Disambig gray  本文章介绍的是陷阱的教学和制造方法。关于游戏里自然生成的陷阱,请见“沙漠神殿”。

此页不含刷怪塔中,怪物磨床机装置。

陷阱是一个在多人游戏中由玩家制造的、用于自动伤害或杀死其他玩家或怪物的机关。以下是一些简单的陷阱以及它的制造方法,读者需具备一些简单的机关制造原理,方能了解其中的奥妙。 陷阱也是机械里的一部分。

本文的来源是英文版的Minecraft Wiki翻译,翻译中也更改了一些不合理的地方,也在文章提供了加强陷阱的建议,欲阅读原文,请参考Minecraft Wiki

以下是翻译者阅读后对于每一个陷阱的评价与可行性:

怪物:专门困着、伤害或者杀死怪物用的陷阱,对玩家的效果极少或无效。

新手:专门对付新手的陷阱,稍微有经验的玩家便能看出其中的蹊跷
中等:只要放置在适当的地方,大多数玩家都会触发陷阱。
高级:即使是骨灰级玩家,有时候也是难免触发的陷阱。
绝对致命:无法被破解,只要进入陷阱范围就必死无疑。

简单的陷阱与诡计

死亡之屋

用任何固体材料制造一间屋子(避免使用防爆炸的材料如黑曜石), 然后用TNT将房子完全包覆,之后再加上一层方块以遮盖TNT。 在入口放置两扇铁门和石质压力板,在压力板下的方块置放TNT,然后在房子里放上一个明显能看得到的箱子以吸引尝试进入的玩家。 当他们踩到压力版并且进入房子后,就会引爆TNT!
注:部分服务器不允许玩家置放TNT,不要太过期望他们会在短时间内允许你。

可行性:新手
建议:
把房子建造得更像在野外生存的废弃临时避难所,需要有床、工作台、火把以及箱子。地点也要适中,最好是在深山里。也方便你躲在树后观察受害者。

伪装小屋

TNT藏在在一间小屋里的某些部分(墙壁里/地下)等待被引爆,其中一个最好的办法是将点燃TNT的红石电路连接至电灯的开关,也可以使用BUD开关

可行性:中等

建议:放置告示牌说明“拉下拉杆以开灯”,并在家里明显地放置红石灯,把房子布置得更像一间家。haha

窒息床

建一间高度为2个方块、屋顶厚2两个方块的屋子,在角落里放两个方块,在方块上放床。当其他玩家尝试在上面睡觉,醒来后头将会卡在天花板里导致窒息而死。

File:Bed Trap 2.png

一张成功的窒息床

注:死后的玩家将会在一开始的重生点复活,而不是刚刚的床。

可行性:中等,玩家能在窒息死之前破坏方块。
建议:等玩家睡着后才放置方块,最好是使用难以破坏的方块,例如黑曜石。也可以使用活塞来驱动方块,这样就能在室外遥控进行。这是一个入侵别人家的好办法。因为死亡后他不能马上回到家,除非复活点和他的家很靠近。

灵魂沙陷阱

你需要15个灵魂沙方块来完成这个陷阱(或者是3个灵魂沙和其他12个不受重力影响的方块。)

首先,在地上挖一个1x3的洞(大小可自定义),补上灵魂沙。之后在灵魂沙的外边建造一个三层高的方块(之后会拆除)。

在第三层的方块建一个框把灵魂沙包起来,把第一和第二层方块摧毁就完成了。

File:SoulSand Trap 1.png

小规模灵魂沙陷阱

File:SoulSand Trap 2.png

大规模灵魂沙陷阱

两格高的生物如玩家和怪物(爬行者僵尸骷髅等等)走入陷阱后就无法走出来了,对于有开放飞行功能的服务器,请建造屋顶。

可行性:怪物。适合用来刷怪,或者是安置在刷怪塔里。
建议:由于玩家能轻易破坏灵魂沙来逃过这个陷阱,可以在灵魂沙下放熔岩来避免玩家破坏,顶部的阻挡方块可以使用黑曜石

贪婪陷阱

贪心陷阱是利用玩家无知的贪婪来引诱他们坠入陷阱。

比如用物品展示框展示钻石放置于能观察到地方(记得要摆成像炫富的样子),然后参考上文的伪装小屋等等。

或者告示牌写“踩在踏板上以获得某物”,然后从发射器中给出一个,接下来,为了获得更多,玩家会反复跳跃激活踏板,利用中继器延时配合活塞、水构建窒息房,或者直接扔TNT下来,就凭爱好咯。(玩家可能会用一进一退的方式代替反复跳跃,那么就把活塞困住的范围,从1X1变成2X2或更大咯!)

熔岩篇

13w24b的福,羊毛可以做成地毯放置了。我们可以把一个过道铺上地毯,其中一部分地毯下面放上熔岩,过道对面是钻石块等东西。就等着那些贪心鬼畅游熔岩之中吧!(熔岩可以换成其它机关暗器)

贪心人的坟墓

你需要:
钻石盔甲 (全套\附魔为佳),
钻石块钻石矿石(通过精淮采集获得),
(任何一种),
(任何一种),
钻石剑附魔为佳),
地狱岩
打火石
火把
可选:更多的钻石块或钻石矿石。

挖一个三层深的洞,洞外用地狱岩包围起来,点上火,跳进去洞里,用钻石块把洞口封起来。然后继续往下挖,直到至少24层深为止(跌死的最低限度)
当有人站在钻石块上并且采集它,他就会跌进洞里并且爆装,这时你就可以收集他的物品并且收回你的钻石快来重新设定陷阱。

假设跌落的玩家有穿盔甲,跌落后以最快的速度杀死他。要注意的是他复活后很有可能找来他的朋友或者是利用某些方法来杀死你(往洞口倒水、熔岩、丢炸弹等。

你可以放置更多的钻石块,或者是在山洞里使用钻石原石安装这个陷阱,让更多人上当。

可行度:新手,专门对付过于贪婪、做事前不三思的玩家。
建议:在天然洞穴中安装这个陷阱能使效果倍增,不过就不必放置地狱岩了,可以使用火把来标记出钻石,这看起来像是某玩家的标记,让人更容易上当。当然,稍微有经验的玩家会先挖开钻石矿石附近的方块,这时陷阱就暴露了。

钻石块与蠹虫陷阱

做一个3x3垫的黑曜石/基岩顶部的地方一个钻石块。

接下来,把黑曜石将四周除了一面全部围绕。

最后,放一个蠢虫怪物蛋在空的一面,这个陷阱就设置好了!

注意:如果你把大量的蠹虫怪物蛋附近的话这个陷阱是最有效的,最好放个牌子说“拿我的钻石!”

这个小偷会被蠹虫屠杀。

这个陷阱,显然只有你是OP不是所有任何其他有用的。

假矿 您需要:大量的TNT,令人信服的结构,看起来像矿场或一个废弃的矿井,一个触发器,一个铁门和一些红石。

准备工作:

  1. 把TNT层以下的的受害者将屹立不倒。
  2. 将让玩家“进入”我的一个铁门。
  3. 触发的TNT接线,但要确保触发门附近。
  4. 将您的“矿井”的说法,“钻石矿”。附近的一个标志
  5. 等待你的第一个不幸的受害者。

执行的陷阱:

  1. 受害者注意到您的“矿井”,并认为你可能有钻石或其他贵重物品存放在裡面。
  2. 受害者看到的触发和假设,它的门。
  3. 受害者激活触发器和被吹到天空高。

开採后的矿石块,粘活塞活塞的变体去除地板上,是一个教程,用户掉进底孔。

末地陷阱

需要:
几个钻石块
1个末地传送门方块
1个活板门
1个压力板

首先,在一个2x1的隧道尽头,放置几个钻石块,然后在钻石块前挖一个三格深的洞,在底部一个末地传送门方块。之后用活板门盖着洞口,洞前放置一个压力板。假设受害者没有留意到压力板的话,就会被传送到末地。

可行性:中等
建议:使用石质压力板,放置在石头上,在光线不足的地方较难发现。或者可以使用活塞来代替活板门,那么就更难发现了。
同样的,要对付老手,一定要使用钻石矿石,并且放置在天然矿坑里。

File:End Trap 1.png

一个末地陷阱的直切面,羊毛是为了让压力板更清楚,实际上要使用石头

廉价贪婪陷阱

所需材料: 箱子, TNT, 压力板和红石(可选)。

在一个由石头或泥土制成,高两个方块的长通道的尽头放置一个箱子。在箱子前,挖一个一个方块宽两个方块深的洞。在底部放置一个TNT方块,在其上放置一个看上去平常的方块,以及最后放置一个压力板在上面。你可以根据通道的长度在地底放置更多TNT(但是一定要将它们全部难以觉察地覆盖,因为当玩家听到了TNT点燃他们可能会往回跑)。无论是谁踩在空箱子前面都会点燃TNT。你会需要在每次点火之后重建整个陷阱。以更多的资源为代价来确保死亡,在所有TNT下放置红石线,以便让它们立即点燃。

