Hide a doorway in a wall with sticky pistons and a secret lever.
- New skill Sticky pistons push and pull blocks
- Level 1 · The Village
- Difficulty Beginner
- Mode Creative
- Time 30–45 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Build a secret passage that slides shut. You'll cut a doorway in a thick wall, stack sticky pistons to the side with wall blocks stuck to their faces, then wire them to a hidden lever. Flip it and the doorway vanishes into the wall.
Finish line: Flipping the lever closes the doorway so it looks like wall, and flipping again opens it.
Bonus challenge: Make the lever hard to spot by surrounding it with decorations, then build and decorate the secret room behind the door.
You’ll need
- Sticky pistons
- Blocks that match your wall
- Redstone dust
- Lever
You choose
- Where the secret door goes
- What the hidden room is for
- Where to hide the lever
Stuck?
- Pistons face towards you when placed, so stand in the doorway when you place them.
- Only one piston moving? Check the dust sits right behind the top piston, on a block behind the bottom one.
- Tricky build, so a few failed tries are normal. Practise in a flat world first if you like.
