Build an opening cutscene: a minecart ride past 5 story scenes.

Lights down. Take your seat in the minecart. The story of the map is about to roll past your eyes.

What you’ll build

Build the opening cutscene for your adventure: a minecart ride past five dark story scenes. Detector rails flash each scene's lamps as the cart rolls by, and short captions tell the story. Can a rider retell it?

Finish line: Your minecart ride rolls past five story scenes that flash on cue, and a rider can retell the story.

Bonus challenge: (cheats on) stand by the track as the live director and type /title @a title at each scene, so giant words flash across the rider's screen.

You’ll need

  • Rails
  • Powered rails
  • Detector rails
  • Redstone torches
  • Redstone lamps
  • A minecart

You choose

  • My ride's name
  • My 5 scenes, in order
  • How the ride ends

Stuck?

  • Cart stopping? Powered rails without power act as brakes. Put a redstone torch beside each one.
  • Lamps must sit right next to the detector rail to flash as the cart passes.
  • Keep each caption short. Riders only get a second or two to read it.
