What sucks about traps that you want to kill someone is that totems nullify about 90% of designs

[@Corzappy]

It’s redeemed by the fact that the only time traps like these are useable is on SMP servers where people usually carry shields.

[@danielom8446]

​@@CorzappyI don't get why anyone would ever carry a shield. Clogs up the screen, feels slow and clunky, and isn't as good as a totem

[@BluBird12]

@danielom8446 The reason people carry shields is because they block 90% of anything that can hurt you. What I mean by that is this. For example. End crystal? Blocked, no dmg. Creepers, arrows, swords, tnt? All blocked. People in the late game will probably carry both as the shield is just so damn strong, and the totem is a op safety net that can be farmed. Totems are great when you got alot of expensive gear and are just wandering around and don't want to die to say. The creeper you didn't hear or the huge ravine you just jumped into. Both have their ups and downs, but generally, in a pvp zone, a shield is favored until they know they need to pull out a totem cause armor durability is a thing. (Or they just carry xp pots and 30 totems) Edit: Also, they're slow to deploy because server lag but if you're talking about movement. Being able to 100% block any damage for basically free while crawling is worth it because then that leaves the enemy open to attack

[@BluBird12]

@Corzappy yeah, but pearls exists too. I think what I'm trying to get at is there are too many get out of jail free cards to make alot of traps effective

[@kabanod1m]

@@BluBird12 shields also have deliberate 5 ticks of deploying delay (0.25 seconds) beside the server lag

[@jobobminer8843]

Dude, this is awesome. Well done

[@Corzappy]

I found your videos recently after looking for trap designs to get back at my friend on an SMP and to be honest I've been captivated by all of your somewhat wacky machines and unconventional redstone. One thing I'd change is timestamp your videos so there's sections of technical explanation and actual design showcase.

[@squibble111]

Yeah... Ill do that at some point

[@vulpesinculta3478]

Oh yea timestamps are great

[@Arcanilumia]

"That's exactly 0.2 seconds, which doesn't sound like much" I love that you pointed out the time it takes, since people don't ever realize just how fast human reaction time. The average human reaction time is only 0.25 seconds, so more experienced players are able to react that much faster to it

[@falsepanda2981]

Would be cool if in the future there were a way (if there is not already one that I just can't think of) to detect reasonably precise player position when they're in the air. I think an air-defense concept would be incredibly cool since most players travel around by elytra.

[@SomeCowguy]

Skulk sensors can work if they fly low/land, so just fill the ground with those next to tnt or smth

[@eshleyyy]

Bro has PHD in murderous mechanics now. With every new video just feels like an utter psychopath is delving deeper into his deadly obsession Just jokes though, I absolutely love your projects and videos, dude! Keep it up

[@ghostwithsliceoftoast]

Love how calm and chill your voice is as you describe brutal ways of killing people. Seriously though, you actually explain redstone very well, and come up with unconventional and wacky creations (like the hoe breaker). Keep up the good work

[@firenightsouls]

I absolutely love all of your videos, they're informative, entertaining, and in general just incredible to watch

[@BakeBakePi]

Great video! I love the mob popup trap, and the designs of the pitfall traps are really cool!

[@BananaShenanigans]

[@RyanEglitis]

Baby Zombies with axes, speed 2, and strength is always a fun trap too

[@DampoPossum]

Bro, that pop up trap came out of nowhere but wtf that's insanely cool!

[@tunggo5882]

i love these trap videos so much

[@owensmashups]

I wonder if the cactus thing is related to the fact that both fire and cacti delete items? Maybe some fire code was reused for cacti at some point

[@furrycow9263]

Fantastic work! One question: why haven’t you used the calibrated sensor so that the trap only gets set off by players and not random noises?

[@Lhnos]

What are your pc spec’s and how are your vids always so clean, crisp, love your vids, keep it going.❤

[@Fuzzi974]

Oh, passed the 10K subscribers already, pretty cool!

[@cinnamoncat8950]

The mob popup trap reminds of rpg encounters, maybe it could be used in map making, perhaps with some rng on if it activates

[@neonbluetroopernbf8224]

Slowness potions are a good ideal for players to be victimized by the creeper trap. If the trap is designed where defence and resistance don't matter, turtle master is a great alternative. Before you argue, yes, turtle master may give the player the chance to survive the charged creeper trap due to the high resistance however, if they get ambushed, it be difficult to escape unless they have ender pearls in their possession. This idea requires knowing how to construct the trap and you or having an ally who is good at PVP situations while close to the trap. Combine the trap with an ender pearl status chamber (preferably very hidden) and the combative can ambush as soon as the trap is triggered.

about the lava, you can put string over it to stop it from making noise, unless it was patched but I am pretty sure thats something thats possible

[@pigslayer1859]

time to go ruin all my friendships

[@craigpenninga9847]

I was actually fooling around with this stuff earlier today, and a better pitfall trap might not even need a trap. Try power 2 rails with a sensor and the rails have 10 tnt minecarts. When you run over it, the carts move and explode, launching the player upwards, well past safe fall distance. To reduce the damage to the ground, just surround it in obsidian so below isnt destroyed, only the top layer of covering soil.

[@craigpenninga9847]

I got launched to y- 1200 with 50 tnt minecarts in survival wearing basic netherite armour.

[@DangerDurians]

Doesn’t lava become silent when blocks like string are directly above them, or did they fix that, Might help with the blast resistance problem

[@TaylorMAston]

pretty sure lava only makes sound when theres an airblock above it btw, perhaps use string to cover the noise??

