Foreign hey folks I have a got something a bit different for you today I’m going to resize this window so that it fits hey okay we’re doing something a bit different today I’m going to show you a mob trap that I make it’s from somebody called drunk on Custard it’s their design I’ll put the YouTube link up cute I’ve modified it a little bit to my own liking so it’s best to do this on a big flat area because you get more mob spawning and stuff and you need a 13 by 15 rectangle which You need 52 half steps for I’ve marked out the area so I’m just gonna put these down now drunk on Customs design is awesome but I found it uh oops it easy that’s as much does it I found that I was getting blown up by creepers a bit too easily okay let me Count these one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen awesome okay you can use any material you want For the next part I’m gonna use bricks just because I found a bunch of clay ah this is a a new world that I’ve generated that sound peaceful Just For This by the way so oops you want to line the inside with whichever material you’ve chosen get out of my way it’s again Chicken he wants to help he’s being a pain yeah I got um when I made this world I started on some sand that had some cleaner it so I started digging the clay and I got 60 uh three stacks of clay balls from one node of clay it’s crazy After you’ve after you’ve done this you want to find the narrow end which is this end with just 13 blocks and you want to put blocks down in the corners like this and then you run to the other end oh nose can’t have that should we use instead um let’s put logs there You want to use something fairly creeper proof for the outside so on both narrow edges you’ve got the blocks going in like that um some torches this next bit will involve a lot of fast forwarding so it doesn’t really matter there is getting to night time will just work through the night um Lava yay now you need to dig and I forgot to shovel awesome let me just make one quickly and sticks this is me not being prepared let me make another one in case there’s going to be a lot of digging okay you need to leave this bit as a border Just the one line so foreign blocks down and you’ve got that one block of border at the top now you need to make the frame and I’m going to use wood because as drunk on custard said it looks larvally so one block in from the corner so you’ve got one block up And then you just build this Frame around the outside staying one block away from the edge foreign there let’s see some dirt on me no you need to find the middle one of the narrow edges three four five six for good measure two three four five six okay Hold that shift key shift like a pro baby I’m going all the way around okay and you need a lot of glass for this too okay you’re going all the way around let me just oops lazy fill this in foreign okay now let’s see actually that’s not how I do it fail already Okay coming off one of the outside edges um I tend to do it on a narrow corner this out to cross the top and down fill this out a little so we have a pathway okay now we’re going down inside okay and uh oops across the middle across the outside we’re building this Okay put a couple of ladders there to Aid your Escape no so we can get into the middle or we can get out on the outside now we need to fill this bit with a glass now this bit needs to be glass because monsters have no traction against glass so they’ll sink easier Foreign repeatable me foreign this little enclosed chamber let me go up to the top make this a little wider and make a little uh Landing platform type thing here okay so let’s go down now you’ll need an infinite pool so now we’re going to fill it with water And you place water just on the edges like this thank you foreign you can see the waters channeling down there down there you can possibly hear that cow dying and anything that’s dropped will come down to this middle square and you’ll hop in pick it up stupid chicken there So there’s your mob trap now mine is different because mine has this platform on top that’s pretty high off the ground the reason it’s high off the ground is uh I found that um you see drunk on custard trap doesn’t have this at the top and the staircase That mint coming down you climb up the middle there and drop straight in I found that wasn’t far enough away from creepers and they would frequently blow up the outside of my trap which was no good so uh I made it like this instead no what I usually do then is uh To fill this out around here you’ll want protection from skeletons sorry you can make a house of your choosing on top um I like making mine out of glass and wood I run out of glass now but I like putting glass in the flooring because then you can see when Something’s in your trap so that’s that this is it from outside looks kind of weird so I’m just going to run back to my home to um pick up some stuff for the next phase of the project and because there are two phases um My home is a little it’s a prefab I call prefab oh that was a crazy noise I guess there’s a cave under here anyway um prefab is when you find