Build a spooky dungeon gate that opens only when the relic goes in.
A skull-shaped gate, sealed for a thousand years. Drop the relic in… and the stone grinds open.
- New skill Building a comparator key door
- Level 8 · Game Makers
- Difficulty Advanced
- Mode Creative
- Time 45–60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Build a huge, ancient-looking dungeon gate that stays sealed until the relic goes into a hidden barrel slot. Hide all the redstone behind the walls, then hand someone the relic and watch the stone door grind open.
Finish line: Your dungeon gate opens only when the relic goes in and slams shut when it comes out.
Bonus challenge: Add a second key slot so the door needs TWO relics at once. Hint: each slot gets its own torch, and both must switch off.
You’ll need
- Sticky pistons
- A barrel
- A comparator
- A redstone torch
- Redstone dust
- Cracked bricks and cobwebs
You choose
- Gate look (skull, cave mouth, sunken temple)
- The relic that is the key
- Words carved above the door
Stuck?
- Door won't open? The comparator must point away from the barrel, into the block the torch sits on.
- Door won't close? The torch must power the sticky pistons when the barrel is empty.
- Redstone often takes a few tries. Test it in the open before hiding it behind walls.