[@RodrigoTheHappyDog]

6:40 "This might be intuitive for you... for me it's really unintuitive" Mate, I watch your videos because it's the closest feeling I can get to being a monkey shown magic tricks.

[@frfrongong9712]

I wonder if you can make it so that it wont go off the first time it's triggered, so that you could lead others to it

[@friskwingdings4360]

lava block doesn't produce noise if there is a block above it

[@iamsushi1056]

I’m really interested to see what a self-resetting (gravity-based?) auto pitfall trap would look like

[@squibble111]

wild idea. It is not so often that someone suggests an idea that perfectly fits the criteria for what makes a good project. I'm going to try my hand at this.

[@NRandomGamer]

Since it seems to be damage sources that are constantly dealing damage that has this effect on end crystals, would berry bushes also work as an alternative since they also shouldn't have a high blast resistance?

[@squibble111]

Tried it, and it had no effect. Its hit or miss really.

[@manneg]

May have to do with the fact that berry bushes only damage on movement. Yes, the crystal is moving but the explosion on movement+damage is already *mojank*.

[@vibaj16]

@@manneg seems like it's the same things that can break minecarts

[@GOAT_GOATERSON]

That's awesome, I just have one question tho; won't the initial blast from the end crystal kill the player before they can fall down?

[@squibble111]

This setup exists under the assumption that the player is armored enough or is in a configuration in which the end crystal doesn't immediately kill them.

[@GOAT_GOATERSON]

@@squibble111 okay, got it. So, netherite Prot 4 would be enough to survive it easily?

[@furrycow9263]

I think the explosion only really serves to open up the pit quickly, most of the damage is blocked by the blocks that are destroyed

[@squibble111]

Most of the time. The original mine could kill netherite prot 4 sometimes too. Its all somewhat random

[@GOAT_GOATERSON]

@@squibble111 okay

[@chaoticimme]

what about the trap that's made of (~20) minecart tnts and a sculk sensor? i'm pretty sure that can one shot anyone at maximum gear and enchants (not sure about totems though).

[@zucchinibyday]

Its actually relatively easy to just sprint past a trap like that. All of the tnt carts explode in a single vertical column and arent pushed to the side, so if you pass thru the area fast enough you can avoid significant damage. This is because when an explosion hits a tnt cart, it instantly explodes instead of moving, so the radius overall is quite small

[@idontknow8038]

@@zucchinibyday this can be fixed by having more tnt minecarts that are spread out

How did i just crash the game by setting up sculk sensor beside cactus?

[@Matuteros]

Cristals also explode with anvill falling, how many ticks is a piston retracting and anvil falls? Also, lava doesnt sound if theres a body on top of it

[@squibble111]

Anvils take i think 1 or two ticks to realize that floating defies the laws of physics so its slower than the cactus piston.

[@checkmate058]

2x1 tunnel lossless insta blast mine. Target atop TNT, observer looking at TNT. Stone behind observer, TNT behind stone. Repeat TNT, Observer Stone walking backwards exiting 2x1 tunnel. Shoot firework down air gap hitting target block. Chain of tnt observers all detonate simultaneously, all blocks drop with zero losses.

[@vibaj16]

not simultaneous, doubt it's lossless

[@jimmoydapatat6928]

i think you can put string above lava and it stops making noise

[@vibaj16]

pretty sure that's not true

[@bomblii]

what if i put a bunch of tiny pitfalls at the bottom of a big pitfall

[@Corzappy]

Make a chain of pitfall traps with different triggers all the way to bedrock. Completely non-lethal but very flashy.

[@squibble111]

Psychological torture is an entirely different branch of trapping tbh.

[@hoteny]

0:18 why is that green thing just burning there and not taking any damage?

[@squibble111]

Its an armor stand. They don't burn in lava though, idk why.

[@xbit2011]

I may have missed it, but how do you have end crystals floating without obsidian? One can move them away from the end portal but I doubt you can get them to the over world.

[@warriorsabe1792]

I'm pretty sure you can just take the obsidian away after you place it, might need to push the crystal away with pistons first, not 100% sure on whether that part's necessary

[@pd28cat]

mine the obsidian 💀

[@Greaful]

Yeah I can just mine the obby

[@xbit2011]

Yup, you guys are right! Thanks for explaining :)

[@the64threalm]

lava actually doesn't make sound if it has a solid block on top of it

[@squibble111]

I didn't know this. damn

[@fingius]

No tnt;(

[@funky555]

could you nullify totem users by putting them on a constant damaging block (like a cactus or lava) and overwriting the damage with a second end crystal

[@squibble111]

You mean a trap that double taps people? Thats an interesting idea, but I doubt it'd work because it requires 2 high damage sources within a short time and end crystals can only be used in isolation.

[@funky555]

@@squibble111 Not totally, you know how rodtricking work right? You can overwrite the damage of a lower damage if you hit within the 0.5 second invulerability. Like if someone walked into a cactus i think you could deal damage to them in that invuleranility state and itll just overwrite the cactus damage but wont do kb. If you do that and time it so 1 tick before the i-frames reset it blows up and then the instant afte they reset it blows up again

​@@squibble111 Would launching them at high velocity into the void work? :P

[@thanksforyouropinion2682]

how to create a superflat world like you?

[@squibble111]

Go to the superflat, pick a preset, and in that menu there should be a text box. You can swap the "grass_block" in the standard preset with like "smooth_quartz", and change the number next to it to like 20 so you have 20 layers of it. You should be able to entirely remove the dirt layer if you want, or swap it with something else. Alternatively, guides or generators likely exist online.
