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.
