What you’ll build
Draw your best invention like a real patent drawing, then build a grand Patent Office with a slamming stamp machine. Write the patent in a book, pitch it to a strict patent officer and, if they approve, stamp it as Patent No. 001.
Finish line: Your invention is written up, questioned, stamped APPROVED and on display as Patent No. 001.
Bonus challenge: Let the patent officer file their own silly invention. Now YOU ask the 3 tough questions. Do they deserve the stamp?
You’ll need
- Sticky piston
- A button
- Redstone lamp
- Book and Quill
- Lectern
- A family member as the officer
You choose
- The invention that gets Patent No. 001
- My office style
- My stamp block
Stuck?
- Stamp block stuck down? Use a sticky piston, not a normal one, so it pulls the block back up.
- Lamp and piston not firing together? Run the button's dust so it touches both.
- Stuck on the write-up? Answer four things: its name, what it does, how it works and why it's new.
