This section is for traps that will help players deal with zombies/creepers/evil-sheep

It will be expanded as more traps are created

=Pitfall Trap=

This trap comes in three types.

1). A Simple pit in which the walls are two blocks or taller and prevent the NPC from escaping after it has fallen in

2). A Deep pit in which the intention is to kill the NPC with falling damage (Dangerous to the player)

3). A pit with water/lava at the bottom for quickly disposing of the NPCs

The basic form of this trap is simply a hole, the enemies can only jump as high as you do, so a simple 1x1x2 (1 block area, 2 blocks deep) will capture any enemies falling into it. Careful of spiders though, they love to jump right across pits even 2-3 blocks long.

By strategically placing these pits at the entrances to your base, you can ensure entire areas are off-limits to monsters while retaining your ability to access them (via small jumping puzzles of course)
