How to Use Gold Pressure Plates to Save Your Progress
Finding and Activating Checkpoints
Gold pressure plates are your lifeline in the Parkour Blocks Map. They are placed on gold blocks throughout the course and act as save points for your spawn location.
To save your progress:
1. Jump onto a gold pressure plate when you reach it
2. Stand on the plate until it activates (you'll see a response from the game)
3. Your spawn point is now set to that checkpoint
Why This Matters
If you fall or die after activating a checkpoint, you'll respawn at that gold pressure plate instead of back at the start. This lets you attempt harder sections without replaying easier jumps every time.
Tips for Checkpoint Strategy
- Activate every checkpoint you reach, even if you feel confident
- Don't skip ahead without securing a checkpoint first
- If you're stuck on a section, try practicing from the last checkpoint you activated
- Remember that checkpoints work even inside the Nether dimension, so you can safely explore dangerous areas