好奇陷阱

制造一间有铁门的房间,在铁门外放置一个压力板进入房间后他就被困住了。

这个陷阱有五个破解方法,每一个破解方法都能被预防:

  1. 挖着逃出去。破解方法:在地下放置至少五层深的熔岩,这样就不能填补熔岩了。
  2. 打穿墙壁逃出去。破解方法:在墙壁内层灌入熔岩。
  3. 打爆铁门逃出去。破解方法:在铁门上放置熔岩。
  4. 使用自己的开关打开铁门。破解方法:在放置开关的地方后放置TNT,但是避免和熔岩接触。
  5. 多人模式可用指令/home。破解方法:叫你好朋友OP关他权力,或者把他困到下届传送门中并将出口封上(传送门方块中不能打开聊天框),而且还顺便预防了他带了黑曜石和打火石。
File:Curiosity Trap 1.png

完成图

注:红色羊毛表示熔岩,注意TNT的放置位置,其实五边都要放(门的左上、左下、右上、右下、和脚下)。

可行性:高级。除非是有遇过或者是看过陷阱制作篇的玩家,不然进入后都无法幸免。

建议:使用红石电路,在玩家踩下压力板开门后,红石触发计时器,让活塞在玩家进入后在门口上方打开一个洞口,让熔岩留下来,这样就能避免玩家在打破铁门后迅速逃离现场。

贪婪铁轨

制作一段长充能铁轨,充能除了第一块以外的所有。放置一辆矿车以及一个开关在第一块铁轨上来让车子移动。放置一块写着"(你的名字)的钻石矿坑,严禁进入"的告示牌在旁边。

然后建造一段在顶端有一段急下降的长上坡轨道。在矿车落下的地方,做一个4x4,深两个方块的洞然后用熔岩填充它, 以便让玩家忽然落入熔岩然后失去他们所有的物品。你可以用稍后用一个桶来拜托熔岩。 注意:确保熔岩在下降前不可见来避免玩家跳出来。

另一个方法是制作一个向下的长隧道,用一般铁轨,以及当轨道转过一个角,放置熔岩。 最好你有火把沿着隧道这样那人不会察觉到即将发生什么。

邪恶矿石

超级简单的陷阱,不过却非常有效。
放置一个矿石原石,如铁矿石。在它后面插一根红石火把,在另外一个石头上也放置一根红石火把,使用红石线链接它们。在另一个红石火把处放置大量TNT发射器或者任何机关都可以。这不单是一个简单的陷阱,也非常容易制造。如果连接高频的时钟电路再连接输入“移动被暗算者至某处”的命令方块的话,你甚至可以判处被暗算者无期徒刑!

爆炸性陷阱

【译自:Explosive Traps】 爆炸性陷阱指的是以TNT为主的陷阱。

厄运之门

【译自:Door of Doom】 放置一个铁门,在地下层的地方制造一个填满TNT的大坑,最后在铁门边放置压力板就完成了。
当有人要进入房间时就会被炸飞天。

可行性:致命,非常普通又经典的陷阱,时常防不胜防,一旦触发压力板就必死无疑(前提是TNT要够多) 建议:安置在别人家地下是非常致命的。

地雷

最简单的地雷莫过于挖一个两层深的洞,放置TNT,放置和地表一样的方块,再放置压力板,就完成了。
当有玩家或怪物踩到时,他就会被炸到。(一个不能保证死亡)

注意:当使用木质压力板时,掉落的物品能触发地雷;另外,此陷阱对玩家没有太大的效果,因为玩家再听到TNT被触发时,还有延迟时间能闪避爆炸,用走的就能在TNT引爆之前离开爆炸范围。解决办法是把一个有火焰弹的发射器连接到压力板+放个TNT矿车在发射器的前面(可以加额外TNT),然后玩家就必死无疑了!

另外,在沙漠的地雷能发挥沙子的自然掉落性质。在安置好地雷后,把TNT下方挖空,那么一旦TNT被触发时,沙子就会落下,幸运的话受害者还会一起落下。如果你有一间漂浮的房子或者桥,你可以使用同样方法来安装地雷,沙砾也能使用。当受害者踩到地雷时,他会落下并且受伤/死亡,假设他没死,TNT会帮你炸死他。

为了增加地雷的可信性,可以使用骨粉催生附近的杂草,使到地雷难以被发现。也可以放置在山坡处,这样玩家就会不知觉地踩上地雷、或者是放在树的后面。

当石质压力板放置在石头上时,几乎难以被察觉。特别是在光照不足的时候。

可行性:中等,一般上压力板出现在不应该出现的地方肯定有诈,所以资深玩家不容易上当。 建议:使用地雷的好处就是对付行动缓慢的怪物,比如说史莱姆

弱智陷阱

非常弱智但制造简单的陷阱。 挖一个3格的洞,放置一个TNT,用材料填好后,放一个显眼的开关。对于好奇心重的新手来说,这个简单的陷阱无疑威力巨大。 同时,你可以将这个按钮放在门旁边,以更逼真,你也可以将这个按钮连接多个TNT,可以保证死亡率。

连续刷怪陷阱

建造这个陷阱,你首先需要淮备: 刷怪蛋(这个陷阱的灵魂,越多越好);压力板(或者绊线钩和绊线,但我个人推荐压力板);发射器一个或两个;红石尽量多,有必要的话带上中继器。 制造的方法:首先,放上发射器,如果你使用绊线钩来作为而触发机关,你必须在发射器下垫一个方块放置绊线钩,然后放上触发机关,如果是压力板,那么用红石线将压力板和发射器连起来,绊线钩的话就连在发射器下的方块上。然后,如果使用压力板,就在发射器炮口的前一格放上另一个压力板,这样就差不多完成啦!然后在发射器里填上刷怪蛋,有人踩到压力板或者碰到绊线的话,就会有源源不断的怪淹死TA! 原理:当怪从发射器被发射出时,怪物本身也会碰到绊线,于是再次触发机关,于是源源不断的怪就这样出来了。 破解方法:站着不动,只要站着不动就能防止再次触发;放水冲掉线并显露出压力板;把发射器里的蛋拿走。 缺陷 使用绊线钩触发:需要相当大的空间;怪有时会“走不动”(对于以上两种情况,可以使用远程攻击怪物的刷怪蛋);绊线浮空的话很容易被发现;如果被特殊原因触发的话会使整个机关暴露。 使用压力板触发:只能在石头地面上使用,否则会十分显眼;触发的范围没有绊线大,如果要达到绊线的效果要耗费许多成本。 “适合人群”:走路不看路的人;眼力不好的人;疾跑的人。 不适合人群:老手;安全感差的人。 致命的情况:怪物卡壳,在通道窄而低的地方出现;自己触发了机关,这个防不了。

捕获的地雷

这是针对熊孩子比其他玩家好奇心更重而设计的陷阱,挖一个3×3×4的坑,黑曜石是2、3、4层的墙壁,中间四块左右增加门(门是熊孩子陷阱的内部,TNT向下计数)最后在中心加2个TNT,盖上压板。在石花花和石压板走廊获得最好的结果是。 侧视图: d d
d_d <-- 表面
sss <-- 地面 (1)
oto <-- 地下 (2)
oto <-- 地下 (3)
ooo <-- 地下 (4)

俯视图: 表面- 地面(1)- 地下(2/3) 地下(4)-

俯视图示意图(从高到低

改良地雷

先挖一个5x5,4个方块深的坑。然后将边和底填上黑曜石,但不要填顶上一圈,否则别人会看见。你应该会剩下一个3x3x3的洞。放置两层TNT然后用一层适合环境的方块覆盖。最后加块石制压力板在任何一个TNT方块上。

火矢

这个陷阱将会给一个不幸的玩家来一场火矢雨。 首先,做一个带有熔岩墙壁的长走廊,让熔岩墙壁看起来像装饰品 接下来放置压力板,按钮,拉杆,或者是其他你想用来激活的装置,把它连接到一个脉冲发生器上去。接着把它连接到一排放满了箭的发射器上去(发射器在熔岩后面,这样可以点燃箭形成火矢)。一旦玩家激活了这个陷阱,他们就在这燃烧的箭矢中洗淋浴吧!

陷阱矿石

你需要的材料: TNT, 两个 红石火把, 沙子沙砾 (optional), 任何种类的矿石石头.

在矿石的后面方置红石火把。 放一块就在它的上方,它基于火炬。另一个在红石火炬。然后围绕顶部火炬TNT。 警告:不要低于顶火炬或TNT将掀起。 掩盖矿石,等待有人来我这!

