What you’ll build
You wake up with nothing and the sun is already moving. Plan how to split your first day between wood, tools, shelter, light and food, then race the clock to build a secret hideout with a hidden way in. Light it, seal yourself inside and see if your plan beats the night.
Finish line: You made it to sunrise inside a lit, secret hideout, and you know whether your battle plan beat the sun.
Bonus challenge: Make a bed (3 wool + 3 planks) and sleep through Night Two. Or stay up and spy on the monsters through a glass window. Dare you?
You’ll need
- Wood and a crafting table
- Coal or charcoal for torches
- A timer that shows minutes
You choose
- My hideout's secret name
- Hideout style: a burrow in a hill, or a hut on a rock
- What I'll sacrifice if the sun is winning
Stuck?
- No coal? Smelt logs in a furnace to make charcoal, then craft torches with sticks.
- Monsters can spawn in dark corners, so place torches inside the hideout before you seal the entrance.
- Running out of daylight? Drop a lower-priority job and dig into a hill to stay safe.
