by JamesLeDolphin

James' Traps adds a set of traps for Minecraft, including wooden and iron spikes that damage entities and can also apply a potion effect.

FabricForgeClient and serverCC0 1.0 Universal1.16.5 – 1.19.3

What it does

Traps from the mod deal damage to any entity that touches them. Spike variants can add a configured potion effect on top of the damage, so a trap can slow or weaken what walks across it. The content runs on client and server, and both sides need the mod. Builds exist for Fabric and Forge across 1.16.5, 1.18.2 and 1.19.3, released under CC0 1.0 Universal and not open source.

Key features

  1. Damaging spikes

    Wooden and iron spikes hurt entities that move onto them, adding a simple obstacle to a base or path.

  2. Potion effects on contact

    Some spike types also apply a set potion effect to the entity they hit, beyond the damage.

  3. More content planned

    The author notes that more traps and more game versions are planned for later updates.