File:OreTrap.png

How to set it up.

遥控炸弹

【译自:Remote Explosion】 制造一个远程遥控炸弹是可能的,只需要使用鱼竿和木质压力板就行了,将鱼竿抛向木质压力板就能触发炸弹。不过这个方法比较不稳定,因为掉落物能触发木质压力板。

陷阱地雷

不同于地雷和改进的地雷,地雷陷阱坑害怪物或玩家时,TNT有足够的时间爆炸。<BR> 首先,挖下四块。接下来,把受重力影响的块(沙砾或沙)放在TNT上,把压力板放在沙上。你也可以把水放在底部的孔。 请注意,这个陷阱的很少对玩家有效,因为他们最有可能避免压力板。为了获得最大的效果,建议你把陷阱在门前,他们通常都是成对便于开启压力板。 注意:这个陷阱是有效是因为进入的生物在TNT的打击几乎是不可能生还的。

爆炸与燃烧

熊孩子喜欢炸掉或烧掉别人的房子。为了阻止这发生在你身上,用木头或羊毛(最好是羊毛)做一间假屋子然后用木头、圆石,或泥土来填充箱子,甚至用煤,使屋子看上去像真的。不要将它们完全填满。将其下的区域填满TNT然后用TNT制作一些延伸出屋外的"辐条"。

注意:制作比图示更多的辐条。

当屋子被烧毁,里面的TNT会引爆外面的TNT飞向熊孩子。甚至当熊孩子以为他在一个安全的足够远的距离之外,他会被炸向外面的TNT炸死,所以你的假屋会与他同归于尽。

水下避难所

注:仅能用于多人游戏! 首先,造一个水下避难所,并在里面放一些较为珍贵的东西(如钻石、附魔防具等)。然后,挖一个能通到避难所、地面或另一个安全区的隧道。然后,藏在里面并说:“我迷路了!现在谁都可以拥有它。”当有人进入时,在避难所下面点燃一个TNT并马上沿先前挖好的隧道逃出。 The ideal trap should be able to function without external stimuli (Someone igniting TNT or flicking a switch manually) using redstone or pressure plates, as these would make the existence of this trap somewhat pointless because someone could easily wait for you to go offline before stealing your well-earned loot.

报警隧道

建立一个隧道通往门与杆附近。将压力板和熔岩,活板门水,或根据他们的火。当一个玩家拉杠杆打开门,门打开而不是陷阱。令人烦恼的是,铁门无法打开,压力板毫无意义,如果你想要的,讨厌的音乐可以在注释块。防洪墙的熔岩更有趣。

燃烧的陷阱

建立一个小型的庇护所,外墙用石头搭室内却用木头(不过,不要把石头搭在屋顶上,因为你就要躲在这里)。使用铁大门作为的防护和电线从屋顶可以是关闭。加载车顶与TNT(越多越好,对吧?)。当玩家走,顶上带开关关闭的门。光房顶着火,然后点燃TNT。跑去享受屠杀。

简单的矿井

这是一个非常简单的陷阱,虽然它是致命的。挖至少5块方块,然后填补了TNT直到有四块的顶部。把一块TNT两块以上,然后把碎石或沙子上然后压板。然后,当熊孩子或其它玩家走过压力板,他们将陷入这个陷阱并被炸死。

Proximity Bomb

A proximity bomb is a player detector paired with an output of TNT. It destroys itself and blows up its surroundings when the player gets close, and it should often be undetected.

This design, the smallest by far, involves the use of cave spiders and/or silverfish and/or bats as they are the only mobs that can fit in a 1x1x1 area.

挖方块陷阱

这种陷阱当玩家挖掉该方块后被激活。方块上的红石火把随之掉落触发一个非门,第二段红石线被激活,导致TNT被点燃。

这种陷阱的一个优点是,触发它并不需要激活压力板或拉杆等(当只有一个玩家时)。它也很易于制作,因为你可以在地图上对多个方块布线。在不同位置,应使用同一种方块。在洞穴里可以用矿石,沙漠里可以使用暴露的矿石(就像是沙子下降使它裸露在外),玩家建立的城市里可以使用稀有的方块,如钻石块或金块。

你可以用活塞而不是非门来把TNT激活,这种方法的优点是被困住的方块自身不需被布线。

闭塞粘性陷阱

如果你的目标成功激活了这个陷阱,他无异于被禁止做任何行动。陷阱包括任何开关(压力板可能是最好的一个选择)和两个粘性活塞。在激活活塞开始反复运作后,目标会在他们之间移动。这使目标移动很快,即使他/她有一个钻石镐也无法挣脱。确保你给予目标的空间是封闭的,以及你所用的材料硬度足够高,但注意活塞不能移动黑曜石或基岩。 注:不确定是否你可以用附魔了挖掘效率的钻石镐摆脱一个石头制成的闭塞粘性陷阱。

粘性活塞陷阱

           活塞陷阱

This trap is similar to the door trap, except less visible. The design involves 1-9 sticky pistons, 1 pressure plate, a block/roof over the pressure plate so the mob can't escape (1 block high for chickens, slimes, magma cubes or silverfish, 2 high for creepers, players, NPC villagers, skeletons, zombies or zombie pigmen and 3 blocks high for iron golems and endermen) and 4 blocks to hide the sticky pistons. Dig 1 block down, and place the pressure plate in it. Dig two blocks down the blocks adjacent to the pressure plate. At the bottom of each 2 block deep pit, place a piston. Place 4 blocks that can be pushed by pistons above the pistons. It is advised to use blocks fitting the environment for low visibility. It is possible to create a chain of piston traps side-by-side and make a barrier.

Note: Do NOT use sand or gravel as your blocks effected by pistons. Also, exercise caution when dealing with skeletons (as they can shoot from the trap while being protected from the sun by the roof), and with creepers, (which can explode if you are close to the trap). It is possible to create a clock, connect it to an AND gate the plate, and wire it up to a dispenser loaded with arrows, as shown here - http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Traps#Sticky_Piston_and_Arrow_Trap Also, here is a video of it.

(Note - No AND gate is used in this, but it shows a similar idea)

活塞TNT陷阱

此陷阱是1×2的过道, 或许可以放在你仇人的矿道里. 放置一个压力板, 当那个可怜的家伙站到上面的时候, 两个活塞被触发,挡住了那个快乐矿工的去路,接着TNT被触发,然后就没有然后了!

活塞TNT陷阱2

This trap is made mainly for mob killing (or very gullible friends) It works similar to the Piston Trap above, but this just shows you the simplest way to do it. Note that this video does not actually work, as the player can walk right though primed tnt. To make the trap work, another block must be added above the piston with the tnt on the surface.

屋顶TNT陷阱

A 'Roof TNT Trap' can be made by putting a pressure plate next to a door then wiring that pressure plate to activate TNT hidden in the ceiling. This works best in a small area such as a mine. To limit the space the target can run, use an iron door and only place the pressure plate on the outside. To further limit the space the target can run, have the pressure plate also wired to an inverted piston that drop gravels, blocking the remainder of the tunnel.

活板门熔岩陷阱

File:Pitfall lava trap.png

This trap utilizes wandering mobs, trap doors, lava, and pressure plates. To see how it's made, view the diagram on the left, and to see it in game, view the image beneath it.

The Trap In Game.

This trap can also be made with water and signs. Make the hole 3x3x4 instead, and fill the bottom with signs, and replace the lava with water. This takes away the problem of having to collect lava. This will also fix the problem of the lava destroying the mob drops.

挖矿陷阱

Note: The double door glitch only works in older verions! Very simple. Use the double door bug so one of the iron doors stays open and then put a pressure plate inside a room. Then mine a block out of the wall and place lava 2 blocks back and seal it up with some ore, so when people mine the ore, the lava comes out and they can't escape because when they try to exit the iron door closes. Here is an overhead view:


A very similar trap to this one is to fill the person's house with block 97 (which spawns silverfish when mined). Mining it also has the added bonus of activating other silverfish blocks in the immediate area. When they mine the block, they will be attacked, if not killed.

门的陷阱

这个陷阱非常简单。在门前你要挖一格宽一格长的洞,弄多深都行。尽可能使你的坑靠近门,并确保从门的同一个侧面激活它。一旦你的坑做完了,返回到地面。在底部放两个TNT。在顶部放一个沙子或者沙砾。在沙子或沙砾顶部放一个石质压力板(这说明它只能被玩家或生物激活) When a player or mob steps on the pressure plate the delay between the pressure and the door opening will be just long enough for the TNT to activate, causing the player or mob to fall to their deaths. Notes: The delay will only help if there is NO gap whatsoever in between the pressure plate and the door. Optional: Place lava at the bottom of the pit so players aren't motivated to come back for their drops (make sure lava is placed more than one block from the bottom so it isn't smothered by the sand/gravel).

