LEGO 21242 The End Arena 

LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO Minecraft set "The End Arena".

When an End warrior takes on a dragon archer in the End Arena, they must watch out for more than each other’s weapons. The Ender Dragon sculpture that towers above them launches lava blocks from its mouth, while the movable floor could slide apart at any moment, causing one of them to fall into a pool of lava! Do you have the Minecraft skills to survive a battle in the End Arena?

On the box cover, the fight between the two combatants in the arena is in full swing. The arena of course is at the center of the scene. It's an obsidian platform built above a fiery-orange lava stream. The square platform actually comes with a trap door: in the current scene, the floor is split wide open, revealing a dangerous lava pit! There are obsidian towers at the left and right edge of the arena with end crystals at their tops. At the arena's back edge, you will find the towering black and pink Ender dragon statue; it is spitting out a big block of lava. The End warrior is standing on the left edge of the arena. He is fighting with his Netherite sword, while his opponent, the dragon archer, relies on his enchanted bow and axe for combat. At the front edge of the scene, far away from the arena's platform, a shulker is anxiously peeking out of its shell. To the left of the fight scene, there is an enderman carrying a block. The backdrop of the scene is green Minecraft meadows that are overgrown with lilac choral plants. We will build one of those choral plants, too! Let's get started.

Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you!

The box contains 1 booklet with visual building instructions, and 2 bags with numbers printed on them. Ask a sighted person to help you find the correct bag!

Carefully open bag number 1 and any small sub-bags in it. This bag contains all bricks and pieces for the End warrior Minifigure, the Shulker Minifigure, and the arena platform with trap door and obsidian towers.

Before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier!

First, we will build the End warrior Minifigure.

Note that if you have already opened bag 2 as well, the parts of the Minifigures are identical in shape and only differ in colors and prints. If you are not sure whether you have the correct pieces, ask a sighted person for help.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 lavender and light nougat brown upper part of the body,

and 1 medium lilac pair of legs.

Put the upper body on the legs.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 dark brown square Minifigure head, (this is a smooth cube with a side print)

and 1 silver metallic Minecraft helmet. (This is a squared helmet with squared ear and eye cutouts.)

Put the square Minifigure head on the body.

Put the Minecraft helmet on the head. Make sure the cutouts are aligned with the printed side of the head which is the face print.

Next up, we will assemble the End warrior's shield.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 black round plate 1x1 with bottom shaft,

and 1 medium stone grey flat tile 2x3. (This piece is printed with a lavender and black print.)

Hold the flat tile 2x3 upright.

Put the round plate with shaft on the top connection point of the flat tile. Make sure the shaft is running vertically from top to bottom.

Snap the shaft into the End warrior's left hand. The tile is printed with a lavender background and a black pixelated dragon in its center.

Find 1 titanium metallic Netherite sword (pixelated).

Snap it into the warrior's right hand.

The End warrior Minifigure is finished! Well done! All his prints and features are pixelated and squared: he has a pinkish-beige face with a small black mouth and black-and-white eyes. His hair is dark brown. There is a pixelated scar on his right cheek. His suit is dark and light lavender, and his chest and back plates have golden linings at the top and are yellow and orange checkered below that. He is wearing a black belt, and in said belt he is carrying a potion bottle. With his dragon shield and netherite sword, he is ready for combat! But of course, he will have to wait until the arena and his opponent are built. Let's continue!

Next, we will assemble the shulker.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 lavender inverted flat tile 2x2 with 4 hollow knobs,

and 1 lavender plate 2x2 with 1 knob and 4 corner posts.

Put the inverted flat tile 2x2 on the table, knobs to the top.

Put the plate with 4 corner posts on top.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 pale ocher yellow plate 1x1, (This piece has a small print on one of its sides)

and 1 pale ocher yellow flat tile 1x1.

Take the plate 1x1. Identify the side with the print. It is printed with the black-and-white eyes of the shulker!

Put it on the knob of the previous piece, eye print to the front.

Put the flat tile 1x1 on top.

Find 1 lavender flat tile 2x2 with 4 wall tongues.

