Introduction Lost!

Deep in the jungle in your Minecraft world, you chop vines, hack brush, and pick cocoa pods. Somewhere in this tangle of leaves and towering trees, a parrot whistles. You follow the sound.

Before long, the light dims and the sky glows orange. The sun is setting. Its time to head back to your shelter. You glance left, turn right, and then stare straight ahead. Nothing looks familiar. A sick feeling sweeps over you. If only you had a map.

Sunset lasts for one and a half minutes in Minecraft .
