Build farm islands on a lake, then win the boat delivery race to market.
No land? No problem. In the lake city of Tenochtitlan, farmers built their own islands. Now it's your turn.

What you’ll build
Build long, thin farm islands up from a lakebed with canals between them, then till, plant and grow your crops. Line the edges with trees, build a market at the end of the canals and race a chest boat full of crops to market.
Finish line: Your lake farm has watered islands, a market at the end of the canals and a three-run delivery record.
Bonus challenge: Add a flower island and a boat ferry for visitors. In Xochimilco, Mexico City, chinampas still grow flowers and vegetables today.
You’ll need
- Mud and dirt
- Seeds and pumpkin seeds
- A hoe
- Bone meal
- Saplings
- A boat with a chest
You choose

Stuck?
- Farmland drying out? Water keeps farmland moist up to 4 blocks away, so keep islands thin.
- Pumpkins not appearing? Each pumpkin stem needs an empty dirt or grass block beside it to grow onto.
- Island tops should sit level with the water so the canals can water them.
