What you’ll build
Give your HQ a big upgrade. Build a wall that slides away with sticky pistons when you press a hidden button, add a spyglass lookout over the land and a map room for your case files. Wire secret night lights to copper bulbs, then give your family a before-and-after tour.
Finish line: Your HQ has a hidden piston door, a spyglass lookout and secret night lights.
Bonus challenge: Add an escape chute: a trapdoor in the office floor that drops into water and leads to your vault from Mission 492.
You’ll need
- Sticky pistons
- Redstone dust
- Buttons
- Copper bulbs
- A spyglass
You choose
- My agency's new name
- Gadget one: piston door or trapdoor chute
- Lookout style: tower, crow's nest or rooftop
Stuck?
- Sticky pistons need slime balls. Slimes spawn in swamps at night and in some spots deep underground.
- A button only sends a short pulse. Copper bulbs flip on or off each time, which is perfect for night lights.
- Door won't move? Power one piston at a time to find the one that isn't getting a signal.