门的陷阱2

This is a very simple and also rather obvious trap that is made by putting a pressure plate in the middle of 4 open doors so that the victim is trapped inside when they enter, you may also decide to put a block 2 blocks higher than the pressure plate to stop the victim jumping out. This is a very quick and easy to set up trap, making it ideal if you are new to minecraft or simply in a hurry. It is also recommended that the pressure plate is made of stone so that a player can not activate the trap without standing on it, this can be achieved by throwing a block onto a wooden pressure plate. A simple way to make it into a drowning trap is to add a block of water in the block above the pressure plate. When combined with a block on top, the player/mob will drown and not be able to escape. Another way to make this trap more deadly is to place a block of TNT right under the block with the pressure plate on it. Since TNT explodes relatively fast, even if the person manages to get out of the trap quickly, the TNT will probably explode before they have moved a safe distance away. Another fairly simple way is to replace the doors with iron doors and make the top stone and the pressure plate stone and put lava in the middle burning player/mobs making easy to collect their items.

门和TNT陷阱

This is a very simple trap. Start out by building a simple, one story shelter (but don't put in a door yet). Then, go inside the shelter and replace the floor with a two-block deep hole. Cover the bottom of the hole with TNT, then cover the TNT with flooring material. Place valuables inside as needed. Now, exit the shelter and place a pressure plate one block inside the doorway. This plate should be above a block which is above a block of TNT. Place an iron door in the doorway and one pressure plate outside the door. The would-be griefer will step on the outer pressure plate, causing the door to open. When they enter, they will step on the inner pressure plate, thinking nothing of it because it looks like the pressure plate reopens the iron door when they exit. In reality, it's simultaneously triggering the hidden TNT. They'll be blown up while trying to steal your stuff.

Tutorial on making a TNT door trap;

一个非常简单的陷阱们陷阱

This is one of the quickest traps you can make, and does not require many materials. But be warned that it isn't high quality and more intelligent players will quickly disregard it. First, you have to find a place where this trap can be easily concealed, such as a dark doorway or another clever hiding spot. Next, you simply dig a hole about 7 blocks deep, and 1 block wide. Use a bucket to fill the hole 6 or 7 blocks deep with lava. Then, put a wooden trap door on top of it and a pressure plate in front. Players will walk on top of the plate and through the door and fall into the lava. NOTE: This is not a very good trap, but works if you need simplicity.

This is a fairly easy trap to create, but requires a lot of obsidian. Make a fake entrance to your home out of obsidian. It should be 4 x 4 x 9, with six blocks extending underground (4 x 4 pit), and a 2 x 1 space for a door. Hollow out the obsidian (fill the edges of the 4x4 pit), and make an obsidian floor at the bottom of the pit. Then make the 3x3x4 part on the surface. Now go back down, and three spaces from ground level, make a 2 x 2 "floor" out of any material. Use the walls to place it. Two spaces from ground level, make a 2 x 2 array out of TNT. Then at ground level, make a normal floor. On the floor above the TNT, place a pressure plate on three of the spots except the back corner. On this back corner, place a chest. Put a few iron ingots or something somewhat valuable (but not TOO valuable) in the chest. Then, coat the obsidian on the surface with stone or another material. Place an iron door at the front of this material, with the pressure plate positioned so that you cannot leave by way of the other pressure plates inside. If you want to, you can make a sign announcing this is your house. When people walk in, they will not be able to leave, and they must step on a pressure plate to get to the chest, igniting the TNT. They will either blow up or fall to their deaths. It is constructed out of obsidian so it is reusable, but you can make a one-use trap out of any material. Watch a tutorial here-[1]

水下假矿坑陷阱

This one is fairly simple (but time consuming). Dig a 2 x 2 hole at least 28 blocks deep, or more if the target is wearing armor.(Note:Only dig deeper if the target is wearing boots enchanted with feather falling as fall damage ignores armor) Put signs in the second block after the surface and make a water pool, so there`s nothing but air below. So, put a sign saying something like: "Diamonds here!" or "Mine" or even "Do not enter"(Nobody can resist a sign that says "Do not enter"). The unfortunate player will jump in it and die from fall damage. This trap does have the inherent design flaw in that a player can easily circumvent the fall by placing water below the bottom sign, or using an ender pearl to teleport to the bottom, so it is recommended that you place another method of killing the person at the bottom (i.e. land mine, lava or a crushing piston that is triggered with a pressure plate).

砂砾窒息陷阱

Probably the simplest trap in Minecraft. Make 1x2 holes wait for a player or mob to fall in and then suffocate them with gravel.Get their items out of the hole.

谋杀案

Note: This trap is designed for player sized mobs like zombies. It also does not work well on other players. Nevertheless, when done en mass in a ring around the structure being protected, it works relatively well. Dig many 1x1 holes four blocks into the ground.. Then, make a two block high tunnel along one of the edges of the holes that runs ONE BLOCK DEEPER than the bottom of the holes. Then, put signs on the top of the holes to fool mobs into falling in. Go into your tunnel and kill the mobs by yourself while they stand in the hole helplessly.

窒息塔

(Note: Only suitable for 1 block wide mob. However, a two block variant can also be created)


Requirements: Cobblestone (as much as possible),Sand or Gravel (2),Pressure Plate (2),Iron Door (2) ,Trapdoor (1),Dirt (3)

Make a 3 by 3 by 5 tower out of cobblestone. It should have a 1 block space inside, with walls that are 5 blocks high. Make a trapdoor floor for getting out of the tower later. You need to place an iron door in a doorway. Then place a pressure plate in front of the iron door. The mob will step on the pressure plate and will open the door for a time, long enough to let them in, but not long enough to let them out. Get to the top of the tower and suffocate the mob inside with your gravity-affected blocks. Make a tunnel outside with a staircase. Remember to close the trapdoor floor! You should be able to get up to the top of the tower, and drop sand or gravel on the mobs. Then dig the sand or gravel out, and go through your tunnel to the outside.

门的陷阱

你需要四个铁门,一个压力板,和一个(或更多)TNT

在铁门的前面放一个压力板, and surround the adjacent block with the other doors. Place one TNT with a block on top of it. The player walks, steps on the pressure plate, and traps them-self in the door, with the TNT blowing up before they can escape. 更多的TNT有更强的威力。但是如果玩家带着一把钻石镐的话,没错,那是唯一逃脱这个陷阱的方法。

比较高级的陷阱

Many traps require some redstone wiring, but these take a significant amount and require a basic understanding of redstone circuitry. Explosive traps, those that use TNT, may destroy sections of redstone wire if the explosion occurs too close.

Tripwire Jump Trap

This trap relies on the fact that like end portal, trip wire is invisible from the bottom. Make a room or hallway at least 3 blocks high, and put trip wire in a layer on the third layer up. If the victim jumps, they will trigger the trap. How they are captured or killed is up to the player (since 1.3.1, trip wires are visible from below and are deleted when a block touches it while in the air, making it impossible to place it airborne, unless you place the wires on top of signs).

Mob Proof Dispenser Trap (SMP)

This is a fake entrance, and Place an iron door with a stone pressure plate on one side, and a button on the inside. Then place dispensers (1-4, make sure unfatal) in a very obvious location aiming at the door. Then dig a fatal hole on the other side. When the player walks onto the pressure plate, the dispensers should fire. This will push mobs back. In addition, any mobs walking on the pressure plate will (as of 1.2) now attempt to go around as their AI prevents them from falling into the hole. Upon the door closing, they will try to go through the door again, resulting in death. This trap is excellent for SMP servers. Upon seeing the obvious dispensers people will attempt to charge through and end up falling through the hole, where they die. Tested on mc.Slap-gaming.com, a very popular server, 9 out of 10 people were killed by this trap. The seventh person /spawned, which resulted in a near fatal fall leaving her with 1 and 1/2 heart.

Arrow Dispenser

File:Advance arrow.PNG

An example of a simple setup.

This trap is created by attaching a dispenser filled with arrows to a clock generator. When the clock triggers the dispenser, an arrow will fire. The rate of fire is limited by the clock; slower clocks means fewer arrows shot over a given time period. With a rapid pulser, the dispenser will fire roughly 5 APS (arrows per second).

File:Dispenser machinegun.png

A pulsar (blue) and lever (red) attached to a dispenser.

Since dispensers don't 'burn out' like torches, it is possible to greatly increase the rate of fire of the dispenser by attaching it to a rapid pulsar. To wire this, connect the rapid pulsar to the dispenser, give the dispenser another power source (such as an adjacent redstone torch). By connecting the rapid pulsar to a stable input (such as a torch controlled by a lever seen to the right), the dispenser can be controlled by turning off the torches in the pulser.

