One-way Doors Don't Work Anymore
As of update 1.8 (or 1.9), soul sand and repeater-based one-way doors are not possible to make. As a result, I am removing one-way doors from the page.

Fixing this tutorial
Though I don't currently have the time to do it myself, I noticed that this page needs some help. It's main problem is being too specific, to the point that it's become a list of random trap ideas. Here's how I think this page could begin being fixed:


 * 1) Switch from a format of displaying specific traps to showing players trap components. This gives more freedom to the reader to create, teaches more about the ways traps work, and avoids creating repetitive lists. This format should also help remove traps which do not work.
 * 2) Change out all trap schematics to using the newer schematic template.

This is just a start because I haven't read through the entire page. I understand that the page doesn't just talk about building traps but also about diffusing them along with other topics related to traps. Hopefully someone else does something before I do it all!

"Bedrock Edition traps"
Is the section "Bedrock Edition Traps" necessary anymore? After redstone was added to BE, almost every Java Edition trap works in BE as well, so I think this section should be removed. 85.76.85.127 10:32, 7 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I think the "Java Edition only" tag should be added for all traps that use mechanics not available in Bedrock Edition such as quasi-connectivity and the same should apply in reverse for features available in the Bedrock Edition but not the Java Edition. This means thereshouldn't be two independent sections any more.

Missing Traps and Triggers
There are some missing traps and triggers here:


 * The blaze player detector.
 * The puffer fish player detector.
 * Bubble column water elevator traps (be pushed up into lava, trapped with pufferfish, ETC).

These can all be seen on the hermitcraft server videos.73.208.227.101 17:58, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