Turn it upside down and put it on top of the shulker. The wall tongues fit neatly between the corner posts.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 bright orange plate 6x8,

and 1 bright orange flat tile 2x6.

Put the plate 6x8 horizontally on the table.

Put the flat tile 2x6 horizontally centered on the frontmost row, 1 row overhanging to the front.

If done correctly, there is 1 empty knob to its right and 1 empty knob to its left.

Find 1 bright orange plate 6x8.

Put it horizontally centered underneath the overhanging row of the previous piece, connecting the 2 plates 6x8.

Make sure the edges of the 2 plates 6x8 are flush.

Find 1 medium stone grey flat tile 2x4.

Put it horizontally to the left of the flat tile 2x6, 3/4 of the tile overhanging to the left.

Find 1 pale ocher yellow plate 6x6.

Put it to the left of the plate 6x8 at the front, and mount it underneath the front row of the previous piece. It only connects with the 3 right knobs of its backmost row.

If done correctly, its front edge is flush with the front edge of the front plate 6x8, and its leftmost 3 columns will remain empty.

Find 1 pale ocher yellow plate 6x6.

Put it behind the previous piece and mount it underneath the protruding flat tile's back row. Only the 3 right knobs of its frontmost row will connect.

You should now have a 14x12 base plate.

We will now replicate this on the right side. Continue for detailed instructions.

Find 1 medium stone grey flat tile 2x4.

Put it horizontally to the right of the flat tile 2x6 mounted in the middle, 3/4 overhanging to the right.

Find 2 pale ocher yellow plates 6x6.

Mount them underneath the previous piece, mirroring the left side. Make sure the front and back edges are flush with those of the already mounted base plates.

Collect the following 3 pieces:

1 bright orange flat tile 2x6,

and 2 medium stone grey flat tiles 2x4.

Put the flat tile 2x6 horizontally centered behind the flat tile 2x6 already mounted on the structure. (It's the middle one of the 3 mounted flat tiles.)

Put 1 flat tile 2x4 horizontally to the left of the previous piece, and the other one horizontally to the right of the previous piece.

Collect the following 4 pieces:

2 pale ocher yellow bricks 2x8,

and 2 black palisade bricks 1x2. (The long sides of a palisade brick are curved and have an indentation in the middle.)

Repeat symmetrically on the right.

Put 1 palisade brick 1x2 vertically to the right of the previous piece, skipping the backmost knob.

Repeat symmetrically on the left.

Collect the following 3 pieces:

2 black bricks 1x8,

and 1 transparent bright orange plate 2x2 with 1 knob.

Put the 2 bricks 1x8 horizontally next to each other directly in front of the area with flat tiles. If done correctly, they form a line with the front rows of the bricks 2x8.

Put the plate 2x2 in front of the 2 rightmost knobs of the left brick 1x8.

Find 2 pale ocher yellow flat tiles 2x4.

Turn the entire structure from left to right. Now, the 2 palisade bricks 1x2 are close to the front, and the plate 2x2 from the previous step is towards the back.

Put 1 vertically on the 6th and 7th column from the left, one half overhanging to the front.

Put the other one vertically on the 6th and 7th column from the right, one half overhanging to the front.

If done correctly, there are 6 empty columns between these two pieces.

Find 1 pale ocher yellow plate 2x16.

Mount it horizontally centered underneath the 2 previous pieces. Make sure it is protruding symmetrically to the right and left underneath the 2 previous pieces.

Find 2 black flat tiles 1x6.

First, identify the 2 middle columns of the structure at the front edge. We will use them for reference now, but note that they will remain empty in this step.

Put 1 flat tile vertically to the left of the 2 middle columns, 2 rows overhanging to the front.

Put the other one vertically to the right of the 2 middle columns, again 2 rows overhanging to the front.

Find 1 pale ocher yellow plate 2x8.

Mount it horizontally centered underneath the overhanging parts of the previous pieces.

If done correctly, the front edge of this piece is flush with the front edges of the 2 flat tiles 1x6 from the previous step. Make sure it protrudes symmetrically to the left and right from underneath the flat tiles.

