Adventure Map

Why just build a house when you can build a whole adventure? This guide shows how to make a stone gateway that leads friends into a cave full of traps, lava, and treasure — a mini quest you design yourself.

Step-by-Step

  1. Adventure Map — step 1: Build a stone gateway entrance

    Build a stone gateway entrance

    Build a 3-block-wide, 4-block-tall arch of stone bricks above a dirt path. Add warning signs and a ring of torches so players know the adventure starts here. Make the path lead into a cave mouth.

  2. Adventure Map — step 2: Design the cave with traps & lava

    Design the cave with traps & lava

    Inside, carve a winding tunnel. Add a lava pool players must cross with a bridge, a dead-end with a sign reading 'turn back!', and a pit trap covered by a single block. Light it just enough to see — not too bright.

  3. Adventure Map — step 3: Hide the treasure chest at the end

    Hide the treasure chest at the end

    At the deepest point, place a chest with loot (food, iron, or a written book 'map'). Put it behind a fake wall or above the lava so it feels earned. Add signs telling the story as players explore.

Pro tip: Write your story in Books & Quills and leave them in chests — it makes the adventure feel like a real quest your friends can play!
