The obsidian trap as it is so easy to do in Skywars.

Hahaha how could I forget

Click Q next to lava also works (must be holding item you want to dupe)

@@TheMisterEpic I've seen a video from an smp series where an op accidentally built an iron door trap at spawn because he forgot about spawn protection and then another player without op permissions walked into it and couldn't escape at all XD

Also if I am remembering correctly, you can still place it under “falling” sand, as in you can place it under sand if you break a block and instantly place a torch before the sand actually starts falling and it will hold the sand up.

The mob proximity detectors still work too if I remember correctly

Maybe I'll make an updated video in a few months with more newer traps

they are also adding sculk sensors

Don't forget that dripstone can be used as a trap as well.

@@TheMisterEpic Don't forget end crystal traps (the instant landmine). I had a lot of fun with that :)

we could use quicksand in the upcoming one

Definitely. For a slew of examples, I'd recommend Cubfan135's video titled "No Longer Safe"

Warden traps, anyone?

Yep. Sound-activated land mines are a favorite on a little SMP I'm part of. Also, for less destructive annoyances, a whole pile of shriekers under someone's base is hilarious.

just... break the block below you?

People are crazy creative, that would be a good video topic too!

Redstone alternatives was what they were called. Made a few maps myself.

@@The_Jzoli that’s super cool! Impressive

I mean, it's not surprising traps have come a long way if you consider the fact that Mojang likes to add new content to the game

Yeah, I just made a system that'll trap any barrel without using that much space haha. Using tnt minecarts so the player can't run.

Another option is a bucket of lava, if you place it and pick it up before it flows into you, that breaks the portal blocks

@@rowanbaillie9814 that only works for one type of trap

Funny to find a Kerbal Space Program player here.

Oh damn, I knew I had seen it in an earlier video!

:)

IMO the best use was putting a water block and a full block above, so the player drows before they can break the pressure plate

@@thiagoandrey2897 swim and place a block above you to block off water

@@Firefly256 ?! How are you supposed to do that? Your head is in the water source block

@@DevourerDragons if you’re in water you can swim to get you from 2x1 body to 1x1 body. Similar to how crawling works using trapdoors

@@Firefly256 pretty sure you need both parts of your body under water. Besides, the moment there is the space above you to place a block, you would stand up instantly

X-sus

I like both textures I wonder if they could reintegrate it? The old one As like a fine gravel for beaches? And the new one as Coarse gravel in caves?

What

@@nevermore3055 Old TNT mechanic was that once placed, hitting it would trigger it to explode, so an old trap was to replace the top log of a tree with TNT so that when someone tried cutting it down, they would hit the TNT and trigger it. OP is saying it was described in an unofficial book. A pressure plate causing one to drop to their death is still possible by putting sand under the pressure plate, TNT under that, and a drop.

@@mystic-malevolence No I think there was redstone involved in the tree one I remember it, they had a lever on the bottom of a log which was deactivating redstone torches and when you mined the log the torches activated along with the tnt

@@mystic-malevolence that’s not it, it used a lever on the bottom part of the trunk with redstone torches connected to it so when the bottom block was broken it would activate a load of tnt around it

@@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544 Interesting, I have trouble picturing how that would work without having the bottom block half-buried, but it at least doesn't rely on a tnt mechanic removed in Beta 1.7.

Thank you Jeff

Ah i see, you're a man of culture as well

It really is the most satisfying trap! I like do use an ore with a torch on the back as bait, and the torch falls in a pressure plate that activates a piston to break the support torch.

Hahaha

No it isnt, grow up, it's a joke.

...In Magic-Gum's 'Build a Civilization'-Videos, TNT ias always used in a way that legit makes me think he should ban it from the next Experiment.

Please do some research before spreading misinformation. Trap has and always will refer to crossdressing males in anime. Literally use the search terms "anime trap" and you'll notice that almost none of the characters actually identify as the opposite of their birth gender. Trap being a transphobic slur is just an example of a misunderstanding getting out of hand. Now I'm gonna go back to reading doujins and watching videos praising traps.

