    The "idiot trap" really was an og trap that I use to see all the time but now haven't seen in almost a decade. I used to get PTSD whenever I saw a iron door because people got very creative in disguising this trap. You would think this trap would be pretty easy to spot, and most were, but some creative people were really dedicated to using this trap or at least something very similar to it.

    Edit: Yeah, there are actually a lot of new traps coming out so Mojang really hasn't forgotten about how the community love making traps.

I built a nether trap near the center to defend against whoever tried it and turn the tables on them. Too bad I was later raided by a premium player that was basically in creative mode.

    You can also place cobwebs in a way that makes the head of players stuck inside of the web, pretty much making them unable to hit you back (you can either crit them out then or proceed to obitrap then). This is very common in gamemodes like gommehd skywars and players like x-sus have mastered it. It also makes for good pvp clips. The german pvp community in general hasn't forgotten trapping unlike most of the others, it's needed for knockback bedwars, hg, skywars and a lot of 1v1 modes. For me it's just a normal part of pvp, and i was kinda surprised it's not used outside of uhc in the international scene.

    Trapping in minecraft was one of the first things that got me into redstone, though back then we had to wait an exaggeratedly long time for lava to set off tnt in an era without redstone, so pitfalls were the go-to trap.

    In the Minecraft minigame called ‘The Walls’ I always used to make a skybase with a staircase attached to it that went to the build limit. The staircase was made into a square (3x3) with a gap in the middle that led to the very bottom of the skybase with 1 block of water. I used to let people chase me on the stairs, went all the way up and
    fell down again to the bottom. Then I quickly removed the water so that the other player would fall to their death while following me. It was so much fun to do!

    • @BitterKatze
      @BitterKatze 2 года назад +1

      @The Yangem 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
      @BitterKatze 2 года назад

      @The Yangem 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.

    One of my favourite trap techniques is murder holes. Though they are not quite as useful as they were before, it is still exhilarating when I can use one to kill a mob. Besides that, creating piston traps for creepers so that skeletons shoot them and drop CDs is also grand.

  • @shadoward126
    @shadoward126 2 года назад

    One of my old favorites was using parallel piston-BUD's with TNT.
    The trap would be installed into a floor with a trapped chest directly on top of the TNT, leaving it visible and obvious.
    A victim would see the TNT and attempt to break it, triggering the BUD's and thus the remaining TNT (and whatever else is connected to it).
    Don't forget anvil traps too. A falling anvil could do some serious damage or simply create a sturdy obstacle to slow a victim down for the real payload.
