Punishable - Trolling and Home Defence

by Galeboy

Punishable adds spike, nail, bear and TNT traps that players place for defence and pranks, and that a data pack supplies to survival worlds.

What it does

Punishable adds redstone-free traps that sit on the ground or under foliage and react only when a mob steps onto them. Spike Traps and Toxic Spike Traps deal damage and knockback, and the toxic versions also apply poison for a few seconds. Nail Traps and Toxic Nail Traps work the same way with their own damage values, while a Bear Trap clamps the first mob that steps on it for 30 seconds and deals 12 damage. Traps stay inert until a player resets them, which requires a Ratchet Spanner, a cooldown of one second, and a shift right click. Items that cross a trap get stuck inside it until the next reset, so the traps can also catch dropped or thrown items.

The data pack adds the traps, a guide and a Punishable tab in the advancements menu that lists the recipes. The command punish:give/all hands every trap to a player instantly, and the Automatic TNT and Red Quicksand blocks add further defence options. The traps suit home defence, war scenes, and pranks between friends in survival mode. A server running the data pack is what makes the traps available to players.

Key features

  1. Spike and nail traps

    Spike and nail traps deal damage and knockback to mobs stepping on them, with toxic versions adding poison.

  2. Bear trap

    The Bear Trap clamps the first mob that steps on it for 30 seconds and deals 12 damage before it stops working.

  3. Traps placed under foliage

    Most small traps can be placed under foliage or trapdoors, which makes them harder to spot.

  4. Item trapping

    Items that enter a trap stay stuck inside until the trap is reset.

  5. Automatic TNT and Red Quicksand

    Automatic TNT and Red Quicksand blocks add further options to the set of traps.