a cave that’s doesn’t go far and it’s all dug out and all you need to do is putting a doorway And maybe a front wall so I found this um I’ve squared it out a bit but it was pretty much this size and was just missing this this block here so I just fill it in yeah it was cool um and then that will be here Um I usually make the next bit out of wood but um don’t have much left so rather than go mining and bring some from here I just needed that one piece of glass here and back over and when it’s uh done I will turn on mobs and you can see it working It looks kind of cool from over here um I decided to do this today just to break up the let’s play series a little bit and show you some building type stuff instead of showing you me running around type stuff um I usually build these on my single player world I find them very good Living Spaces okay I can actually turn on mobs for this bit actually I’ll put it on easy because that doesn’t affect the um spawn rate I did my ax go I used up my ax okay let’s make another ax and let’s make a chest because I don’t Need all of this stuff that can go in there I don’t think those actually I might need those all this away um now this isn’t a very um lucrative trap it’s not as it’s not like a mob spawner that collect stuffers doesn’t give you as much drop rates as some of the other Trappy things I’ve seen out here but um it’s a fun one and it doubles as a very pretty living space and that’s what I like about it okay I’ll put this ladder down there actually oh the pig just don’t there so this is what I do to lure mobs in To be careful of skeletons at this point but um I think I’ll be okay she says okay two by two path surely lighted too shouldn’t I if you don’t want to stop spawning on my path that would be that would be bad let’s see how far after I am another one two three Um actually I’ll do this properly to to and up it was let’s count one two three four five there you go one two three hey creeper so five and if I run back here that creeper should fall in the water yep there’s a couple of creepers down there And you can see the wood blocks in there too from where I knocked out the wood one two three four five okay now they can’t get out of there because of the current and they’ll get sucked in and they start drowning I just hear two of them drone yay Now the function of this thing I’m building is so that when is night time and you’re taking shelter in your house the Trap won’t be very effective because mobs don’t spawn immediately next to you to where you are there’s like a radius before they start spawning So the only way to get mobs to go into your trap is to lure them in obviously you don’t want to be running around like a lunatic down there where it’s dark and dangerous so you make a a Runway type thing zombie just fell in good stuff one two three four Five and we go and meet it one um I don’t like building this up to the cob a little bit whatever I like that up that looks pretty dark over there let’s go and put a torture over there too oops it easy shift key fail You can build this as wide out as you like it’s sole purpose is attracting mobs you can even build several of them in concentric Rings going further and further out should you so desire there’s a spider these things don’t work on spiders unfortunately but what they do tend to do is if the Spider goes into the into the water they sort of get stuck just in the water there if you have a bow and arrow you can stand on top of your house and shoot them down and then because they’re in the water they’ll when they die the stuff will Drop into the water and get carried down into you thing your collection bit by the currents dark um okay okay I’ll take it across hey Mr zombie you can’t catch me okay so we’ve got this done torch there all right zombies falling in the water now hey I’ve got loot Let’s see what I picked up one piece of ham and one piece of sulfur there’s the zombie drowning I can’t see him actually I think he’s there there he goes let’s see if he drops feathers feathers that was a piece of uh leather armor there sometimes the loot sort of hovers where The monster died for a little bit and then it’s pulled down so yeah this is it I usually make this a little bit wider I put a oops I put a border on the let’s just do this to demonstrate because uh as I said you need protection from skeletons So I’ll put a boulder like this all the way around and you can sort of jump up and aggro something then fall back in again and keep on walking around so this is it um just to make this Central to that bit cool now you can build your house here And what I tend to do is build some walls go up a level take the floor wider and then build some more walls so that I’ve got a bit more living space on higher floors oops yeah it looks very weird but I like them that you’d have a big box in the Middle Where your house would be okay see you next time Video Information

A temporary deviation from my LP series – a monster trap! Hurrah! (Note – I forgot that the title card had ‘episode 4’ in it and I didn’t want to sit through another two hours of rendering ;p)
