Simply Traps
Simply Traps is a lightweight Forge and NeoForge mod that adds seven traps, from spike and slime traps to barbed wires, for building challenges into a world.
What it does
The mod adds seven traps in a vanilla-style look, including stakes, a wall of stakes, a spike trap, a grass trap, a slime trap that slows enemies, and circular barbed wires. Players can use them to create challenges or to guard an area. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. Builds are released for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, and the author notes that constant updates and new features should not be expected.
