What you’ll build
Build a giant red button that sets off a 3, 2, 1, GO! countdown across everyone's screen. Line up command blocks with repeaters between them, tune the gaps until the timing feels perfect, add a sound and start a race with it.
Finish line: One press of your big red button counts down 3, 2, 1, GO! with a sound, and the race is off.
Bonus challenge: Add a decoy button right next to the real one that only says NICE TRY. Who presses the wrong one first?
You’ll need
- 4 command blocks

You choose
- What my GO screen says
- My button's design
- The race it starts
Stuck?
- Numbers all appear at once? Add more repeaters or tap them for more delay. Each tap adds 0.1 seconds.
- Chain blocks only run if the block before them points into them. Check the arrows on their sides.
- Set the chain block to Always Active, or it will wait for redstone that never comes.
