Build a mirror-image capture-the-flag map and win a two-team match.

Two bases. Two wool flags. One river between them. Sneak in, grab their wool and get home without a hit.

What you’ll build

Build a capture-the-flag map with two mirror-image bases, a river and bridges in the middle, and sneaky tunnels on each side. Fill chests with snowballs, switch to Survival and play matches to see if the map is really fair.

Finish line: Your mirrored map has hosted two matches and a fairness check on which side won more.

Bonus challenge: Add a neutral white flag in the middle worth 2 captures. Does it pull everyone into the centre and make games faster?

You’ll need

  • Red and blue wool
  • Fence posts
  • Chests
  • Snowballs
  • Family or friends to play

You choose

  • Team names: ____________ vs
  • The middle zone (river, canyon, ruined city)
  • Where my sneaky tunnel comes out

Stuck?

  • Mirroring is easier from a centre line. Count blocks out from it on both sides.
  • Snowballs don't hurt players, so play is safe. Agree the hit rule before you start.
  • Friends need Multiplayer Game on in the world settings to join.
