Minecraft Traps

Materials: redstone wire,
blocks,
8 dispensers,
1 pressure plate
and lot of arrows

First, place a pressure plate somewhere. Place dispensers, 2 blocks away from the pressure plate surrounding the pressure plate. Put a block one block up and one block left or right of all the dispensers. Now, put a dispenser on top of the other dispenser. Do this for all of the dispensers. You should have 8 dispensers facing the pressure plate. Wire all of the dispensers to the pressure plate. There are many ways to do this so I'll leave this to you. Load all of the dispensers with arrows. Whenever someone or something 2 block high steps on the pressure plate, BOOM. Face full of arrows. This works best on a hole; 1, the people can't escape the pressure plate. 2 it's not obvious.

I didn't put it in a hole because I didn't have enough time.

Minecraft Traps

Materials: 1 diamond block,
2 sand,
and a secure room.

First, make the room or find a room for the trap. It should be small to avoid people from escaping. In the ceiling, place a block of diamond. Go outside onto the roof and place sand on top of the block of diamond. Make sure the room is well lit and people can clearly see the diamond block. The trap is when someone goes in to get the diamond block, sand will fall on the player and kill them.

Minecraft Traps

Materials: blocks,
and water

First build a tower 5 by 5. The inside should hold 3 by 3 blocks. Now raise the tower to whatever height and make something stick out by one block. In the little outcrop place water inside. Now, in front of the entrance, inside the tower, dig a hole. This stops water from flowing out. Now, make a door. Any foolish player or mob will swim up the tower and drown.

Minecraft Traps

Materials: lava,
ladder,
redstone wire,
switch,
and a piston.

First, dig a hole, one block by one block. Dig as deep as you want. Dig into the side near the top of the hole. Put a piston there facing up. Next to the piston dig a hole to put the lava. Wire the piston to a lever preferably and turn it on. Go up to the piston and place a ladder so lava can't enter the switch area. In the hole next to the piston, place lava. In a flick of a switch, the piston will release the lava onto whoever is in the hole.

Minecraft Traps

Materials: 11 sand,
6 torches,
a hallway,
lava,
and one iron door

First make the hall way as long as you want, one block wide and eight blocks high. Place the iron door somewhere, then put sand on top of the door. Put torches on the side of the sand that is in the same direction as the hall. Put sand on top of the torches. Put torches on the outside part of that sand (the side pointing from the door). Put sand on that torch and a torch on the sand. On top of the torch, place three blocks of sand. Do the same on the other side of the door so you have a giant triangle pointing at the door. Pour lava into the triangle, and now your done. A player will break the iron door, dropping the sand, suffocating them. If they escape, lava will kill them. They can't escape because of the extra sand on the side.

The torches can hold up sand.

Minecraft traps

Materials: 1 netherrack,
a fire source,
and some soul sand

Dig a hole and put netherrack in it. Now, surround the netherrack with soul sand.The amount surrounding the netherrack is any. The trap is that, once a mob is on fire, they will slow down by the soul sand and you can easily get the loot. It works better if you use cobweb instead of soul sand.

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.

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.
