Minecraft traps

Materials: 1-2 cobweb,
and water

First, dig a hole 1 by 1. The depth should be three. Fill the bottom with cobweb. Fill the top of the hole with water. A mob will fall in the hole and be stuck on the cobwebs. You can then torture them in the hole.

This is my trap but I removed one of the sides and replaced it with glass so you can see. I also used one cobweb instead of two. Thye mob will more likely drown if you use one cobweb. One cobweb is not recommended because the mob has to go pretty deep in the water to reach it.

Minecraft traps

Materials: blocks,
glass,
and water.

First, make something nine by four. The inside should be two by eight. Leave one end open, on the other end place water. The water shouldn't go over the blocks. Now, dig five blocks and two blocks wide down at the end of the water area. Close off the end with glass but don't put glass in the hole. Now put water in the little hole but it shouldn't hit the glass but be right under it. After that's done, make a hole for the loot to go through. Lastly, close off all ways of escaping except the entrance.

This is a picture of the water.

This is where things are drowned. The water goes under the glass. The water is also one block under the other water.

Half Life 2 livestream

I reschedule to 8:00pm tomorrow. But, I will do a little bit today.

Minecraft traps

Materials: redstone wire,
redstone torch,
pistons,
1 sticky piston,
sand,
and blocks.

First, make a hall way. On the ceiling of the entrance and exit, or the on top of the switch (not recommended) place a piston or two. Now, in the middle put a pressure plate and wire it to a sticky piston. The sticky piston should have a block at the end. After that's over, wire the other pistons to a redstone torch. The wire connecting to the torch should be up a block so, when the sticky piston extends it should cancel out the circuit. The other pistons will then retract. On top of the piston opening part, put sand so when the pistons open, sand will fall on the person, or seal off the entrance or exit.

Bird's eye view of the trap. I did a double piston at the end of my hall. The sand also fell.

Side view of the trap's wiring so you can so the different heights every thing is at.
This is the view of the hallway.

Minecraft traps

Materials: 3 netherrack,
4 cacti,
4 sand,
and a fire source

Dig a trench of seven blocks. The width and depth is one block. In the trench put sand at each end. Then after the sand put netherrack. Then sand and in the very middle put netherrack. Place cacti on the sand blocks and light the netherrack. A mob will jump in the fire and bounce out into the cacti and die but protect the loot.

Minecraft traps

Materials: 1 netherrack,
and a fire source.

This is a simple pitfall trap. Just dig down. The depth is any. Make ladders all the way down if you want. But make a way out of the hole in case you fall in. Now at the bottom, place netherrack at the bottom and light it. An mob will fall in and die from the fire.

Minecraft traps

This is a multiplayer trap. It is best used as a security door to a stronghold or a base.

Materials: obsidian,
2 lever,
redstone wire,
piston,
sand,
2 iron doors,
pressure plate,
1 or more friends,
and glass.

First, make a hallway with only one block in width. Place a pressure plate at some point on the ground. Place one of the iron doors in front of it. So, if someone stepped on the pressure plate, the iron door will open. One block away, place another iron door. Before you do this, have a friend be on the other side. Place a lever beside the door on the side your not on. You should be in a block gap. Both doors should be operable from the other side. Now, remove the roof of the one block section, between the two iron doors. Remove more one block from the hole in the roof. Place a piston in the new gap. Wire it up to a place near the iron door and place a lever at the end. Now, pick a side of the iron door and remove two blocks from it. Now fill it up with glass. You should now be able to see the person in the one block place between two iron doors. Close the piston and fill the space above it with sand. Stand in the other iron door with the two levers. When something comes through you can pull the lever to open the door or drop sand on them. Have someone in the area with two levers at all times to guard your base.

This is the side with two levers/ the safe side.Me looking through the window at the one block space.
Me in the one block space looking up at the piston with sand on top. There at iron doors on both sides of me. I opened one of them.

Half life 2 live stream

Because of some things I can't do the live stream today and will probably did it on this Friday at around 7:00pm. I hope you will be there to watch it at http://www.justin.tv/portalftw416. I will resume where I left off at my last live stream. I will also try to raise the frame rate and add sound.

