Build a lighthouse, then fly out to sea at night to find its rescue range.
Night falls. Ships are lost off your coast. Only your lighthouse can guide them home… if they can see it.

What you’ll build
Build a striped lighthouse on the coast that narrows as it rises, crown it with a lamp and predict how far out to sea it can be seen. At night, fly straight out until the light vanishes, work out the range, then swap the lamp and fly the same route for a Light Duel.
Finish line: Your striped lighthouse stands on the coast, with its rescue range measured and a Light Duel compared.
Bonus challenge: Place a boat at the edge of the range as a 'lost ship', then fly out on a diagonal and use the shortcut trick to find the straight-line distance home.
You’ll need
- Concrete in two stripe colours
- Light blocks for the lamp
- Glass
You choose
- Lighthouse name and stripe colours
- Tower height (25–40 m): ___ m
- Light Duel: ____________ vs
Stuck?
- Waiting for night? Use /time set night if cheats are on, or just wait for dusk.
- Both lamps vanish at the same spot? Your render distance setting probably decides it. That's a real finding.
- Keep it fair: same route, same flying height and the same render distance for every run.
