10 Ways to Make Traps in Minecraft!

Hello everyone this is mumbo and welcome back to another redstone video and in this one we’re going to be getting our evil hat and boots on because we’re going to be taking a look at 10 redstone traps that you can use to capture all your mates now before we begin i just

Want to mention that i’m doing this video in collaboration with magma museum who is a fantastic youtuber that all of you should check out and they are going to be covering 10 traps as well so that means after watching my video you should check out their video meaning you’ll

Have 20 traps in total making you probably one of the deadliest minecraft players in existence but anyway that’s enough talking let’s crack on and i’ll show you what i’ve got for you now we’re going to start things off today with a relatively simple one i like to call

This one the griefer bomb because it targets anyone who’s coming into your base specifically to try and steal your items so here we have a chest on top of that chest we have got ourselves a block and of course that means that the chest cannot be opened now a griefer is going

To think well hey i’m going to take out the block i’m going to gain access to the items but as you can see that’s not going to end particularly well we heard the tnt everything’s exploded and now we’ve fallen down into the void not particularly brilliant is

It now i do just quickly want to mention that you don’t have to hook this up to tnt you can hook it up to lava or an opening floor or something like that i just like to use tnt because let’s face it that’s definitely the most exciting

Now i’m not going to be doing the tutorial in this video however i will put a link to the tutorial down in the description reason i’m doing that is to make this video flow a little bit better so if you do want to see how to build

This thing click on those links but now let’s move on to the second design trap number two is known as potions through the roof as you can see right here we’ve got ourselves a little room and if we walk over these tripwires potions are fired and they cause the

Player a ton of damage now obviously if you were going to build this for yourself you’d probably do a better job at hiding away the tripwire and things because that’s really quite obvious you’re not going to be catching many people out with that one but this is

Just a demonstration now if we just head up to the top you can see all of the redstone behind this thing and it’s actually really quite simple consisting mainly of two regular pistons and a bunch of dispensers now the way that this thing works is actually really quite cool if we hit

This button right here you can see that our blocks move back and forth and all of the potions are fired through the blocks when the blocks are in between positions now this is due to pistol behaviors and things like that and when blocks are between positions they sort

Of count as entities and things can pass through them all a little bit complicated but it works wonders for this design and it means that this design functions really nicely now in terms of the redstone you can probably get a rough idea of what’s going on but

For those of you out there who want a little bit extra clarification do not worry there’s a link to the tutorial down in the description and also on the screen so in front of us we have got ourselves a rather big redstone circuit this is my ultimate hidden spiral staircase as you

Can see there’s quite a few circus going on loads of different bits and pieces happening and all in all it’s quite a complex little thing but above it we have got ourselves of some floating water now if your friends are into redstone and they like building big redstone contraptions place one of these

Down and watch them pull their hair out to try to work out how to get rid of it if they get too close and trigger any of the string yeah that happens and you’re gonna have a very frustrated friend indeed now the way that you build this one is

Really quite simple first off find one of your friends redstone contraptions then place a few bits of string down like this place an ice block on top of that string then surround the ice block with string just like that then surround the entire thing with glowstone or

Torches just make sure that you don’t update any of the string once the ice melts there we go the ice is now surrounded in string and glowstone then what i’m going to do is be a little bit cheaty here and force the ice to melt really quite quickly so there we go

That’s that then we can take out all the glowstone and just sit and wait wait until you see very angry messages in the chat when your friend tries to remove it and ends up covering the entire redstone contraption in a bunch of water so far a lot of the designs

Featured in today’s video have been really quite simple so i thought i’d throw in a slightly more tricky one just to get your brains working this is known as the diamond dropper trap and i’m sure all of you can guess what’s about to happen here we take out the diamond and

Suddenly the floor is removed from underneath our feet we can drop down into lava or perhaps it’s just a falling player trap but essentially it means that you’re going to kill your friends now one of the cool things about this design is the fact that if you want to

Reset it all you have to do is chuck down another set of diamonds you can see that our trap door has now returned if we take out the diamonds again of course that’s reset the entire mechanism and it works over and over again so if you’ve

Got lots of friends you can kill lots of friends which is definitely the best situation to be in now there is a world download for this one down in the description if you do want to check it out for yourselves perhaps take a closer look at the redstone but anyway let’s

Crack on with the tutorial links in the description and also on the screen now let’s face it the potion through the ceiling trap was pretty cool but it could do with being just a tiny bit more explosive so i’ve created this thing the tnt through the ceiling when we hit this

Button right here you can see that tnt is dropped right the way through the roof and makes its way down to the bottom blowing up anything underneath hopefully that’ll be your friend’s base now as you can see here the roof is completely flush there are no visible

Dispensers or anything like that and it uses a similar principle to the potion design in which we retract a block while the tnt is dispensed meaning the tnt falls through that block now of course if you were building this thing for yourself you wouldn’t be using

A button you’d use some form of pressure plate or tripwire or other activation device if you really wanted to but that was just for a demonstration but in terms of the redstone behind this thing as you can see it’s actually really quite simple we’ve got a few circuits

Going around here and a few circuits going down there a dispenser and a sticky piston but that’s pretty much it so i’m really really happy with this one and as always links to the tutorial can be found down in the description and also on the screen

Now this one i’m really quite proud of already you can see it’s got quite a big mess of redstone behind it but if we walk over this tripwire here as you can see we gradually get pushed off the edge i like to call this one the player

