Run a sculk sensor tournament and find the moves that make it fire.
Something in the city is listening. Every step, every block, every crunch. Find out exactly what it hears.
- New skill Wiring a sculk sensor to a lamp
- Level 5 · Mysteries & Monsters
- Difficulty Intermediate
- Mode Survival
- Time 40–60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Collect a sculk sensor and set up a lab at home where it lights a lamp whenever it hears something. Then run a sound tournament, testing one move at a time: walk, sneak, jump, eat, open doors and more. The moves that stay totally silent become your city moves.
Finish line: Your sensor lamp works, and your score sheet shows exactly what the city can hear.
Bonus challenge: Step back one block at a time, walking each time, until the lamp stays dark. You've found the edge of the sensor's hearing. Mark it with a sign!
You’ll need
- A Silk Touch pickaxe
- Redstone dust
- A redstone lamp
- Tripwire hooks and string (backup)
- An experienced player alongside
You choose
- My secret lab's name
- The 8 moves in my tournament
- My bet for the sneakiest move
Stuck?
- Sculk sensors only drop when mined with Silk Touch. Without it, use a tripwire as a stand-in.
- Stay well away from shriekers when collecting a sensor, and sneak the whole time.
- Results muddled? Stand at the same spot each time and change only one thing per test.