@@trunguss I'm literally trans you don't get to tell me what is and isn't offensive to me, either listen to trans people or shut it, never speak for us

It's not the same thing as a transgender person, no one uses it as a slur and it wouldn't make sense as one.

it was in reference to an Astolfo skin, with character architypes like Astolfo being the origin of the word trap (as in people would look at a cishet male character like Astolfo, but due to their feminine appearance think the character in question is a girl. It would then be put in conjunction with admiral Ackbar from Starwars saying "it is a trap!", hence the term was coined). Trap is not and should never be used to refer to real people, it was originally meant to refer to cis male characters in anime who are outwardly feminine due to the fact they are often mistaken for girls by people who don't know the character's actual gender. This is the most common usage of the world outside of, well, traps like bear traps or the contents of this video. I think KorewaEden said it well. "I am neither of the ideology that the word trap is inheritely transphobic or can never be transphobic. I think using the word trap to describe real trans people is incredibly disrespectful and when it comes to just calling normal trans characters traps, at that point it's not even being disrespectful, you are just being wrong."

@@Expocat69420 I appreciate you telling me more of the history of the word than I originally knew, however that still doesn’t change the fact that the word is still used in an incredibly derogatory way towards trans people to this day. As a trans man I’m not comfortable with cis people jokingly calling anyone or anything a trap, because it’s origins are inherently trans/homophobic in nature.

@@BitterKatze I explained in the comment the origins and original usage of the term. Specifically how it relates to a character like, idk, Astolfo. Astolfo is a character from the Fate franchise who is a heterosexual, cis man who appears feminine. In other words, a femboy. And how did "trap" come to describe fictional characters like Astolfo? General Ackbar knows (as in it started as a meme for when people mistook the cishet male Astolfo for a girl). Meaning the origins are not homophobic/transphobic in nature, it originated from a god damn general Ackbar meme about Astolfo. And before you say it, I have a transfem friend who literally spends like atleast an hour a day explaining in her anime discord how in that context it isnt offensive. Why? Because she is a massive fan of anime traps and calls them that. I suppose this is where I say I am a femboy lol, me cute boy in skirt like Astolfo.

@@Expocat69420 Bro what’s not clicking here? It doesn’t matter that the character or person being described as a trap is cishet, it’s still actively harmful to the trans community. Real trans people are called traps every day in a derogatory way, especially trans women. The word trap literally directly contributes to violence against trans women. Femboy or not you’re still cis and you’re speaking over the trans community. Take a step back and acknowledge that you are telling me, a trans man who experiences transphobia and is called a “reverse trap” constantly by cis gay men, that I’m wrong. I don’t care if you use it within your own friend groups, but making jokes like the one in the video in front of potentially millions of people is crossing a huge line. More people are going to see this video and think these jokes are ok for them to make, further spreading it’s use and increasing the violence and hate against trans people. At this point I’m done wasting my breath speaking to you. I encourage you to do more research on the word and how it affects other real trans people, read about our experiences instead of using your own little echo chamber as your only source of information.

