Build a one-button cutscene where the sky, storm and titles change on cue.

Press play. The sun sinks, thunder rolls, and giant words announce: Chapter One. Your first cutscene.

What you’ll build

Write a four-beat script for your first cutscene, then build a cinema seat and a play button. One press sets the sky to sunset, rolls in thunder, flashes a giant chapter title and finishes calm, all on cue.

Finish line: One press of your play button changes the sky, rolls thunder, shows a title and fades to calm.

Bonus challenge: Make a second ending: a sunrise version with a happy title. Which ending do your family prefer?

You’ll need

  • Command blocks
  • Repeaters and redstone dust
  • A button
  • A seat
  • Cheats turned on

You choose

  • My cutscene's story
  • Mood: spooky storm or golden sunset
  • The final words on screen

Stuck?

  • Freeze the clock first with /gamerule dodaylightcycle false, and set it back to true when you're done.
  • Everything happens at once? Add repeaters between the command blocks to space out the beats.
  • Thunder can bring lightning. End the scene with /weather clear.