Sweeper and as you can see it mainly consists of a triple piston extender now to reset this thing we have to do is hit this button right here as you can see all of the blocks are retracted back into the wall ready for use once again pretty sweet now i’m sure there’s going

To be a bunch of people with a ton of questions about this design and i’ll be happy to answer you guys down in the comment section but there’s one thing that i’m sure will come up unless i address it and that is the fact that i haven’t used slime blocks in this one

Now the simple answer for that is because slime blocks are a massive pain in the bum first off we’ve got the slime block push limit which just really does cause problems with these sorts of things but also slime blocks aren’t particularly hidden if we had slime

Blocks in the wall then the player would definitely know something was up so if you had slime blocks hidden behind these blocks then there’d be plenty of logistical things to work out first off the slime blocks would drag these blocks with them and these blocks as well which

Would cause issues so we could replace those with removable objects but then of course that would give something away so if we didn’t use removable objects to return these back to their original positions after being dragged about with the slime blocks would have involved a ton of redstone mechanics and i can

Promise you that this triple piston extender here is far simpler than it would have been if i had used the green stuff now of course because this design is a tiny bit on the complicated side i’m not going to be doing a tutorial on this one

However i will put a world download down in the description if anyone wants to check it out download it chuck it into your world saves folder and take a closer look but anyway moving on to our next track trap number seven is a little bit of a strange one it uses a concept

That i’ve featured many times on my channel before i like to call this one the piston string trap and it uses a piston and a string that’s it there’s no funny business going on we don’t have any tripwire hooks around here but if we stand on this string you can see that

The piston retracts and we immediately fall through the floor now like all good redstone contraption this one uses buds but it’s a slightly different kind of bud that you might not have seen before it’s a little bit on the strange side now i will cover this in a little bit

More detail during the tutorial but i thought i’d quickly explain it here as you can see this redstone right here is powering this piston and this redstone right here is powering this piston but if we place down this lever the redstone is no longer powering the piston but the

Pistons still think it’s powered and it’s the same thing on this side as well so that means that if we cause any of these pistons here in update they’re going to retract which means if we cause this piston update using that string it will retract causing this piston an

Update which will cause this piston to retract moving the piston out the way so that we fall through the floor tutorial down in the description and also on the screen but let’s move on now i do apologize for the disgusting wool textures right here unfortunately my texture pack hasn’t updated to

Minecraft 1.9 just yet and this trap requires minecraft 1.9 because it requires the player to have frost walker as you can see right here if we walk across like this without our frost walker boots on nothing is going to happen but if we chuck our boots on then

Walk through like this as you can see we floor right away through the floor now the reason that this is an interesting one is because of course frostwalker is a really difficult enchantment to get you have to find it you can’t get it in an enchanting table which means that if

You can kill players with frostwalker you’re going to be doing pretty well now in terms of the redstone behind this thing it’s actually relatively simple what we have here is a water source block when a player walks past with frost walker that of course will be turned into frost that causes an update

Through this piston which triggers all of this redstone opening up our trapdoor down at the bottom it’s a really simple concept but it seems to work wonderfully well there’ll be a tutorial for that one down in the description and also on the screen trap number nine is probably one of the

Slightly more evil ones this one’s called the no update bomb and it basically means that the player can’t update any of these blocks if they tried to take out some of this redstone as you can see all of the tnt updates and we get ourselves a rather large explosion

It’s extremely difficult to handle and if your friend comes along to try and take out any of the blocks they’re really going to struggle probably blowing themselves up in the process now this design actually uses a similar concept to the piston string design with the redirecting of redstone currents and

Things i’m sure most of you can work out how it works but once again there’ll be a link to the tutorial down in the description and also on the screen so click through if you want to see that but anyway let’s move on to the final design of today’s video So this one is one of the oldest tricks in the book it’s known as the redstone or trap door and as you can see when we walk through the corridor and step on the redstone ore we go right the way through the bottom now of course this

Could drop us down into some form of falling trap or love or something like that but all in all it works extremely nicely and of course it uses buds to work again now the way that this one works is due to redstone at war’s behavior so as you can see right here

When we place this down this is just a regular block but if we jump on it it causes a redstone update we’ve got ourselves particles going everywhere and that causes a block update meaning that any piston attached to it that is being bud powered will detect that update and

Retract or extend or whatever it’s going to do now in this case we’ve got the redstone all on the end of a budded piston which means that when it receives an update that piston is going to retract making us fall through the floor there’ll be a tutorial for this one down

In the description if you do want to check it out it will also be on the screen so there we go so there we go that rounds up all of the traps i personally have for you that being said though you’ve still got 10 more traps to watch because once again

I’m doing this video in collaboration with magma museum who is an absolutely fantastic youtuber if you haven’t watched any of their videos before they’re informational they’re tutorial based about details in minecraft and they also have informative videos about various different features of minecraft and they’re seriously brilliant one of

My favorite youtubers if not my favorite youtuber at the minute and when they asked me if i wanted to do a collaboration with them i jumped at the opportunity because they’re just awesome they’re seriously so very awesome so after you’ve finished watching their traps video you should watch all of

Their other videos because you’re definitely going to be interested but unfortunately that is all i’ve got time for today i hope you enjoyed today’s video if you did be sure to hit that like button and if you really loved it then make sure to subscribe but thanks
