SMP Easy Player Trap - Games

This will be an easy make mob/player trap that has to be manually initiated. Clear out the initial plot. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/014.png[/img] Clear out the middle 3 by 3 atleast 4-5 down. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/025.png[/img] Get inside, and put up torches 2 down from surface. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/035.png[/img] Put signs under it with an empty space between. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/043.png[/img] Make a way out if you want, an easy way in and out without being too obvious. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/053.png[/img] Clear out another block down of the side 3 by 2 [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/063.png[/img] Put gravel over the torches. The torches will keep it up, you can place them right on top of them. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/072.png[/img] Put 2 gravel blocks over each torch. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/081.png[/img] Put a torch on the lowest gravel block in the center, then put gravel on that torch. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/092.png[/img] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/106.png[/img] Put lava in the 3 by 2 rectangles on the furthest block from the 3 by 3 plot. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1121.png[/img] Now hide the lava by putting something not effected by gravity on top of said gravel. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1212.png[/img] Get on the inside. Use the SNEAK key (or shift, by default to hide your name, and wait for someoen to walk over your area. If you want to trap a mob, use the f3 key and you will see a moving number where a mob is if it's near you. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1411.png[/img] When you need to trigger it, break all torches, or if you can pinpoint which of the 3 by 3, hit the torch it is under. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1511.png[/img] RUN [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1611.png[/img] This can be replicated with water, or with no 2 by 3 plot and just trap them before you just sword them down and steal their loot, or use a cactus floor. EDIT: If you know an automatic way to break the torches or release water to break the torches, please post your idea.

Too bad most servers disable lava.

Still works with a cactus floor and water for a drowning trap, although with water you would have to make a pillar in the center. The water however gives him more time to react, and the cactus is less likely to fully trap him.

You can knock out the torches using water, simply wire redstone to a source block to make it flow in and knock them out. Here's a video that explains this, since vague text won't help. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_IbGccd9No[/media] You can also use lava in a similar way to flow in and kill them. If you're elaborate enough, you can try to suspend some lava using torches/signs and have it kill the player while leaving or carrying away the loot.

I've heard of that, it's brilliant but it doesn't work with the design and requires more work to reset, and this is designed for SMP pvp However, I'm not a genius and the signs destroy any amount of gravel, Im not quite sure how well it would work. Also, preassure plates+redstone in the open gives the trap away, this is easily hideable in a gravel beach or desert.

[QUOTE=Rammlied;28961064]I've heard of that, it's brilliant but it doesn't work with the design and requires more work to reset, and this is designed for SMP pvp[/QUOTE] A reset probably wont take longer than yours, and I don't exactly know what you mean with the second part. I've never bothered making traps in SMP myself, but please elaborate.

Not longer, but to keep it hidden without it interfering with the water/lava spots would a bit more harder to reset. What I mean is it being designed for SMP is it has to be easily hidden without being found, and unless someone has an idea where it is (people can see torches that are close underground by using F) it should blend in.

Might be better to disguise it as normal sand so instead of gravel you could use sand.

That doesnt look suspicious at all. Make it look more world made by not having it just be a 3x3 thing of gravel in the middle. It just looks like a fucking trap.

It can be used in desert with sand as I said. If you put sand/gravel over it to match the scenery you can't tell it's there.

use sandstone/sand. Sandstone for those parts that need to be raised up.

I've always wanted to trap players with obsidian in servers with no commands, they'd be stuck in there forever if they're not carrying a diamond pick.

[QUOTE=Glent;29004861]You can punch out obsidian. I've done it before.[/QUOTE] Yep, it only takes one minute to break.

[QUOTE=Barrowsx;29004944]Yep, it only takes one minute to break.[/QUOTE] And drops nothing

encase them in a 2 layer thick set of it, FUUUUUUCK!!!! Or put lava on the other side