Find 2 black palisade bricks 1x2.

Put 1 vertically on the leftmost column of the previous piece.

Repeat symmetrically on the rightmost column of that same plate.

Find 2 earth blue bricks 2x4 with 3 top cross holes.

There are 2 flat tiles 2x4 mounted vertically directly behind the palisade bricks we have just mounted. We will use them for reference now.

Put 1 brick 2x4 vertically to the left of the left flat tile 2x4.

Repeat symmetrically on the right. The bricks are wedged in between a flat tile 2x4 and a palisade brick on each side.

Keep in mind that these 2 bricks have 3 holes. We will use their middle holes later to mount cross axles.

Find 1 dark stone grey brick 2x4.

Put it vertically on the 2 middle columns of the structure, but make sure to leave the first 3 rows empty.

If done correctly, this piece touches the large flat tile area with its back edge, and the 2 flat tiles 1x6 with its the left and right edge.

Find 2 black palisade bricks 1x4.

Put 1 horizontally to the left of the previous piece's backmost row, and the other one horizontally to the right of that same row.

Find 1 bright purple round brick 2x2 with top cross hole.

Put it on the 4 middle knobs of the brick 2x4 mounted on the 2 middle columns.

Next, we will make a small sub-part.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 medium stone grey brick 1x2 with 2 side knobs on long side,

and 1 dark stone grey plate 1x2.

Put the brick 1x2 horizontally on the table, side knobs to the front.

Put the plate 1x2 upright horizontally on the 2 side knobs.

Mount this sub-part horizontally in front of the round brick 2x2 in the center of the structure.

Collect the following 3 pieces:

1 black brick 1x12,

and 2 black palisade bricks 1x2.

Put the brick 1x12 horizontally centered on the 2 bricks 1x8 forming a single row of bricks at the back (this is the fifth row from the back).

Put 1 palisade brick 1x2 horizontally to the left of the previous piece, and the other one horizontally to the right of the previous piece.

If done correctly, the 2 bricks 2x8 on the left and right edge remain empty.

Collect the following 5 pieces:

2 black palisade bricks 1x4,

and 3 black palisade bricks 1x2.

Put 1 palisade brick 1x2 horizontally behind the round brick 2x2 mounted in the center of the structure.

Put 1 palisade brick 1x4 horizontally to the right and the other one horizontally to the left of the previous piece.

Put 1 palisade brick 1x2 vertically on the palisade brick 1x2 mounted on the left edge (directly next to the brick 2x8). Do not confuse it with the palisade bricks 1x2 mounted at the front edge.

Repeat symmetrically on the right.

Find 2 medium stone grey cross axles 3m. (3m means that this piece is roughly 3 knobs long.)

Identify the 2 bricks 2x4 with holes mounted vertically towards the left and right sides. Do not confuse them with the bricks 2x8 on the edges.

Insert 1 cross axle from the top into the middle hole of the right brick 2x4. Since this brick has three holes, make sure you are not using the front or back hole.

Repeat symmetrically on the left.

Now, we will make the first half of the trap door.

Collect the following 3 pieces:

2 black flat tiles 2x4,

and 1 black palisade brick 1x4.

Put the palisade brick 1x4 vertically on the table.

Put 1 flat tile 2x4 horizontally on the 2 back knobs, 3/4 overhanging to the right.

Put the other flat tile 2x4 horizontally in front of the previous piece, 3/4 overhanging to the right.

Find 1 medium stone grey plate 2x2 with bottom connector.

First, flip the part from the previous step upside down. Turn it so that the palisade brick 1x4 forms a column on the right side.

Put the plate centered on the left edge, connector pointing to the top. This will connect the 2 flat tiles on their left edges.

Find 1 flame yellowish orange technic beam 3m. (This is a smooth beam-like piece with rounded corners and 3 round holes.)

Hold it horizontally, holes running from top to bottom, and insert the previous piece's connector from the bottom into the rightmost hole, beam overhanging to the left.

Find 1 medium stone grey connector peg 2m with middle ring.