The trap can be automated by attaching a pressure plate to the control torch. When the pressure plate is active, the pulsar is allowed.

One way to improve this trap is to place it at the end of a long thin corridor with an iron door entrance. The iron door is opened only from the outside via pressure plate. Have the pressure plate wired to an RS NOR latch so that once activated it will remain active, but can be deactivated by a hidden button.

Sticky Piston and Arrow Trap

This video [2] will show you a way to both capture and kill 2 blocks high monsters. You need 3 pistons (sticky unless block is gravity affected), a block that pistons can move, a dispenser loaded with arrows, 2 repeaters, a redstone torch and some redstone. Any clock will work.

Sticky Piston and Fire Arrow Trap

This trap uses concepts that are described in the "sticky piston and arrow trap," but is only suitable for killing other players, rather than mobs. This trap works by taking advantage of the fact that when a block is mined, and a Redstone torch is attached to the other side, the Redstone torch breaks off. This creates a change in input in order to activate three piston walls, and two rows of dispensers (which are hidden behind two of the walls). The walls that move in this trap serve two functions; two of them reveal rows of dispensers (containing arrows) that may have lava flowing down the front to create fire arrows. The other wall moves in the way that the player came in from to prevent them from running out of the line of fire from the arrows. When the block is mined, the Redstone torch releases a signal that activates these doors. Then, using a logic gate* that is attached to some pulsars (or any other form of clock), the dispensers are activated, firing arrows at the player that activated the trap until dispensers run out of arrows. If the player that activated the trap is wearing projectile protected armor, they will most likely be able to escape the trap. This is why the fire is important for making it more likely they will sustain fatal damage. They may be able to down a fire resistance potion in time, but this is unlikely.

There is a variation of this trap; instead of having three piston walls moving to reveal dispensers and trap the player, you could have the floor open up to a room with dispensers on all four walls, making a much more efficient trap to kill the player. This version of the trap is much simpler to build; however, the former trap is much cooler to see, and may disorient the player more, so that they can't decide what to do to get out.**

  • It doesn't seem that there exists a name for the logic gate that I used, as I couldn't find it anywhere on the basic Redstone help page.
    • Standardized diagrams dictating how this works will be available soon!

Piston Suffocation Trap

Tutorial for making a piston suffocation trap:

Requirements: 2x Sticky Piston 2x Piston At least 11 Stone Full stack of stone (for hidden version) 2x Painting (for hidden version) Stone Pressure Plate 4x Redstone Torch 2x Redstone Dust Chest or Ender Chest (for greed version) 3 full stacks of stone (for greed version) Torches (for greed version) 1x TNT (for Double Whammy version) Iron Door and another pressure plate (for Double Whammy version)

Standard Version: Create 2 stone pillars (3x1x1) 2 blocks away from each other. Then connect the pillars with another stone block so the player can just barely walk through. Dig down 2 blocks while inside the gate, and then complete a 5x2x1 hole perpendicular to the walk-in direction. Place stone 3 blocks under the block at the top of the gate and place redstone torches on both sides of it. Place redstone dust so the torches power them (on both sides of the stone block with the redstone torches) and then place 2 more stone blocks next to each redstone dust. Next, place redstone torches on these stone blocks and cover them up with 1 stone block each. You can now place a sticky piston on each of these stone blocks so they face the gate. Now, place a pressure plate right in the gate. Dig 1 block down on each side of the pressure plate not occupied by stone and place an upward-facing piston in the open slots. If this is too complex, my video explains this version, but none of the others!

Hidden Version: Start with the Standard Version trap. Duplicate the stone gate (twice) so that there are gates covering both of the pistons, not just the pressure plate. You can now place paintings over the pistons to disguise them (and the trap!)

Greed version: Start with the Hidden Version trap. Duplicate the gates even more to form a long hallway and place your Chest or Ender Chest at the end (contains no loot). Place torches along the sides of the hallway to finish the trap. This can be useful in Multiplayer to trap players.

Double Whammy version: Start with the Hidden Version trap. Duplicate the gates like in the Greed version and light it up with torches. Place an Iron Door and hook up a pressure plate. Place TNT under the pressure plate (people can't see it, trust me!) Place a Chest or Ender Chest (also contains no loot) at the end, so if players manage to escape the TNT, they may be drawn to the Chest/Ender Chest and get suffocated by the pistons!

Rapid Pulsar Arrow Dispenser

File:Rapid Pulsar Arrow Trap.JPG

Arrow Dispenser Trap utilizing a stabilized Rapid Pulsar

While a standard pulsar will flicker on and off quickly allowing the dispenser to fire rapidly without the manual addition and removal of power, it is often too fast and will cause delays in firing due to the dispenser not being able to keep up. The design on the above diagram compensates for this by slightly slowing the interval between pulses.

It is important to note that in order for the trap to work, the input (I) to the rapid pulsar must be turned ON when the operator does not want the dispenser to be firing. When the power is turned off the circuit will begin pulsing at a steady rapid rate. This allows the arrows to be fired at the quickest rate without delays between shots. A constant power source must also be applied to the dispenser in such a way that it will not conflict with the input of the pulsar to the dispenser. A single redstone torch one block above the dispenser will accomplish this.

This trap works best as a player controlled mob-counter-measure through the use of a switch, as a pressure plate would only send power through the pulsar when a mob is standing on the plate (although a NOT Gate wired to the input before the pulsar could be used to compensate for this).

Arrow Machine Gun

A trap that can be used for many things. First, on a flat surface, mine 1 block down and place a redstone torch. Above it put 2 dispensers. to the left and right of the 1st dispenser, put stone. Then put redstone torches behind (away from the front of the dispensers) the two stone blocks. They must be ON the blocks, not next to them. Put two more stone blocks on the redstone torches, and put redstone torches behind those. After that put two more stone blocks on those redstone torches. Put 2 redstone torches on top of those, and a stone block behind the top dispenser. Finally, put redstone on top of all the uncovered stone blocks. The thing should start to flash. Put arrows in the dispenser, and to turn it off hook up a lever and turn it on.

Undetectable Trap

A trap that is based on the fact that you can pick up dropped items through the corner of 2 blocks, which makes the trap undetectable without xray. The dropped item sits on a wooden pressure plate, which is connected to an inverter that holds open a line of sticky pistons that hold the floor. A simple tutorial for this kind of trap can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y96hqyYD83k or here:

Lava And Collection Trap

You need one sign, one bucket of lava and two buckets of water.

Make a trench two blocks wide and put the water flowing down it. Then put the sign at the end on a wall. Put the lava over the sign. Make a glass hut at the end of the trench an wait for the monsters to start rolling in.

Crushing Trap

This trap uses pistons to crush skeletons, zombies or players to death. For every square meter you'll need a sticky piston, two cobblestone, and one piece of redstone dust. A lever is also needed to trigger the trap, plus some extra redstone dust.

Dig the room so the ceiling is 6 blocks high. Place sticky pistons all around so they are facing down at you on the 4th block up. There should be enough space above the piston to walk on it, and enough room on the floor to jump. Replace the ceiling using cobble just beneath all of the sticky pistons. The room should now appear to be 2 blocks high, with 2 empty blocks above the pistons (unseen). Using a maintenance shaft, get in the area just above the pistons. Place cobble to cover all the pistons. Cover the top cobble layer with redstone dust. Then, make a trail with redstone dust to a lever. From here you can trigger the ceiling.

Upon activating the lever, the pistons will push the blocks down and start damaging tall mobs and players. This design can be converted to use pressure plates on the ground to activate the trap rather than a lever. To be effective against spiders and short mobs, lower the entire trap by 1 block, or cover the floor with sticky pistons facing upwards and wire them as well.

Small Crushing Trap

Dig a 3x1 pit 2 blocks deep. Put a pressure plate in one end, redstone in the middle, and any block in the end.
On top of the block opposite to the pressure plate, put a sticky piston facing the plate, and then put some dirt on the piston to hide it.


Mobs will fall in the hole. If they're 2 blocks tall they'll get crushed, and if they're 1 block tall they'll get trapped!


Side view

Corridor trap

The following Trap uses pistons to suffocate and trap the player. once the player dies, they cannot get their items back, and if the player does set the trap off, but doesn't get killed by it, they still can't make it past.

An advantage of this trap is that it can be reset with the press of a button, or completely disabled, if needs be. It is not very obvious - and can simply be disguised as an iron door.

