Build hidden piston curtains that close at sunset and open at sunrise.
Nosy neighbours? Creepy faces at the window? Build curtains that slam shut at sunset all on their own.
- New skill Hiding sticky pistons in a wall
- Level 6 · Inventor's Lab
- Difficulty Intermediate
- Mode Creative
- Time 45–60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Hide four sticky pistons in a thick window wall, each holding a wool curtain block. Wire them to a night-mode daylight sensor so the curtains slide shut at sunset, add a Movie Night lever, then run a reliability test.
Finish line: Your wool curtains slide shut at dusk and open at dawn, with a Movie Night lever to close them any time.
Bonus challenge: Make a second window where the closed curtains form a 2 × 2 picture or a secret message only visible at night.
You’ll need
- Sticky pistons
- Wool
- Glass
- Daylight sensor
- Repeater
- A lever
You choose
- Curtain colour or pattern
- The view from my window
- My bet: perfect closes out of 10
Stuck?
- A lazy piston needs dust pointing into it or a powered block right beside it. Test each one alone.
- Curtains closing in the day? Tap the daylight sensor to switch modes.
- Pistons need room to move: keep the curtain gap clear of other blocks.
