Strange Traps
by Munur35
Strange Traps adds placeable trap blocks to Minecraft, with six tiers that deal different amounts of damage when a player steps on them.
What it does
Traps are built from wood, bamboo, iron, gold, diamond, netherite and honey, and each material sets how the trap behaves when a player presses it. The simplest trap deals 1 heart of damage and breaks after it is pressed, while the bamboo and wooden traps deal 2 hearts and break as well. Iron, gold, diamond and netherite traps deal 3, 4, 5 and 6 hearts and can be rebuilt after triggering, so a trap line can be reused. The diamond trap takes half of the player's health.
Each trap tier also applies its own effect on the player, and the honey trap slows movement for a short time and adds a glowing outline. Because the traps are ordinary blocks, they can be placed in tunnels, doorways and arenas to set up traps for other players or for mobs in adventure maps.
The mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.4 only, under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Client and server both need it, so a server and every player must install it.
