Minecraft Tutorial – Hidden Rapid Fire Dispenser Trap with Redstone

What’s up everybody my name is cap the everyday gamer and I’m going to show you how to make an automated dispenser machine-gun trap basically using pressure plates you step on it and you see it just goes to town fires off some arrows killing things that walk on top

Of us you good timing sheep so you can see that’s basically how it works oh you can shot myself so I’m going to show you how to make it now okay for starters what you’re going to need to do first is to make an actual dispenser so

Yeah I have four of them already but I’ll show you how first you’re gonna need some cobblestone you place it in the shape of an arch like this you get a bow place it in the middle and a redstone and place it down here there you have your dispenser now once you

Actually have your dispense you have to try and figure out obviously where you want it this tutorial I’m going to show you how to make it with hidden redstone you could just as easily have it completely visible you know pressure plates easy to see but I want to show

You how to do it and make it so much harder for you no enemies that gets to see it looks a little bit more pleasing so if I started you just figure out we want to place it and it faces the direction you place it from so since I

Place it on this side it’s going to shoot that way so keep that in mind when you’re deciding where you want to place it or you’ll just have to change it after you get it put in place you need to dig a hole three wide by four long like this

So that you have this nice little area what you’re going to do after that is you’re going to continue to dig down to more all the way around so once you’re done with it this is what you end up with a three by four by three hole or

Actually I think it’s four deep anyway so jump down in here and what you need to do is you need to carve out the block that’s one below the block that you’re just Pinterest sitting on so here’s your dispenser one down carve this one out leave it here the next thing you’re

Going to need to make is a pulsar and I’ll show you what this is so a few blocks back I’m going to do mine three spaces back from where the actual dispenser is put two blocks side-by-side you need four red torches place them on opposite sides like this and then your

Redstone connect a path through the middle and then through on the top and you’ll see it pulses and you’ll continue to pulse at this pace now this is what’s going to make it fire at a rapid succession so then you place one there and one there now your dispenser since

It’s above the space where the redstone is actually at your dispenser has power so the next thing you need to do is just fill in and cover up the rest of the hole now you don’t want to completely fill it in because you don’t want to cut

Off the circuit the redstone so just cover it up like so now you can see all of your power generating sources are completely hidden now the grass will grow back over of course and you know you’re good to go now I’ll show you how to make the actual pressure plate part

Of it for starters what you need to do is dig out a hole three wide in front of it and four deep again and this time you’re also going to dig out two more off to the side here and you’ll see why this is so that we can

Have our redstone actually hidden so you dig all the way down to more spaces from here so once you’re done you end up with a hole looking like this pretty similar to the other set except for it’s a little bit wider and I’ll show you what to do next

Go ahead and jump down in here and for starters what you’re going to do is you’re going to go over to spaces from where this other one is and dig a tunnel back into it you’ll go about three deep and you’ll see from here it opens back

Up into your pulsar chamber this is just where your extra redstone torch is going to go up to be able to keep it hidden from here what you need to do is if you want to do three steps like I did the three pressure plates then just place

Three blocks here and three blocks up here your pressure plates are going to go on top of here if you only want to do one block one pressure plate that’s fine then just do it so that it’s right in front of this and just place one block

Above and below now once you have this here go ahead and place redstone on the bottom three and a redstone torch on the side now you’re going to take your redstone you’re going to place it here here here and here so that this torch is lighting this all

The way up here stack one block up here and place a redstone torch on top of it and you’ll see it goes out since this torch is lit and lighting up this trail of redstone it turns this torch off so anytime we set up our pressure plates on

Top of it once we step on top of those in a lot of this redstone turn this torch off and this stream of redstone and this torch will turn on and then for the other side I’ll show you how we’re going to use that to actually turn it on

So now what we need to do is just head up and set up our pressure plates now what you’re going to do next is place your pressure plates up top here I’m doing three across again just like I did with the demonstration at the beginning mainly just because it makes it easier

So if mobs your enemies walk across they don’t have to hit just the one single plate before it starts firing that as you can see when you step on the pressure plate it turns off that stream of red stone down there and turns on the torch underneath

So this is basically all you need to have going for this side of it now I’ll show you how to set up the redstone on the other side so that it comes out hidden and activates the actual dispenser okay now what you need to do is you get your redstone right here you

Start it right there the reason you start it right there is because if you remember we set up a redstone torch right down below it so once it’s when we step on the pressure plates and all of this happens and that redstone torch comes on it’s going to light this up

Here now something to keep in mind is your redstone has to go into your dispenser in a straight line like this meaning that the line is going directly into it if you set it up like this so that it’s just running side by side here and it’s not actually connecting to it

It won’t work so they keep that in mind here that’s why I have it come out at an arch like this now yes you do have some redstone actually visible and I know I said to be hidden but you know if you have it like I do over at the other side

Where you have you know dirt set up on both sides and this is a hypothetical wall then from outside of your house all you can see is just a dispenser that’s basically all there really is to it um after that you just kind of cover up the

Hole not there don’t cover don’t fill it all the way in again just like with the other one just because you don’t want to accidentally close off one of the circuits and there you have it now something I recommend if you’re going to do this is set up some wood planks

Behind it too-tall like this that way if you’re using arrows like I have over there and it goes you know a while to start shooting arrows in whatever sticks in the wall you can collect again if you don’t have anything back there to stop it and the arrows just shoot off in the

Distance they may disappear and you may not get them again that way you can kind of restock your own supply here so for demonstration purposes I’ll put cobblestone in here just so I don’t die and I step on it and here we go and as soon as you get off it turns everything

Back off and that’s how you make an auto firing dispenser machine gun that’s kind of based on a trap if you really want to do it the easy way all you would have to do is set up redstone a go straight from the pressure plate to the dispenser but

As you can see it’s clearly obvious what’s going on so if you were doing this in a multiplayer environment well everybody would kind of know what you were doing I haven’t actually really tested it a whole lot but somebody has told me and from what I’ve seen that you

Can actually place something in front of a dispenser like this so that’s completely hidden and if you have anything in it it’ll actually shoot through whatever the block is directly in front of it let’s see if that was fixed or not okay that was actually fixed so that you can see right here

This is in the newest build that if there’s a block placed directly in front of it no longer shoots straight through it in previous builds you could have a block sitting there so that was completely hidden and as soon as you walked over a pressure plate off in the

Distance or whatever it would shoot through this block and it became it was pretty cool little setup for a trap but as you can see it’s been fixed so don’t put anything in front of it and this is what happens it just goes to town and see as I said

And have those back there you can pick them back up again and then reload your supply and that is how you make that I hope you guys enjoyed it hope that you know found it helpful use your imagination is what you can do with it obviously if you use your pulsar

Down there and you set up more than one dispenser you could have it along barrage of machine guns and set up more than one pulsar and and if you don’t want to do pressure plates you can put a lever on the back of it so as soon as

You flip the leverage as fires they turn it off or button you can use your imagination but this is just a basic how-to for making it like a trap so that it’s pretty much automated something walks in front of it steps on it they get pelted with arrows maybe it’ll kill

Them maybe not but at least you can do some damage to them set it right outside your front door of your house and you’re pretty much safe like I said I hope you guys enjoy the video if you did be sure to check out the rest of my Minecraft

Videos I have quite a few other tutorials and how-tos and tips and tricks and whatnot and I appreciate you guys feedback and I will talk to you later
