How to build it
- Get the blocks from the list above.
- Pick a flat spot that is at least 15 by 3 blocks.
- Press Start building. The guide shows one layer at a time. Put blocks on the yellow squares and press I placed them.
- After each layer you get a little party. After the last one, you get a badge in My builds.
Good to know
- The mossy blocks around the gate are the arch: build them with the wall, layer by layer.
- Put a row of these gates together to make a whole castle wall.
