Simple Security
by thesillywag
Simple Security is a Forge utility mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds craftable trap blocks which affect entities that walk over them.
What it does
The mod adds simple craftable blocks that damage, set on fire or slow down mobs and players who step onto them. Most traps are crafted from iron and other materials, and some need a Modification Table. The mod was originally made with MCreator, and it is aimed at builders who want a quick defensive tool rather than a complex system. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.1.0 as the latest file.
Key features
Damaging traps
Some blocks hurt entities that walk over them, which suits simple base defenses.
Fire and slowing effects
Other blocks set walkers on fire or slow mobs down, with settings for how each one behaves.
Craftable from common materials
Traps are crafted from iron and other materials, and some require a Modification Table.

What the author says
Simple Security contains blocks that require iron and other materials relating to their purposes. They do certain effects when walked over, with some setting things ablaze, others simply just damaging, others slowing mobs down.