Cave Spider Trap

Actually fairly simple and requires no redstone, but requires a cave spider spawner and iron, coal, or gold.(Diamond could work, but there's no assuring they'll have an iron pickaxe.) Find a cave spider spawner, or hack one in. Surround it in valuables such as coal. Tell others you've found a mine shaft, then "accidentally" give away directions to it. Pretend to feel stupid for giving away directions. Another player will come, then dig the blocks. By then make sure you're not there. The enemy will then get poisoned and bitten until they're dead. An alternate version of this trap would be to either hack in a cave spider spawner or build your house around one, and then to make a dark are where they can spawn but cannont get out. You could then have a piston move a block below the area for them to spawn, and have a pressure plate or button connected that seemingly opens the door to your house. Upon pressing the button/pressure plate, the pistion will retract and a cave spider will drop on the player. For added efficiency, it could be placed behind the door in a corridor, making it harder for the player to escape the venomous bite of your arachnid friends.

Suffocating Piston Trap

The following piston trap suffocates the player slowly by filling the room with sand and continuing to fill it until they die or there is no sand left. The player trapped could mine out, or maybe replace the redstone torch(?) Lastly, they could mine enough of the fallen sand that they do not suffocate. Just things a creative player who doesn't panic might try. The following video shows the trap "in motion" and how it's made:

Pitfall

Beware: the following pitfall traps don't necessarily kill the target by falling damage. Some players prefer to use fire, lava, or cactus to deal damage and use the pit as an area the target can't escape before fatal damage has been dealt.

TNT-based pitfall trap

Create a deep 3x3 pit (deep enough so mobs will die upon hitting the bottom). Two blocks down from the surface, place a layer of stone or cobblestone. On top of that, do the same, but make sure the center block is TNT. Finally, place a layer of any block type on top (except TNT, of course). An advantage to stone/cobblestone is that it takes less blocks, while an advantage to dirt is that upon the TNT's explosion, it creates a small ledge around the pit you can stand on to help rebuilding. After your top layer is done, put a pressure plate on the block above the TNT. When a mob - or player - walks on the plate, the TNT will trigger, damaging them and making them fall to their death in the pit below. To collect the items, create a maintenance hallway to the bottom of the pit.

TNT-based pitfall trap (Easy)

Dig 3 blocks down but stay on the surface. Put a block of sand on the bottom of the hole, and a block of TNT on top of the sand. Place a pressure plate on top of the sand and when a mob steps on it, it will trigger the TNT and the mob will take damage and fall into the pit created by the explosion.

WARNING! Mobs will NOT BE DEAD upon finding (unless they burn in sunlight). Shoot them with arrow(s) until they die. Happy hunting!

Cactus-based pitfall trap

One way to dispatch a target is by filling the bottom of the shaft with cacti. Since a cactus can't be placed adjacent to any other blocks, a checkerboard pattern must be used. Players and most mobs will fall between the cactus and be unable to escape. Spiders, however, won't be able to fall between the cactus and, depending on the design of the shaft, may be able to escape before taking fatal damage.

Another thing you should consider is that cacti destroy items.

Shallow pitfall

Dig a pit 1-block deep hole at least 5x5 blocks. Place fences on the inside edge. Since fences count as one and one half blocks in height, mobs can walk in but can not jump out. Alternatively, line the outside with half-slabs.This can also be combined with a mob grinder, via water currents leading to it. Zombies and Skeletons will take damage from sunlight during the day if the pit is uncovered, making this an effective way to sort out creepers. This design does not capture spiders.

Water-current based pitfall trap

To effectively improve the size of your pit without digging a larger area, dig a shallow ring around the top layer of your pit. Fill this area with water so that mobs will be dragged to the center. If necessary, water can be stopped by placing signs or Stone Pressure Plate.

Wired pitfalls

Pistons and other redstone blocks are sometimes used to push the target into a nearby pit, or you can place a lever beside a door and deceivingly wire it to a mechanism that uncovers a hole in the floor so that the target falls into a pit of lava.

Snowball-based pitfall trap

Load the dispenser with snowballs (or eggs if you find them easier to get and arrows if you wish), and aim the dispenser at a connected pressure plate next to the pit. When the target walks across the plate, the dispenser shoots a snowball to knock the target into the pit, where they can be dealt with however you like.

The Obscured Pit

The mechanism is a pressure plate attached to 5 pistons: 4 pistons that retract, and one that extends. Build this in a flat sandy area. Wire the pressure plate to an inverter then to 4 sticky pistons 1 layer underground. When the plate activates, the pistons should open a 2x2 hole. Replace the sand on top of the extended pistons on the ground. Then, under the sand manipulated by the pistons, make a hole as deep as you want. It can have water supported by signs, so as not to kill your victim, or they can plummet to certain doom. Then, add a normal piston wired into the plate so as to push the victim into the opened shaft. Then, you can replace the top layer of sand.

Pitfalls using pistons

Another kind of pit is the piston pit. In this pit trap a sand structure is build on an activated piston. The structure itself uses torches to keep the sand at the top. The structure is build like an upside down pyramid so that one sand block is holding the others. When the piston is toggled, the main sand block above the piston will fall triggering a cascade in the rest.

This trap is easy to reset if enough sand is available, you just have to put new sand on top of the piston and build a new sandfloor. If sand is scarce, you may want to build a maintenance shaft to the bottom of the pit to retrieve the sand.

Repeatedly triggering a trap of this type without collecting the sand from the pit will eventually fill the entire pit with sand. To counter this, you can set up a floor of torches, redstone torches, redstone repeaters and/or tall grass. As the sand blocks fall on these objects, they will break and produce lootable sand blocks. These could possibly be collected (along with the victim's items) by the owner of the trap for future use, although they have to be picked up very soon after the trap has been triggered, as they will despawn in a couple of minutes like any other lootable items. A more elaborate system could even have the sand and items redirected to a water stream which leads them to a collection point.


  • Piston Pitfall auto reset

A variation to this is to make it so that the sand crushes the victim when activated. However, this poses two major disadvantages. First of all, with updated minecraft the player will be pushed out from the sand. This can be countered by filling in the hanging 'pit' of sand in, making it so that there is no room to be pushed out into. The second problem is that no idiot wouldn't notice a giant structure of hanging sand above them.

Tripwire Piston Pitfall trap

A compact & fast design, can kill the target by any type of damage. Cheap & fast to build, yet does the job right and is almost undetectable. The victim is walking in a tunnel, there are no pressure plates, just a tripwire hanging at the target's head level. Once the victim touches the tripwire, a block is pushed up preventing the target from escaping and the pistons below quickly open up a hole and the target falls down in a pitfall. From there, you can do anything with the target.


Non-Destructive TNT Death Hole

This trap uses TNT, but does not destroy the pit or any blocks other than the sand/gravel disguising the pit. Dig a deep 6x6 hole. put obsidian in the bottom and sides of the hole,turning your 6x6 shaft into an obsidian tube with a 2x2 hole. Put a redstone wire on one of the obsidian blocks at the top layer of the pipe. Put TNT next to the wire, above the hole at the top of the pipe, and disguise the pit with dirt etc., but put sand/gravel above the tnt. It should look something like this:


 R    R
 O T TO
 O    O
 O    O
 O    O
 O    O
 O    O
 O    O
 O0O0OO

P= Pressure Plate R= redstone wire T= TNT O= obsidian


Wire the TNT to a trigger, ensuring that players will walk onto/near the sand/gravel and activate the TNT. The TNT drops them into the hole, and blows up without destroying any blocks other than the sand that the player stood on. All you need to do is replace the TNT, sand and the trigger for another use. This could perhaps be wired to some pistons that automatically reload the TNT and sand.

Water and lava-based traps

Fluids are often used in traps. Water is generally used to slow players and to drag mobs, but can also be used to drown them. It also can be used to create an explosion that will not damage the environment. Lava works entirely different by igniting the target. It is a very effective way of killing the target, but also destroys drops if they come in contact.

Water

Traps using water.

Slime Trap

This simple trap targets slimes. All you need is some water buckets. Dig a 4x4 hole three blocks deep. Fill the bottom layer with water, so that it is all still water on the bottom. When any sized slime wanders around, it may fall into the hole. Since slimes cannot jump in water, it will not be able to escape. You can come by later and kill all the slimes, however, you must jump in the get the drops. If you are not interested in the drops, just leave them in to lower slime population. This trap is recommended on Superflat survival worlds where you can get water from village farms and easily make the hole and slimes spawn a lot.

Mobavators - Move Mobs To Other Traps

Mobavators can be used to move mobs from spawners to wherever you want, and they can haul a lot of mobs up.
Usually mobavators are expensive when moving mobs from deep underground, but for players with a lot of resources they can be very useful. The usually work like this:

X = Sign

Y = Glass/Any other solid block
O = Water

YXXY
YOOY
YXXY
YOOY
YXXY

An alternate design:

YXOY
YOXY

YOXY
YXOY

Drowning Room

Make a small room, preferably 5x5x2. Place a chest in the center of the back wall. Then put 2 blocks of sand above the chest with water behind it. As soon as they break the sand to enter the chest, the water will pour out. If you want, you could have an airlock instead of the one-way door. Have torches supporting sand in the hallway to the trap. As soon as the water comes out it will flood the hallway and burn out the torches, causing the sand to fall and trap the player even more.

