This tricky trial in the sky begins with a few simple jumps between platforms—easy enough.But then you need to traverse a block bridge that moves from side to side, requiring you to wait until they align, then take it a few blocks at a time. You then teleport to another island where you’re then met with another moving bridge, followed by some platforms that carry you through the sky.Eventually you’ll hit a dead end, and the platforms won’t move any closer to the massive island, so you’ll need to take a leap and glide over.