Flip the structure right side up again. Make sure the palisade brick is on the left, and the technic beam protrudes to the right.

Insert the connector peg from the top into the rightmost hole of the technic beam, one half protruding to the top.

The first half of the trap door is finished! Well done! Turn it so that the beam with connector is pointing to the left. Put it on the large flat tile area between palisade brick walls. Then, slide it to the left until the beam with connector touches the brick 2x8 on the left edge. The trap door half will only be fixed later, it is loose for now.

Next, we will build the first linkage of the trap door.

Collect the following 3 pieces:

1 black angled cross axle extension 1m x 1m with round hole,

1 black cross axle 4m,

and 1 bright red cross axle 2m with 2 grooves.

Put the angled cross axle extension flat on the table, one arm pointing to the front and the other arm pointing to the right.

Insert the cross axle 4m from the right into the arm pointing to the right, 3/4 overhanging to the right.

Insert the cross axle 2m with 2 grooves from the front into the other arm, 1/2 overhanging to the front.

Find 2 medium stone grey round bushings 1m with cross axle extension 1m.

Hold 1 so that its round hole is running from top to bottom. Put its cross axle extension on the cross axle pointing to the right.

Hold the other one so that its round hole again is running from top to bottom. Put its cross axle extension on the cross axle pointing to the front.

Find 1 medium stone grey connector peg 2m with middle ring.

Insert it from the bottom into the round hole of the shorter arm (that is the arm pointing to the front, one half protruding to the bottom).

Find 1 dark stone grey technic beam 5m.

Hold it horizontally, its holes running from top to bottom.

Insert the protruding connector from the top into the rightmost hole of the beam.

Note that this is a loose connection, meaning that the beam will move around for now.

The first linkage of the trap door is finished! Great job! We will use the 2 empty holes of the cross axle extensions as connecting points. The holes of the technic beam will remain empty for now.

Turn the main structure 90° so that it is vertically oriented, the relatively empty 4x8 area on the right. The first half of the trap door that we have already inserted should be towards the back.

Identify the connector peg sticking out from the trap door half and the cross axle sticking out at the back left edge. We will use those for connecting.

Turn the linkage so that its longer arm is pointing to the right, the shorter arm is pointing to the front, and the cross axle beam is loosely towards the front left.

Now, put the right hole of the linkage on the connector of the trap door. At the same time, put the middle hole of the linkage on the cross axle on the back left edge. This might need some adjusting because the trap door part is not fixed yet.

If done correctly, a small part of the cross axle should still stick out. Also note that the loose technic beam should point to the left and a bit to the front; it will rest on 2 flat tiles that are mounted on the base plate.

Find 1 medium stone grey cross bushing 1x½.

Put it on the cross axle sticking out from the linkage to secure it.

Next, we will make the second half of the trap door.

Collect the following 3 pieces:

2 black flat tiles 2x4,

and 1 black palisade brick 1x4.

Put the palisade brick 1x4 vertically on the table.

Put 1 flat tile 2x4 horizontally on the 2 front knobs, 2/3 of the tile overhanging to the left.

Put the other flat tile 2x4 horizontally behind the previous piece, 2/3 overhanging to the left.

Find 1 medium stone grey plate 2x2 with bottom connector.

First, flip the structure from the previous step upside down. Keep the palisade brick on the right edge.

Put the plate with connector centered on the left edge, connector to the top.

Find 1 flame yellowish orange technic beam 3m.

Hold it horizontally, holes running from top to bottom.

Put the rightmost hole on the connector of the previous piece, 2/3 overhanging to the left.

Find 1 medium stone grey connector peg 2m with middle ring.

Flip the structure right side up again, keeping the palisade brick on the right edge.

Insert the connector peg from the top into the leftmost hole of the technic beam, one half sticking out towards the top.

The second half of the trap door is finished! Well done! Turn it so that the technic beam with connector peg is pointing to the front.

Insert the trap door half into the flat tile area in front of the first trap door sub-part. Push it to the front (it will slide on the flat tile area) until the technic beam touches the brick 2x8 at the front edge.

