drawbridge?

3. Can you give mea seed to

spawn near aforest mansion.

Thanks, fromEwan,Age 8

Hey Ewan!

Thanks for sending

the screenshot,

but we’ll answer

your fi rst question

more generally.

You can fi gure

out what version

you’re playing by

fi rst looking in the

bottom right of the

title screen for the number. If the logo at

the top just says “Minecraft” then you’re

playing the Bedrock Edition, and if

you’re playing another version (e.g. Java

Edition) you’ll see that beneath the logo.

Unfortunately, you can’t build a

drawbridge that will lower, but if you

want one that will raise up you can doit

by placing sticky pistons

below blocks, putting all

of that below a single

layer of water (or lava!)

and then attaching the

pistons to a redstone

switch so that they will

then activate.

Sadly, we don’t

have any seeds that

spawn you close to a

forest mansion for this

version! The best way

to fi nd one is to look

for a village with a

cartographer and trade for a woodland

mansion explorer map. Use Creative

mode to give yourself the emeralds you

need if you want to do it quickly!

Thanks for your questions, Ewan! Hope

those answers were useful.
