Bamboo Spikes
by justfatlard
Bamboo Spikes adds a bamboo-built block that hurts anything that walks into it, and multiplies fall damage for entities that land on it.
What it does
Spikes can be placed on a floor, a ceiling, a wall or underwater, and each one orients itself to the surface it is set against. Five spike pieces arranged in an X with a center piece form one complete trap. Entities walking through the spikes take damage, and falling onto them deals five times the normal fall damage, so a pit lined with spikes becomes a lethal trap.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. It is a Fabric mod and needs Fabric API. It also uses Pandorical to register its blocks, items and models and to sync its other assets, and Pandorical must be present on both the server and the client. Clients without it fall back to vanilla rendering. Builds exist for 1.21.11 and 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Bamboo spike trap block
A placeable hazard that injures any entity stepping through it, built as a five-piece X with a center.
Directional placement
Spikes can be set on floors, ceilings, walls and underwater, each facing the surface it attaches to.
Amplified fall damage
Falling onto spikes deals five times the normal fall damage, which makes pits and drop shafts dangerous.
Tool-based breaking
Spikes break fastest when mined with an axe, so a sensible tool choice speeds up clearing a trap.
