Evolved Traps
by HiddenThorn
Evolved Traps gives players a set of placeable trap blocks for defending bases, villages and other areas against mobs and other players.
What it does
Each trap is a block that reacts when a mob or player steps on it or touches it. The traps cover several effects: a fire trap that sets nearby attackers alight, a lava trap that encases a 3x3x3 area of lava behind glass, a water trap that drowns an opponent, and a cage trap that builds iron bars around whatever activated it so the target is captured instead of destroyed.
Other traps remove or redirect enemies. A pitfall comes in grass and stone variants and deletes a 3x4x3 area of blocks. A void trap sends the next mob that touches it into the void, and a devourer trap spawns four Devourers to attack. A bounce trap launches a player or mob into the air, and a stronger version sends them even higher. The traps are meant for base defense, so they suit survival worlds and multiplayer servers where owners want automatic protection.
The mod is for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, the only game version it is built for. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the author holds the rights under All rights reserved. The latest Forge file is 1.0.2, published 2023-11-12.

The lava trap builds a glass-enclosed 3x3x3 cube of lava, and the water trap drowns its target.
