Build a sky course with checkpoint flags that change where players respawn.

You fall. You groan. You're back at the very start… Not in YOUR game. Build checkpoints that save the day.

What you’ll build

Build a parkour course high in the sky, split into sections with a checkpoint flag after each. Hidden command blocks save the player's respawn point and flash a message, so a fall sends them back to the last flag.

Finish line: Your sky course has working checkpoint flags, and the final flag sends winners home to the lobby.

Bonus challenge: Add a secret skip flag that only brave players reach with a scary jump. Does anyone find it?

You’ll need

  • Command blocks
  • Pressure plates
  • Banners or wool flags
  • Cheats turned on

You choose

  • My sky course's name
  • My checkpoint flag colours
  • How many checkpoints is fair

Stuck?

  • Turn on Keep Inventory with /gamerule keepinventory true so falls don't scatter your items.
  • Respawning at the start? Make sure you actually step on each checkpoint's pressure plate.
  • Test in Adventure mode, not Creative, or you'll never fall for real.
