Build a spooky dungeon gate that opens only when the relic goes in.

A skull-shaped gate, sealed for a thousand years. Drop the relic in… and the stone grinds open.

What you’ll build

Build a huge, ancient-looking dungeon gate that stays sealed until the relic goes into a hidden barrel slot. Hide all the redstone behind the walls, then hand someone the relic and watch the stone door grind open.

Finish line: Your dungeon gate opens only when the relic goes in and slams shut when it comes out.

Bonus challenge: Add a second key slot so the door needs TWO relics at once. Hint: each slot gets its own torch, and both must switch off.

You’ll need

  • Sticky pistons
  • A barrel
  • A comparator
  • A redstone torch
  • Redstone dust
  • Cracked bricks and cobwebs

You choose

  • Gate look (skull, cave mouth, sunken temple)
  • The relic that is the key
  • Words carved above the door

Stuck?

  • Door won't open? The comparator must point away from the barrel, into the block the torch sits on.
  • Door won't close? The torch must power the sticky pistons when the barrel is empty.
  • Redstone often takes a few tries. Test it in the open before hiding it behind walls.
