What you’ll build

Build a stepped hill with three routes up, easy to tricky, and a glowing crown on top that lights when someone stands on it. Players defend the crown with snowballs, and the first to hold it for a full minute wins.

Finish line: Your hill has a glowing crown, three routes, three rounds played and crown times on the score sheet.

Bonus challenge: Build a second, smaller hill where crown time counts half. Does the game spread out and get more exciting, or just confusing?

You’ll need

  • A redstone lamp
  • A stone pressure plate
  • Gold blocks
  • Snowballs
  • A stopwatch

You choose

  • My hill's name
  • The 3 routes up (stairs, ladder, parkour, your own)
  • Hits before the king steps down: 3 or 5?

Stuck?

  • Use a stone pressure plate. Wooden ones can be set off by snowballs and arrows too.
  • Lamp not glowing? The pressure plate must sit directly on top of the lamp.
  • Everyone must be in Survival, or the crown holder can just fly away.