Next, we will build the second linkage of the trap door.

Collect the following 3 pieces:

1 black cross axle 4m,

1 black angled cross axle extension 1m x 1m with round hole,

and 1 bright red cross axle 2m with 2 grooves.

Put the angled cross axle extension flat on the table, one arm pointing to the front and the other arm pointing to the left.

Insert the cross axle 4m from the left into the arm pointing to the left, 3/4 overhanging to the left.

Insert the cross axle 2m with 2 grooves from the front into the other arm, 1/2 overhanging to the front.

Find 2 medium stone grey round bushings 1m with cross axle extension 1m.

Turn both so that their round holes are running from top to bottom.

Put them on the 2 cross axles of the linkage.

Find 1 medium stone grey connector peg 2m with middle ring.

Insert it from the bottom into the round hole of the shorter linkage arm (this is the arm that is pointing to the front. One half of the connector peg is protruding to the bottom.

Find 1 dark stone grey technic beam 5m.

Hold it horizontally, its holes running from top to bottom. Insert the connector of the previous piece from the top into the leftmost hole of the beam.

Again, this is a loose connection, the beam will move around.

The second linkage of the trap door is finished! Well done! First, turn it so that the longer arm is pointing towards you, and the shorter arm with technic beam is pointing to the right. The technic beam should be to the left back.

Put its frontmost hole on the connector peg of the trap door half. At the same time, put its middle hole on the cross axle sticking out at the front left edge.

Again, part of the cross axle will stick out after mounting. Make sure the technic beam is pointing to the left and slightly to the back while resting on 2 flat tiles that are mounted on the base plate.

Find 1 medium stone grey cross bushing 1x½.

Put it on the cross axle that is still sticking out towards the top.

Now, we will build the slide trigger of the trap door.

Collect the following 2 pieces:

1 medium stone grey flat tile 2x4,

and 1 medium stone grey plate 2x2 with side shaft with ball.

Put the plate with shaft and ball on the table, shaft with ball pointing to the back.

Put the flat tile 2x4 horizontally centered on top, symmetrically overhanging to the left and right.

Find 2 dark stone grey plates 1x2.

Flip the part upside down, shaft with ball now pointing to the front.

Put 1 plate 1x2 vertically on the leftmost column, and the other one vertically on the rightmost column.

Find 2 medium stone grey plates 2x2 with bottom connector.

Put 1 on the left half of the part, connector to the top.

Put the other one to the right of the previous piece, connector to the top.

The slide trigger of the trap door is finished! Flip it right side up again, shaft with ball still pointing to the front. Then, turn the whole structure horizontally, making sure that the 2 loose technic beams of the linkages are pointing towards you.

To mount it, we will insert the 2 connectors of the slide trigger from the top into the 2 frontmost holes of the technic beams. Since the beams are not fixed yet, this might take a bit of time. Lower the slide trigger onto the beams without pushing them in, and adjust the beams so that their holes are aligning with the connectors. Then try pushing them in. Ask for help if it does not work out.

With this, you have finished building the trap door mechanism! Great work, this was difficult to build! Pull on the trigger and push it in to move the trap doors and open or close them.

Find 2 black inverted roof tiles 2x2, 45°.

Before you mount them, identify the 2 palisade bricks 1x2 that are mounted vertically on the front edge to the left and right of the slide trigger.

Put 1 inverted roof tile on the left palisade brick 1x2 at the front edge, slope overhanging to the right.

Put the other one on the right palisade brick 1x2 at the front edge, slope overhanging to the left.

If done correctly, these two pieces enclose the slide trigger.

Find 2 black plates 4x6 with 12 knobs on 3 edges.

Turn 1 vertically so that the edge without knobs is on the left.

Put its backmost row on the horizontal wall of palisade bricks that is mounted at the back, starting from the left edge of that wall.

If done correctly, this piece will be mounted directly to the right of the brick 2x8 on the left edge. It will only sit on knobs of palisade bricks; the 2 middle knobs of its frontmost row will not connect to anything.