Automatic Drowning Trap w/ Trapdoors

This trap is made by digging a 2x2x3 hole in the ground, filling the middle of the hole in with water, and putting trapdoors at the top. Place pressure plates a block away from the trap in a square pattern so that, at the moment, they can't open the trap doors. Between the pressure plates and the trap, place redstone wire to open all the doors at once. When a mob walks over the pressure plates he can fall down the water, and the trapdoors will shut, forcing him to drown. At the lowest level of the trap you can make a 1x1 tunnel of water to retrieve the loot. Generally these are the most efficient types of traps because there is no lava involved to burn any loot.

Retrieval Traps

Trap

A trap made with water and dirt which can kill any mob.

Create a water current that drags the mobs down under a solid block. The current will hold the mobs under until they drown. The loot from the mobs will sink, which can be collected below.

Water Whirlpool Trap (Water Tower)(Atlantis Trap)

File:WaterTower2.png

View of several water towers from underwater

This trap is used as a water barrier to keep the mobs from swimming into another area. This requires that the floor of the body of water be easily accessible. The trap is extremely effective, but it's rather large, sucking in a 6x6 area of water.

Dive down to the bottom of the pool of water. Build up a hollow tower out of a weak material, ideally sand. The basic template is a square hole, at least 2x2. The air gap will be this size.

x = sand O = empty
O X X O
X O O X
X O O X
O X X O
Make the top flush with the surface, then empty the tower of water using a bucket. Set four TNT blocks as low as possible, then light the TNT and run.
T = TNT X = sand O = empty

The TNT does not have to be on the bottom. The result will be a 2x2 tower of air going from the surface to the bottom with waterfalls on all sides.

Dark Room and Drowning Room Trap

This trap consists of : large dark room (any size from 8x8x8 upwards/outwards)

drowning room consisting of many signs, water, a block (solid and non transparent) and trapdoors

collection room (optional) under drowning room
(image will represent how drops get carried there)
To create drowning room :

B F F F F F W <-- only 1 'W' on 1 side

'B' any solid and non transparent block 'W' water source 't' trapdoor 's' sign 'f' flowing water

Trapping pool

This trap is designed to trap skeletons and zombies, not to kill them! Start on the surface by digging out a 5x5 square.Then dig a 3x3 square in the center. Dig the 3x3 one more layer deep and climb out. Place water in each of the corners and in the middle of each side on the top (where the water isn't flowing along the top. Done.

When morning arrives you may find a live zombie to kill or unleash upon unsuspecting village, or a skeleton to use to get a music disk or to snipe. This system can also be hooked up to a mob grinder, or if you dig the middle square down you can place some lava/cactus/iron golem/snow golem (just for the laughs)/TNT/dispenser/place to spatter from fall damage/mob arena (figure this out yourself!)/Void hole(sadly unsatisfactory)/ mine cart transport for later torment/etc,etc. Just make sure you use a sign to cut off the flow.

Lava

Traps that require lava.

Lava elevator trap

This trap is an elevator [3] This trap has lava hidden in it so that when a player/mob swims upward it burns and dies in the lava.

Lava ladder trap

This is designed for use on a SMP server. Make a 'dummy house' (A house that is not really a house, it is only to lure people). Put ladders up to the second floor of this house and place lava at the top of the ladder. The lava will not flow down and hurt you because of the ladders. When someone goes up the ladder they may climb into the lava, because some players often don't look up when climbing. The player usually falls off the ladder, so their items won't burn. This trap will also work downwards but it is not very effective.

Emergency Lock Down Trap

An emergency lock down trap ensures players can't bypass the trap redstone lock system by breaking the door. It uses an iron door as support for the initial sand block. A diagram for the completed section of the corridor can be found to the right.

Side view

Place the iron door in the middle of a tunnel with adequate space. Connect the iron door to a redstone lock system. Dig above the door until the area above the hall is a hollow 5x3 area. Place sand on top of the door, then place torches on the side of the sand. Repeat until the sand touches the wall. Place lava in the empty space above the sand. The only way to get through would be to unlock the redstone lock system. If someone destroyed the door, the sand would be unsupported allowing the lava to fall on them. To stop players from simply mining around the device, place lava behind the walls.

Since lava spreads slowly, it may be possible for the thief to destroy the door then quickly run to safety on the far side. To counteract this, include an airlock style sand pillar to block the path. If the thief tries to break it down, the lava will have enough time to spread and ignite him.

Griefer Lava Pit Trap

It's nearly impossible to find a SMP server without griefers who try to steal your valuable collectables. A very simple trap using paintings can be made. As most players know, hanging a painting in front of a wall can cover up corridors, but the painting can still be walked through. Most griefers know this too and if they spot a large painting, they usually try to walk through it to see if they can find a secret room. Knowing this, you can build a wall of any size, implement the standard painting-coverup, but instead of making a secret room, make a pit about 3-4 blocks deep and put some lava on the bottom. It's nearly impossible to do this without killing yourself, so don't take anything except a lava bucket. When griefers try to enter your 'secret room', they'll fall into a lava pit instead! However, some griefers will remove the painting before entering the trap, and be alerted to the ruse.

Glass Pane Trap

With the glass panes added in Beta 1.8 and the ability to fall through them when joined in a 2x2 fashion, this can be made into a good trap. Lava can work in this fashion to have drops fall into the chamber below the lava.

Pitfall Lava Trap

This trap is based on the fact that, when unsupported, sand and gravel fall.

First, dig a hole that is at least 6 blocks deep. Next, at the bottom of the hole, dig out a pit that is about 3x3 and 2 blocks high. Fill the pit with lava and get back to the surface. 3 blocks down into the hole, place TNT. On top of the TNT, place either sand or gravel, and put a pressure plate on top of that.

When a player steps on this trap, the TNT will activate and the player will fall into a pit of lava, taking some lit TNT with them. To reset this trap you simply need to place the TNT, the sand, and the pressure plate back to where they started.

Lava Pit Door

Very simple, put a door on your home and right inside the door dig a 1x1 pit and fill it with lava. Make a hole in the ceiling and a ladder so that you can safely get in. Players who don't know the ruse will go in through the front/trapped door and die in lava. Remember to always use the side entrance, because falling into your own trap will be humiliating, I assure you.

One False Mine...

What you need: TNT, Redstone, Pressure plate, Iron door, Lava, and any kind of Ores.

Make a mine that leads to a dungeon. Place a trapdoor hiding sand and/or gravel connected to a stone pressure plate above and under you you every step. When you get to the dungeon, place a stone pressure plate connected to a TNT block nearby. Underneath the TNT place lava. Above all the TNT place any ore and when the victim goes toward the lava to get more ore they die. Use doors in the cavern because the victim—if they survive—may want to explore the cavern and place doors that he/she may want to enter and make a 1 block wide hole going really deep down and place lava at least 3 blocks tall behind each door. Above the hole make lava fall onto the victim.

Add more TNT connected to pressure plates and do the lava/ore press wire.

Lava Sticky Piston Trap

What you need: Redstone, Pressure plate, Lava, and a Sticky piston

Make a lava pit. It is recommended you do this trap in a mine with a lava pit; it will blend in better. Place a stone pressure plate down and connect it to redstone wire behind a wall so it cannot be seen. Make the redstone wire connect to a sticky piston with a stone block on the plunger so the stone block is pushed when the pressure plate is activated. Put the piston two blocks above ground level, where the pressure plate is, so that when the pressure plate is activated, it activates the sticky piston, pushing the player. Make a lava pit next to the pressure plate so the player is pushed into lava.

Other traps and parts

Proximity Detector

There is a way to detect if someone is within a certain proximity (17-20 blocks) in minecraft. This is extremely useful for traps. Here is a video tutorial on how to do that:

Mob-spawning-based: This player sensor is the smallest stable silent player detector that isn't glitch based.

This video shows another way to create a stable player detector, this time based on redstone.


Particle-based:

Netherrack and cacti wall

Hellstone catai trap

A trap made with Netherrack and Cacti.

In the ground, alternate netherrack and sand. Ignite the netherrack and plant cactus on the sand. This very simple trap acts as a wall against hostile mobs. Passive mobs only spawn in light (They are NOT attracted to light in any way and will often despawn in the dark) and will sometimes wander into the fire. Generally the mob will then ricochet off the cactus preventing any drops from being destroyed by the fire.

