Soccer Quest Overview
The Soccer quest is worth doing because it gives you a useful Soccer Ball block and 300 Gold without requiring a long trip through the stages. Instead of launching a boat, you must guide a huge soccer ball into the nearby goal.
Start the quest from the Quests menu with your building area cleared. A giant ball appears in the building space, along with a net that marks the finish. The objective sounds simple, but the ball is heavy, rolls easily after a push, and can be frustrating to steer with only your character.

The quest is listed in the game’s quest selection, so you do not need to find a hidden trigger. Once the ball crosses into the goal correctly, the completion sound plays and the reward is granted.
Starting the Quest Safely
Clear your build space before trying to begin. Existing blocks can prevent quest setup or leave obstacles in the path of the ball. This is especially important if you previously built a boat, farm, or test machine near the soccer area.
After selecting Soccer in the quest menu, walk over to the ball and look at its position relative to the goal. Take a moment to plan a straight route. The ball can continue rolling farther than expected, so trying to correct it after a hard push is usually more difficult than lining up your tool first.
| Before you begin | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Clear all placed blocks | Lets the quest start and keeps the field open |
| Check the goal direction | Reduces wasted pushes and overshooting |
| Build behind the ball | Gives you forward force instead of sideways drift |
| Keep parts unanchored when needed | Allows pistons or moving parts to function |
| Use small adjustments | Makes the rolling ball easier to control |
Avoid relying on old glitch tutorials. Some older methods used teleportation, flight, or physics behavior that may no longer work consistently. A simple physical pusher or harpoon setup is usually more dependable.
The giant ball is not the same as the Soccer Ball block you receive as a reward. The quest ball is much larger and much tougher, so do not expect ordinary player movement to control it well. Treat it like a heavy movable object rather than a normal block.
Reliable Ways to Move the Ball
A basic pusher is one of the easiest approaches for new players. Place blocks behind the ball, add several pistons facing toward the goal, and attach a button. When activated, the pistons push the ball forward in a controlled direction.
Build the device close enough to contact the ball, but leave room to make corrections. If the pusher starts too far to one side, the ball may roll diagonally and miss the net. Three pistons can work, while additional pistons may create a faster push.
- Place your pusher directly behind the ball.
- Make sure the moving parts are not anchored.
- Aim the pistons toward the center of the goal.
- Activate the button briefly at first.
- Reposition or rebuild if the ball begins drifting away from the net.
- Use a final gentle push when the ball is near the goal.
| Method | Materials or tools | Best use | Main drawback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Piston pusher | Blocks, pistons, button | Controlled forward movement | Requires correct alignment |
| Block hook | Unanchored blocks and binding | Low-cost nudging | Can be slow to steer |
| Harpoon pull | Harpoon | Pulling the ball toward your build area | Needs careful positioning |
| Long horizontal block | Flag, mast, or extended part | Reaching under or behind the ball | Can be awkward to aim |
A block hook is another accessible option. Create a large unanchored hook-shaped frame that catches the side or back of the ball. Then move the build so it applies pressure in the needed direction. This method can be cheaper than a piston machine, although it takes patience.
Harpoons are useful when the ball is positioned poorly. You can attach a harpoon and pull the ball closer to an area where you can build a better pusher. Do not pull too aggressively; a sudden change in direction can send the ball away from the goal.
A long horizontal part, such as a flag or mast, can also create leverage. Extend it behind the lower portion of the ball and use it to nudge the ball forward. This is helpful when you need reach without building a large machine.
Steering Tips and Reward Details
The biggest challenge is controlling momentum. Once the soccer ball starts rolling, it can keep moving long after the initial push. A strong hit may look efficient, but it can send the ball past the net or into a wall where recovery takes longer.
Use short pushes for the opening moves. As the ball approaches the goal, switch from power to accuracy. Centering the ball before the final push is more important than making it move quickly.
| Situation | Recommended response |
|---|---|
| Ball is barely moving | Add pistons or improve contact behind it |
| Ball rolls sideways | Rebuild the pusher at a more centered angle |
| Ball passes the goal | Pull or nudge it back with a harpoon or hook |
| Ball is stuck near an edge | Use a long block or harpoon to reposition it |
| Ball reaches the goal area slowly | Make a small final push rather than a full launch |
The current standard reward is 300 Gold and one Soccer Ball. The reward block can be used in later builds, while the Gold can help you purchase other blocks and tools.
Players may encounter references to an older secret reward for bringing the giant ball all the way to the Treasure. That reward was removed. It once gave much more Gold and multiple Soccer Balls, but it should not be treated as part of the current quest strategy.
Focus on scoring the normal goal. Trying to transport the ball through every stage is not a practical way to complete Soccer today, and guides centered on that older secret are outdated.
FAQ
How do I complete the build a boat for treasure quest soccer?
Clear your building space, start the Soccer quest from the menu, then push or pull the giant ball into the net. A centered piston pusher is one of the most reliable methods.
What do I get for completing Soccer?
You receive 300 Gold and one Soccer Ball block after the giant ball enters the goal.
Why will the ball not move when I walk into it?
The quest ball is extremely heavy. Character movement alone usually does not provide enough force or control, so use pistons, a hook-shaped build, a harpoon, or a long block.
Do pistons need to be unanchored?
Yes. If your piston device is anchored, its moving parts may not work as intended. Check the anchor setting before activating the button.
Can I still get the old secret Treasure reward?
No. The former secret reward for taking the soccer ball to the Treasure was removed. Complete the regular goal objective for the current reward.