Repeat symmetrically on the right with the other plate, knobless edge to the right.

Collect the following 3 pieces:

1 black plate 4x4,

and 2 black plates 2x6.

Put 1 plate 2x6 vertically to the left of the previous piece, aligning the backmost row of the new plate with the frontmost row of the previous piece.

If done correctly, this piece will connect the horizontal palisade bricks in the middle with the inverted roof tile at the front, while the frontmost row of the inverted roof tile remains empty.

Repeat symmetrically on the left.

Put the plate 4x4 between the 2 previous pieces, aligning the backmost rows of those three pieces.

Find 2 dark stone grey plates 1x2.

Put them horizontally in front of the 2 plates 2x6 of the previous step. If done correctly, they will cover the frontmost rows of the inverted roof tiles.

Next, we will build the 2 obsidian towers.

Find 4 black bricks 2x2.

Stack 2 on top of each other, their shapes matching.

Repeat with the other 2 bricks.

Find 4 medium lilac round plates 1x1.

Put 1 on the front right knob of one obsidian tower.

Put another 1 on the back left knob of the same tower.

Repeat with the second tower: put 1 round plate on the front right knob, and the last one on the back left knob.

Find 4 black plates 1x1.

Put 1 on the front left knob of one of the towers, and another one on the back right knob.

Repeat with the second obsidian tower.

Find 2 black bricks 2x2.

Put 1 on each obsidian tower.

Next, we will build the intermediate plates for the towers.

Collect the following 4 pieces:

2 dark stone grey plates 2x2 with 1 knob,

and 2 dark stone grey plates 3x3.

Put the 2 plates 3x3 next to each other on the table.

Put 1 plate 2x2 on the front left corner of one of the 3x3 plates, leaving the backmost row and rightmost column empty.

Repeat with the other plate 2x2 on the other plate 3x3.

Find 4 black flat tiles 1x1.

Put 1 on the leftmost backmost knob of one intermediate plate.

Put 1 on the frontmost rightmost knob of that same plate.

Repeat with the 2 remaining flat tiles 1x1 on the other intermediate plate.

Find 2 dark stone grey corner tiles 1x2 - 1x2.

Put 1 on the back right corner of one intermediate plate, matching the shape of that corner. If done correctly, the corner tile will sit between the 2 previous pieces.

Repeat with the remaining corner tile on the other intermediate plate.

The intermediate plates for the towers are finished! Great job! Put them centered on the 2 towers. Make sure that the plate 2x2 with 1 knob is in the front left corner in both cases.

Next, we will build 2 smaller intermediate plates.

Collect the following 6 pieces:

4 black plates 1x1,

and 2 dark stone grey plates 2x2 with 1 knob.

Flip the 2 plates 2x2 upside down and put them next to each other on the table. That will be a bit wobbly because they will each rest on only 1 knob.

Put 1 plate 1x1 on the front right corner of one plate 2x2.

Put another plate 1x1 on the back left corner of that same plate 2x2.

Repeat with the 2 remaining plates 1x1 on the other plate 2x2.

Find 4 dark stone grey plates 1x1.

Put 1 on the back right corner of one plate 2x2.

Put 1 on the front left corner of that same plate.

Find 2 transparent bright orange plates 1x1.

Flip the 2 smaller intermediate plates right side up again.

Put the 2 plates 1x2 on the single knobs of the intermediate plates.

Make sure the sides of the smaller and larger plates are aligning in parallel.

The 2 smaller intermediate plates are finished! Mount them centered on the 2 bigger intermediate plates. Since the single knobs on the towers are not in the center, you need to attach the front left corners of the smaller intermediate plates. Make sure that the intermediate plates are centered and their edges are running in parallel.

The 2 obsidian towers are finished! Very well done! Before you mount them, identify the 2 bricks 2x8 mounted on the left and right edge of the structure.

Mount 1 obsidian tower on the 4 frontmost knobs of the left brick 2x8. Make sure the lilac round plates in the middle of the tower are at the front right and back left.

Repeat symmetrically on the right, lilac round plates again at the front right and back left.
