Your escape begins in a secure bedrock cell, and the first step is spotting the hidden clues and useful items the map has placed around you. Bedrock can't be mined in normal play, so treat the cell as a puzzle to read rather than a wall to dig through.
Search the Cell Systematically
1. Stand still and turn a full circle. Look slowly at every wall before moving so nothing slips past you.
2. Look up and down. Check the ceiling and the floor as carefully as the walls. Clues are easy to miss when you only look straight ahead.
3. Inspect anything that isn't bedrock. In a room built from bedrock, any different block, sign, container or decoration stands out and deserves a closer look.
4. Interact with what you can. Right-click signs, containers and anything else that looks usable, and read any text in full.
5. Check your inventory after each interaction so you know what you picked up.
Make the Search Easier
- Raise Brightness in Options > Video Settings so dark corners are easier to see.
- Press F1 to hide the HUD if it blocks your view of a wall.
- If you're stuck, walk the cell again in the opposite direction. A new angle often reveals something you missed.
Don't leave the cell area until you're sure you've found everything there. Later puzzles may depend on what you collect at the start.
