How to complete the Mine Time! duty in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Mine Time! duty in DDV, you need to craft one Mine Cart Popcorn Bucket. The name of this task can be a bit misleading, as you might expect you need to tackle some mining around the valley to get it done. Instead, this hint is actually a reference to the item you need to make.
In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the dwarves regularly venture into the mines and use a minecart to get around. For this duty, you need to make a popcorn bucket version of their minecart. No actual mining of rock nodes or Gems is necessary to get this task done.
How to craft Mine Cart Popcorn Bucket in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To make the Mine Cart Popcorn Bucket, you need to gather plenty of Parks Fest Buttons. There are four specific color variants you need to make this item, including Green Buttons, Blue Buttons, Red Buttons, and Purple Buttons. Here's how many you need of each type and how to earn them.
Button | Amount | How to get |
---|---|---|
Green Button | 40 | Earned by finishing daily and weekly Parks Fest event quests. |
Blue Button | 15 | Can be fished out of white bubble spots around the Peaceful Meadow and Dazzle Beach biomes as long as Park Fest is active. |
Red Button | 10 | Can be found anywhere in the wild around the valley near both villagers' and players' homes. You can find this resource in any classic biome, including the Plaza, Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, Glade of Trust, Forest of Valor, Sunlit Plateau, Frosted Heights, and Forgotten Lands. |
Purple Button | Five | Can be crafted using one Blue Button, two Red Buttons, and 100 Dreamlight. |
Like all popcorn buckets, this one requires a lot of resources. If you don't want to gather all of the items required, you might consider using the Uncrafting Station to disassemble other buckets so you can make this one.
To use this machine, you need to unlock the Cheshire Cat and complete his friendship level seven The Uncrafting Station quest. It takes a while to get both done, but it might be worth it if you aren't up for gathering the required Buttons.

Mine Time! reward in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Completing the Mine Time! duty for the Parks Fest event unlocks two rewards, which are the Mine Cart Popcorn Bucket furniture item and the Mine Cart Handheld Popcorn Bucket accessory item. Visually, both items look identical, but they can be used in two different ways.
The furniture version of this item can be placed anywhere you can decorate, including the valley and all homes you own. The accessory variant can be equipped on all outfits and carried around as you traverse through the valley.
There are plenty of other popcorn buckets you can make throughout this event. If you're interested in collecting all of them, consider working on Oh, Bother, Craftily Ever After, Destination: Imagination, A Shining Icon, and Stitch-y Situation next.
