Light one room with hidden lights, one with lamps, then run a light hunt.
The room glows, but there isn't a single lamp in sight. Where is the light coming from? Nobody knows… yet.

What you’ll build
Build two matching rooms and light them in opposite ways: one glowing from hidden lights, the other showing off its lamps. Work out how light fades across each room, run a timed light hunt, then compare lights per 10 m² and view both rooms at night.
Finish line: Your two rooms are lit two ways, the light hunt is done and you've compared lights per 10 m².
Bonus challenge: Mix both in a third room: a few show-off lamps plus hidden fill light. Use your numbers to prove whether it beats both.
You’ll need
- Glowstone or sea lanterns
- Lanterns
- Blocks to hide the lights
- A timer
- A light hunter
You choose
- My sneakiest hiding spots
- Show-off lamps for room B
- Time limit for the light hunt: ___ seconds
Stuck?
- Hidden light not glowing through? Some covers block light and some don't, so test a few before you commit.
- Redstone lamps only shine when powered, so add a lever or redstone block next to them.
- Dark corner? Count blocks from the nearest light; light drops by 1 for each block away.
