AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Those new mobs look cool. :O

You know how you, the Minecraft player, builds during the day then hides away during the night?

Maybe these mobs will build during the night and then hide away during the day.


That'd be so cool if they were terrified of you - like the tables have been turned. A mob that is afraid of the player instead of the player being afraid of the mob. You know how Creepers hide around corners? These things need to do that, except keep getting farther away instead of running at you and exploding.

Much like everything else, Until I figure out what they want with me, weather it be kill me or bake me a delicious pie, I am going to be scared of them

If they just build things and run away, I could find them cute.

And if the things they built were trapped?

*click*

"What the hell was--"

BOOM

Then they would be badass.

especially if the traps explode.


Because they only "Trap" is the dispenser

So you think.

Until you step on a pressure plate and suddenly the ground falls out from under you. You land safely with half a heart of health left, perfectly calibrated by the insidious design. Your tomb is about twenty blocks wide on all sides, with the only light coming from hole you fell through.

And then you hear the hiss of your swift demise.

I once constructed a trap on a multiplayer server. It looked like a regular house. Totally inconspicuous. Only weird thing was that the floor was a block lower than the ground around the house.

Walk in, step on a pressure plate, hidden by the floor being lower.
The click sets off TNT. The floor is sand. The TNT is under the floor.

Fall into a pit of water. TNT harmlessly goes off under the sand. Except two blocks. Thouse two blocks blow up the walls next to you.

The walls are filled with lava.

Most people drown inside the newly formed cobblestone.

A few get out of the water in time. Only a few.

But they don't get out.

And then I rebuild the trap.

And then I wait.

I did something similar a few months ago when Malum was making a bar of some sort in the old, old, old world. We suggested he do it in the cliffside and put traps in.

I took the idea and did it on another multiplayer server. Entire "bar" is made of obsidian is open to the side of the flat cliff with nothing but a pit to the bedrock below. There is a one block lip out over the void, set a block below the edge to hide the pressure plates. Step on one and TNT detonates to release a hidden wall of lava in the only stone wall at the back. Not enough time to run to the stairs before the lava reaches it.

They can either jump and die of fall damage, wait to die from the lava, or get lit on fire then jump.

I'm bad with traps. The only thing I can think of is:

A pressure plate activated piston pushes TNT into a Redstone Torch, wherein it falls down a pit onto the unfortunate victim.

but SEE

that's actually really simply brilliant.

also who else has done traps involving just water

because lemme tell you

a one way door

a button that looks like it opens the door

but closes another and floods the room with water

is hilarious

completely hilarious

In my multiplayer server I made an egg dispenser that would push you in the lava but what I really want is fans so I can have a wind faction. Let me explain if your still there:
On my server you can choose to be in an elemental faction
Fire Thunder Ice

Every Sunday Sunday Sunday! we have a war day and we try and invade each others cities. Its quite fun and the winning faction gets part of the defeated towns funds for expanding their own town (with the towny plugin)
