Fortify a village with a wall, gates, watchtowers and zero dark corners.

Pillagers spotted on the ridge! You've got three in-game days to turn a sleepy village into a fortress.

What you’ll build

Scout a village from a hill and draw it, then race the clock to fortify it in three in-game days. Work out the wall's perimeter, build it with two gates, raise watchtowers at the weak corners and light every dark patch before a final night patrol.

Finish line: Your village has a wall, two gates, two watchtowers and no dark corners left.

Bonus challenge: Dig a ditch or moat outside one wall. Which raiders do you think it would slow down, and which wouldn't care?

You’ll need

  • Cobblestone
  • Logs
  • A stack of torches
  • A family member or friend

You choose

  • My fortress village's new name
  • Wall style: stone, logs or a mix
  • My bet for the number of wall blocks

Stuck?

  • Leave villagers room inside the wall to reach their beds, workstations and the bell.
  • Never hit a villager. The iron golem will come after you.
  • Mobs appearing inside? Light the dark gaps between houses and behind buildings.
