What you’ll build
Build street lamps that know when it's dark. You'll make fence posts topped with redstone lamps, set a daylight sensor on each one and switch it to night mode. Line your path with them, wait for sunset and watch them light up by themselves.
Finish line: Your lamps stay off in the day and switch on by themselves at night.
Bonus challenge: Light the whole path from the houses to the pond, or join several lamps to one sensor with redstone dust.
You’ll need
- Daylight sensors
- Redstone lamps
- Fences or walls for posts
You choose
- Lamp post design
- Where the lights go (path, bridge, pond)
- How many lamps
Stuck?
- Lamps on during the day? Tap the sensor once to switch it to night mode. Its colour changes.
- Nothing happening at sunset? Turn off Always Day in world settings so time moves.
- The sensor needs open sky above it. Move it out from under roofs and trees.