Minecraft Traps

Materials: 1 sand,
1 cactus,
grassy biome,
24 fences,
and 4 torches.

First, find some flat grassy area. If you can't, make the land flat. Fence an area of 25 blocks or just make a square of fence 7 by 7. When you have that, dig a hole in the center of the fenced area. Put sand there and put cactus on top. In each corner of the fenced area place a torch. Since you have light on a grassy area. The animals will spawn in the fenced area and walk towards the cactus and die. They can't escape because of the fence.

I didn't have enough time so I just did that. I has two blocks in one corner because I need a way to exit the fence area. It can also be used to enter and collect the loot.

Minecraft Traps

I don't have access to Minecraft at the moment but the show must go on.

Materials: steel and flint,
netherrack.

First, dig a 1 block hole in a grassy area. Put the netherrack in the hole. Light the netherrack. Now, since animals mobs spawn in light near grass. They will walk into the fire and die. This also works with the other kinds of mobs except for squids because they live in water.

Livestreams

I will be live streaming on Tuesday. It will be Half-life 2. I'll pick up where I left off last time I live streamed.

Minecraft Traps

Materials: sand,
chest,
torches,
and water

First, find a room to be the trap room. Place a chest near or at the center. Place sand on top of it so it's impossible to open. Climb onto the roof of the room and find where the chest is. Place water on top of the sand on top of the chest. Now, surround the room with torches. On top of the torches, put sand on top. The sand shouldn't fall because of the torch. Once again climb onto the roof and put water on top of the sand blocks. The player will break the sand to get to the chest. The sand will release the water and knock out the torches. The sand on top of the torches will fall and release more water and drown the player.

The sand doesn't fall.

I didn't spend too much time on the torches.

Minecraft Traps

Materials: 3 cactus
and 3 sand

First dig a hole five by two by any depth. Now, crave out the sides so that there's room at the sides but not higher than two blocks. At the bottom of the hole, dig holes in a zigzag pattern and put sand in it. On top of the sand, plant cacti. Because of the carved out sides, the cacti should be plant able. A mob should fall in and die from the cactus.


This is a cactus and the carve so it should stay put.

This is dark but you should be able to see the pattern of the cactus.

Minecraft Traps

This trap is a lava trap.

Materials: lava,
water,
2 ladder,
and dirt.

The first thing is to make a platform that is five by four, the height is two. On one side make an opening that is two blocks wide. Don't fill the platform with blocks keep it open. On the bottom of the platform, place blocks to fill up the bottom layer of the platform. The first block nearest to the opening you should keep empty. Place ladders there. In front of the opening, build something eight by four by two. Once again keep it empty. Now, on the side farthest from the ladders, put water on the first block. At the side with water, destroy the two blocks so mobs can jump into the water. Now, on the side of the other platform farthest from the water, place the lava. The water should reach the ladders and not touch the lava. The mobs will walk into the water and flow into the lava because they float.

This is where you put the ladders. I used some other blocks because I ran out of dirt. I used soul sand because spiders can't climb this.
The correct placement of the fluids. The depths are different.

Minecraft Traps

This is a cactus trap. Target is mostly mobs.

Materials: any kind of blocks,
4 sand,
4 cacti,
water,
and ladders.

First, build a frame about 7 blocks long, 3 blocks wide and 3 blocks tall. Keep both ends open. One end is where the mobs go in so build that side one block up so water doesn't spill out. Now at the other end place sand blocks and cactus on top. 3 pieces in a triangle like pattern. The other piece in front of the middle piece of sand but 2 blocks away. Now, in front of middle piece that I referred to before, dig down how much you want. But keep in mind you will need ladders to get out. Now, a block away from the middle piece of sand, outside of the trap, dig down the same amount of blocks as you did before and dig two blocks forwards. You should hit the other hole. Add the ladders so you can go back up, add a torch in the hole if you want so creepers don't surprise you when you go down there. Once up, add the water at the starting end. Any mob inside will be dragged by the water and hit the cacti and the water will bring the loot to the tunnel.

This is my tunnel to where I collect my loot.
This is a birds eye view of the trap. Left is my floating castle's garden. Right is my kennel. Top is another trap.
