TheDragon's Traps
TheDragon's Traps adds a set of customizable traps for Forge on 1.20.1, including bear traps, falling cage traps and item-based traps that defend a base against mobs and players.
What it does
Each trap is built from its own parts and can be placed, customized and activated. Bear traps react differently depending on the item used on them, so the same trap can produce several results. Cage traps are assembled as a structure before they are triggered.
Other blocks in the set cover the rest of the trap types. A rotating plank can be turned to change how it blocks movement, sharpened bamboo adds a damaging option, and a fake floor made of sticks and bamboo hides a drop underneath. A hammer lets a player choose a plank and makes a creaking sound when stepped on, which can give warning of an approaching intruder.
The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is open source. Its only required dependency is Geckolib, and the files are for Forge on 1.20.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Optifine is listed as compatible.
