Jesse Barel and Dean Klugman in Year 6 have made many Minecraft puzzle adventures together for our class, including escape rooms and puzzle courses. Here are some projects we have done so far:

How I got 14K Downloads on The Parkour Cube

I have coded a map named The Parkour Cube! The aim of the game is to jump from block to block, solve puzzles and reach the finish! I entered this map in a competition called 10x10x10 challenge, which requires you to create a game inside a 10x10x10 space. The challenge was hosted by Nico.

 

In Minecraft, you can use Command Blocks to code. Every block contains a line of code and can be placed together to create a system. Here is a photo of all the commands from above, but to see the individual code you have to open the blocks. 

Here is an example of the inside of a command block, this particular command tests if you are holding a key. 

 

 

After I entered the competition I decided to publish my map on another site, Minecraft Maps. Not all maps are accepted on Minecraft Maps, so I was very happy when it was accepted.

Soon after, I updated The Parkour Cube to v1.1, made a trailerand a walkthrough for YouTube. Before I knew it, 9Minecraft.netand MinecraftSix.comhad posted my map on their websites. I uploaded my map to Planet Minecrafttoo. The Parkour Cube has been a great success and currently has 14,528 downloads on Minecraft Maps, with 12 videos on YouTubeby different creators. If you own a Minecraft account, you can play the game for yourself!

Dungeon Escape

I have coded and created some escape rooms and a quiz, the quiz in one escape room you will start off falling down a huge drop and then the next thing you know you’ll be trapped in a dungeon. In the dungeon you’ll have to figure out codes and get through a maze and find tools on the way. You’ll have to craft ladders and place them down where you can escape the dungeon to an igloo where you can mine the snow blocking the exit with the tools you would have found in the maze.

 

We hope that our class will be able to play it by Term 3! Once we are done all our maps and levels we will put all our maps together and hopefully publish them to Minecraft Maps and Planet Minecraft. Once we have published them we will publish a walkthrough and trailer to YouTube.
