Reddit user FIESTeG recently shared a clip of their friend pranking them with an intricateMinecrafttrap. The clip begins with the player facing a block of Netherrack, pausing before hitting it. This attack causes a chain reaction that dissolves the sand around the player, making them plummetmanyMinecraftblocksbelow, something that may kill an unprepared player. Equipped with Elytra and rockets, FIESTeG quickly flies through the hole that they fell from to observe what happened. FIESTeG finds that the Netherrack was replaced on top of aMinecraftObserver as the clip concludes with their friend approaching them.
Although it flashes by quickly, the trap that was set utilizes multiple parts that cause the domino effect without harming the player. TheMinecraftObserver is placed above a TNT block in the middle of the sand, with signs forming rows that act as a shield for any falling players. Once activated, the TNT explodes the sand around the Netherrack trap, making the material fall with the player. The trap in FIESTeG’s video has been set above a deep mine which enabled the player to fall such a great distance without dying. While it hasn’t been used in this TNT trap, the bottom could also have a pool to prevent a player withoutMinecraft’s Elytra equippedfrom dying.
Though the trap in FIESTeG’s video is safe, explodingMinecraftTNTas it did can kill unprotected players. Beyond a player’s death, this TNT could also destroy their things if the trap isn’t designed properly. Because FIESTeG and their friend are regularly pranking each other, this trap build may not be their last.