@@BitterKatze There is no echochamber, i actively avoid situations where I am only being fed one side of the story. The thing is that _you_, a trans person ive met over the internet have a problem with it, but _other_ trans people ive met over the internet (including in this comment section) have either continued to respecfully disagree or largely agreed that in the specific context of anime, non-real characters that it shouldn't be that big of a deal because most people should A. have the basic ability to separate reality from fiction B. not let internet humor guide or impact their decision making. Again pointing to the KorewaEden quote. There is also the fact that in many LGBT circles and groups on the internet, Trap is a *contentious* term, key word: contentious. It means that there is *disagreement.* Often you will get people say "Is trap a slur?" and most of the time you'll get a "Yes, it is." But if you ask the question "Is it a slur in reference to anime femboys?" then suddenly throw consistency out the window you got a debate on your hands. and mind you, I formed my opinions based on other people's perspective. A trans friend of mine moderates a public discord server that pertains to anime. They are generally very familiar with anime and internet culture. And her stance is basically identical to mine: "If you use it against a trans person, you're scum. If you use it against Astolfo, funny meme". Infact, this anime server is filled with trans and lgbt people yet you can't go 5 seconds after posting an astolfo pic before one of them post an ackbar gif. And before you say it, calling said people a trap will be easily the fastest way to get yourself banned. Trust me, ive witnessed it (though being known as a generally kind and respectful individual will just get you a warning as they assume you're misinformed) What this more tells me is that you aren't familiar with the culture and usage of terms in the anime community. A really dumb comparison here would be telling Spanish speakers to stop using "negro" because it is an offensive slur in English, even though in Spanish it is a perfectly harmless and normal word simply meaning the color black (though maybe it isn't as dumb of a comparison since "negro" and its... derivatives were introduced to the English language by the Portuguese and Spanish)

The comedic definition and origin (which I had outlined above) came first. It was transphobes who toom this comedic term and started using it to harass trans people, similar to how pepe was initially just a harmless funny frog character before far right people started using pepe for their own purposes. And similar to pepe, the comedic non-harmful usage is still much more common than the derogatory/offensive usage.

@@Expocat69420 glad to know that you are telling me, a person who had to deal with being called this insult and is trans, that this is not an insult. really makes me feel so much better. what do you think youre gonna achieve? its an insult, it was used as an insult here, and youre not gonna change that by lecturing me.

oh btw, the origin of the trap thing is not Astolfo, it was used waaaaaay before that lmao. and the actor that played the character in starwars said themselves that they dont like this meme because its transphobic. stop lecturing minorities about their experiences.

@@singingice I'm sorry but you can literally go back through the catacombs of the internet and the term trap originates with general ackbar memes about cismale anime characters like Astolfo. If you feel so strongly about a term, learn it's actual origin. The term was coined by the popularity of general ackbar memes pertaining to cismale characters who appear feminine. And mind you, you're not the only minority here. I have a trans friend (i know that sounds really cringe as the "mY blACK frIEND" arguement but listen please) who themselves was called a trap before, but the thing is: they went into the origins of the term and recongize the original usage of the term. They don't really use the term to refer to anime femboys, but they recongize the usage and, key word: don't get offended or assume malice in those who use the term to refer to fucking anime characters. Again, I will point back to that KorewaEden quote. And pointing back to myself: I am a femboy, akin to the likes of Astolfo or Hideri. Ive been called a trap, and I don't like being called one. But the thing is that, like in the quote, there is the harmless original usage referring to anime femboys that I, my trans friend, and half of r/asklgbt and r/trans appear to have no issue with (infact I bring it up all the time in those subreddits how inconsistent the view of the term trap is. Like I would be less likely to appose a term entering a realm of taboo if everyone agrees on it, but uhh... they don't. It is not uncommon for people to go onto those subreddits, ask "is trap a slur?" and by the flip of the coin you either get "yes" as the most upvoted comment or "yes if used to refer to actual trans people. No if uses to refer to anime femboys" as the most upvoted comment. If one ends up being the most upvoted, the other will be the 2nd most upvoted. Inconsistency! I love it /s!) And no I am not trying to demean your experiences. But you also have to seperate harmless usage from actual malice. If you don't learn this VERY IMPORTANT skill, eventually every single word in the English language and every other language will become taboo simply because some bigot got a bright idea. Don't let the bigots win, they tend to stop using a term if the target group stops caring about it, and will instead go into a different term that DOES make you mad. Wow it's almost like they don't care what the word is aslong as it makes you mad and feel bad, it could be pickle ffs and they would probably use it.

@@Expocat69420 not you thinking the term didnt exist before the internet...
