Invent a machine, build it, test it 20 times, improve it and pitch it.
Top inventors are gathering. Every booth has a working machine. Yours has to be the one they talk about.

- Level 10 · Legends of Lilora
- Difficulty Advanced
- Mode Creative
- Time 60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Pick a real everyday annoyance and invent a redstone machine to beat it. Build version one, stress-test it and log every jam, then build an improved version two and test again. Finish with an expo booth and a quick pitch to a family investor.
Finish line: Your invention works better in version two, has its own expo booth and has faced a family investor.
Bonus challenge: Build version 3 and chase a perfect 10 out of 10. Then add a patent plaque with the date and your signature.
You’ll need
- Redstone dust
- Pistons
- Observers
- Hoppers
- A banner and signs
- A stopwatch
You choose
- My invention's name
- The real annoyance it beats
- My pitch slogan
Stuck?
- Write down every failure honestly. Failures show you exactly what to fix in version two.
- Observers fire from their back face when something changes in front, so check which way they point.
- Fix the worst problem first, not every little thing at once.