Soul Sand Death Trap

This trap is based on the fact that if you stand on soul sand directly over lava, you take damage. First make a two block high tunnel. Dig a 2 block deep hole in the tunnel and fill the bottom with lava. Place soul sand over the lava. This works with mobs (with the exception of skeletons) as well as players and is very effective for safely collecting items. - no longer works as of Minecraft 1.3.1

Soul Sand Live Capture

File:Soul sand trap.jpg

Players enter from red, the turn helps hide the soul sand.

Soul sand slightly sinks the player or mob "endermen". Using this unique properly, it is possible to capture a tall mob or player. The corridor to the right will trap a player that moves onto the soul sand. The top half shows the floor setup and the bottom half shows the ceiling. Note the open block above the soul sand. Players are caught until they place a block above them or destroy a block around them. Generally the rest of the trap will have triggered by the time they react. Pressure plates can be placed on soul sand to help hide them and to provide a redstone signal. NOTE:For a kill during this process, place lava by the soul sand. May not always work if placed wrong.

FOR EXTRA KILLS try this on the side of a mountain and they will think its a mine then wait on the other side and kill them for there stuff

Repeater-based One Way Hallway

If a repeater is in a 2 block high space, like a tunnel, you will crouch automatically as you walk over it. However, you will not crouch if the repeater is blocking the entrance of a tunnel.

Side view of tunnel entrance.

Make a 1x2 tunnel. On the floor of the entrance place a repeater. To punish players for destroying the repeater, have it as part of an inverter connected to TNT, such that when the repeater is destroyed, it activates nearby TNT.

Minecart Fall Damage Trap

There is a way to 'store' fall damage in a minecart and later have someone take that damage even though they don't actually fall a distance that would make them take damage. Here is a video explaining how to set the trap up and showing it in use:

Noise machine

In certain cases it may be helpful to mask the sound of TNT* or hostile mobs by creating a noisy machine. The function of the machine itself isn't important. Pistons create a fair amount of noise that doesn't travel far. Doors can be quickly toggled making a lot of noise. You can also group many animals together to make noise.

  • Note: TNT, pressure plates and levers make no sound.

One Way Door and Soulsand Room Trap

A one way door is made by placing a pressure plate in front of an iron door to a closed room with no way to open the door from the inside. The pressure plate briefly activates the door, but will close it immediately after. This technique is useful for capturing mobs for resource harvesting. This can be expanded to create rooms or large pens for trapping monsters.

Another way to use one way doors is the soulsand room trap. This is a combo trap made by making a room about 5x6. Dig two blocks deep and fill the pit with one block of lava and cover it with soulsand. Now put an iron door on both sides of the room with pressure plates on the outer side. This makes it impossible to escape with even a wood door, which is slightly less conspicuous. This is a way to collect the items and all you need to escape and not get stuck is a block of dirt. Place it then brake it when your out.

Forcefield Trap

This trap is based on the forcefield, that the mine carts create when stacked together in a small amount of space. It is possible to hide this design behind walls to push players off and kill them from fall damage / lava damage. However, this trap is very iron-costly, for it to be efficient you will need around 250 iron, and the number increases, depending on how powerful you want the forcefield to be. This does NOT work with Modloader in Minecraft or Bukkit MP servers.

Arrow Traps

Arrow fall trap

Have an underground tunnel built with another tunnel coming straight down midway to intersect it

Key: t=tunnel, d=dirt, r=room, x=TNT

隧道


At the top of the intersecting tunnel build a room like so:

顶端隧道和房间


At the top of this, just in-between the tunnel and room, build a dirt patch to block it up and then place one tnt block over the center piece of dirt.


  rrrrrrrrrr
  r        r
  r   x    r
  rrdddddrrr
   ttttttt
   ttttttt
   ttttttt
   ttttttt
   ttttttt
  tttttttttttt
  tttttttttttt
  tttttttttttt

Next fire a ton of arrows at the dirt and tnt and build a staircase from the room to the tunnel hide the stairwell with plain stone but dig one space below the hidden doorwayand one behind that into the starwell. place a pressure plate next to the hidden door and run redstone from it to the tnt in the top room. Now, when a player sets off this plate it causes the tnt to explode with the dirt, (not blasting the arrows away becauuse of a patch) with the dirt no longer there to hold the arrows they will free-fall down at the intruder at the same power as a fully charged arrow. P.S. It helps to have the intersecting tunnel wider then the hole itself as to reduce chance of arrows sticking into walls.

Tripwire Traps

This video is an example of several traps you could make with tripwires. There are many more ways you could sneak tripwire in to kill your victim, just think of the basic actions you would do in Minecraft, and try to sneak a tripwire somewhere in it.

Disarming Traps

When faced with a trap, the safest course of action is often to disarm the trigger by destroying the trap's components. Note that disarming a trap could be griefing, but if they are trying to kill you, you should defend yourself

  • Destroy pressure plates. Pressure plates send the same message whether they are inactive or destroyed. Destroying a pressure plate will seldom trigger a trap.
  • Be wary of active redstone. Inactive redstone is mostly safe, but destroying active redstone dust can trigger traps, as it is usually connected to an inverter. Remember that redstone can be removed with water.
  • You can dispatch active redstone wires with the use of two redstone torches:
  X = torch Y = redstone wire B= Any block
Front view:
  XYX
  BBB
Top view:
Layer 1:
  B B
  BBB
Layer 2:
  X X
  YYY
And then destroy the center redstone:
  X X
  Y Y
It will keep the positive input for both ends, but cutting the two ends off, keeping the current
on forever.

-- Note: Some traps make use of the 15-block redstone signal limit. Trying to dispatch active redstone wire this way may trigger traps that use this concept.

  • Never alter a clock generator! It may be connected to another one by a logic gate that checks if they tick together. This way the breaking or altering one may trigger a massive TNT charge or other anti-defuse mechanisms.
  • Be careful when breaking blocks near the trap. Some blocks may have a torch mounted to it that prevents premature detonation. Also, if you discover
  • Consider the fact that the creator may be nearby. Oftentimes, the builder of a trap will be near the trap, waiting to collect his victim's possessions. If you encounter a trap, be ready for a fight.
  • Remove the trap's dangerous components. If you can reach the dangerous bits of a trap, destroy them. Take the arrows out of a dispenser, and pocket the dispenser while you're at it. Take any cacti you see as well. TNT should not be a problem, since the 1.7 update TNT blocks can be broken and collected
  • Some texture packs may make traps easier to disarm than others. While you might accidentally walk across a pressure plate and activate a trap while using one texture pack, you may spot it instantly with a different one. It may also help to use an x-ray texture pack to spot parts of the trap that you may not have been able to see before, which should help you better understand how the trap works.
  • If all else fails, try to safely trigger the trap. Either step on the trigger and run, or use redstone to trigger it from a distance. It is best to have a good understanding of the nature of the trap before attempting to trigger it, as one can easily underestimate its size.
  • You can also trigger the trap, log off, and log back on after a moment has passed. However this may be dangerous as nearby TNT could have been detonated (even revealing a pit), so when you log back on, you may take damage from the hole the TNT made, possibly resulting in death.
  • To fool the person who laid the trap in SMP, try burning out the torches, but make sure you know the wiring. Therefore, if you want revenge unto the person who tricked you into the trap, you can leave a trace and then the person will want to fix it. Kill him once that happens. Keep in mind, tinkering with circuits might not only trigger the trap you know; it can catch you in another.
  • If you've seen the kind of trap laid for you before, you can always trick the person who laid it.
  • Don't overestimate yourself! Traps may be more complex then your knowledge of redstone, and some are outright cryptic.
  • Signs, Pressure Plates, Diamond Blocks, and Chests usually mean traps. Avoid these things in the open, in houses(Except your own) and in caves.
  • Most traps' mechanics are hidden by only a single block or two. Try digging in and around traps so you can disarm them.
  • Make sure your out of a trap's "Danger Zone(s)" before attempting to diarm one.

Pocket Edition Traps

Build a hole 3 blocks down of whatever size suits you. Build a glass roof over it 3 blocks up, and make it several blocks wide with glass. Dig out tunnels that connect to the original hole, and be sure that the top of the tunnels are glass. At night, when zombies spawn in the tunnels, walk on the glass paths and the zombies will follow you when you are near them. You do not need to worry about attacks, as they are separated from you by glass. Lead them to your roof. When you reach your roof, lead them to its center, and they'll fall into the hole. At daytime, the zombies will burn and die. If you want, you can replace the glass roof with a brick roof. If you do this, the zombies wont die or escape, so you can walk right up to the edge and see them gathered around in the hole and they can't hurt you.

(This trap is meant for Minecraft Pocket Edition, it may or may not work in the classic version. You will only need glass for this mob trap.)
