theming with spooky blocks
  • Level 8 · Game Makers
  • Difficulty Advanced
  • Mode Creative
  • Time 45–60 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Build a spooky course that looks deadly but is completely safe. Lay a floor of fake lava, slow players down with cobwebs before the big jumps, add skulls and flickering lanterns, then wait for night and send a brave tester through.

Finish line: Your haunted course has fake lava, slow traps and at least five scares, and it's totally lava-free.

Bonus challenge: Add a 'final scare' at the finish bell: something that appears only when the bell rings. Keep it a secret until someone gets there.

You’ll need

  • Orange and red concrete
  • Shroomlights
  • Cobwebs
  • Soul sand
  • Skulls
  • Soul lanterns

You choose

  • My nightmare: haunted castle, volcano lair or nether nightmare
  • My scariest scare
  • My bet for the scare that gets them

Stuck?

  • Never use real lava or magma blocks. Magma burns anyone standing on it.
  • Want night sooner? Wait for dusk, or use /time set midnight with cheats on.
  • Too dark to see the jumps? Add a few soul lanterns near each landing.
