What you’ll build

Plan a build carefully, then show it growing. You'll draw your design, gather every block you need and mark one viewing spot. Build in stages from floor to details, taking a picture from the same spot each time, then explain your plan to someone.

Finish line: You have a picture of every stage from the same spot, and you can explain your plan.

Bonus challenge: Try it again from a different viewing spot, or draw each stage as a comic strip.

You’ll need

  • Your blocks, in the hotbar or a chest
  • A marker block for your viewing spot
  • Someone to explain your plan to

You choose

  • What to build (house, tower, fountain…)
  • One spot to view each stage from
  • How many stages

Stuck?

  • Pictures don't line up? Stand on your marker block and face the same way every time.
  • Screenshot buttons differ by device. If it's tricky, sketch each stage on paper instead.
  • Keep all your blocks in a nearby chest so you're not hunting for them between stages.
