Build a marked escape tunnel to the surface and a backup compass.
Getting in is easy. Getting out with loot and a heartbeat behind you? That needs a plan.
- New skill Building an escape route
- Level 5 · Mysteries & Monsters
- Difficulty Intermediate
- Mode Survival
- Time 40–60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Every good agent plans an exit. With your teammate, dig a lit tunnel from outside the city edge all the way up to daylight, marking every turn with coloured blocks and arrows. Craft a recovery compass as a backup plan, then time your escape run to the surface.
Finish line: Your marked escape tunnel leads to daylight, and you have a timed run and a recovery compass.
Bonus challenge: Hide a supply chest halfway up: food, spare snowballs and a torch. Then run the escape with your eyes on the signs only. Did you get lost?
You’ll need
- Pickaxes
- Torches
- Ladders or stairs
- Building blocks
- Echo shards
- A compass
You choose
- My tunnel's name
- The marker colour for "this way out"
- Staircase or ladder shaft
Stuck?
- Ladders need a solid block behind them. A staircase is often easier and safer to climb in a hurry.
- A recovery compass is 8 echo shards around a compass. It points to where you last died.
- Start the tunnel outside the sculk and away from shriekers, as digging makes plenty of noise.
