don't forget the other oldest trap in the book: Press Alt + F4 for free diamonds
Hahaha how could I forget
Click Q next to lava also works
(must be holding item you want to dupe)
press f3 + c for 10 seconds
Omg really lemme ju-
I thought you got free diamonds from throwing a shulker of netherite into a cactus pit
i will forever remember the idiot trap as the one that Jerma thought was going to spin.
So funny
@@TheMisterEpic lol
The thing is, If you hide the idiot trap in plain sight, It becomes Very good
JERMA?! SUS!!!!!1!!1!!1!!1!1!1!!!
Did mob path finding ever actually make them walk through the doors onto the pressure plate though? I know I never caught any.
>"When players discovered Iron Doors"
Man that takes me back, when things were added and not everything was announced. Such a magical time for Minecraft.
The traps of our childhoods, when we used to trap our friends using these in pocket edition, console editions and early java. Those were the days
ikr
Shocking czcams.com/video/bx9Wz9kf8-o/video.html
Indeed. I miss those good ol days, they were so nostalgic

They deserve it if they fall for it lol
@@TheMisterEpic if you put a tnt under the pressure plate it would turrn into a modern version of that trap
@@TheMisterEpic I've seen a video from an smp series where an op accidentally built an iron door trap at spawn because he forgot about spawn protection and then another player without op permissions walked into it and couldn't escape at all XD
@@TheMisterEpic I was 10 Minecraft had just come out and I was on my friends server so there
@@charlestonianbuilder344 at that point you have a proper land mine that you can’t escape, although you gotta sacrifice 4 iron doors for it, and it’d be pretty easy to avoid.

Very interesting traps, but man do I wish those trapped chests looked normal... such a shame
The "idiot trap" really was an og trap that I use to see all the time but now haven't seen in almost a decade. I used to get PTSD whenever I saw a iron door because people got very creative in disguising this trap. You would think this trap would be pretty easy to spot, and most were, but some creative people were really dedicated to using this trap or at least something very similar to it.
I love that Mojang did add a trap block in the past update: the Powdered Snow. It shows that Mojang is still thinking of those people out there who enjoy setting up traps and figuring out new traps that they can add to Minecraft.
Edit: Yeah, there are actually a lot of new traps coming out so Mojang really hasn't forgotten about how the community love making traps.
Edit #2: Okay, there is a lot more Minecraft traps that I didn't think off the top of my head.
Maybe I'll make an updated video in a few months with more newer traps
they are also adding sculk sensors
Don't forget that dripstone can be used as a trap as well.
@@TheMisterEpic Don't forget end crystal traps (the instant landmine). I had a lot of fun with that :)
we could use quicksand in the upcoming one
2:30 Torches still have this "feature" you just have to place sand on top of a torch, not putting a torch underneath falling sand, this mechanic didn't change a bit. It works the same now as it did back then.
Also if I am remembering correctly, you can still place it under “falling” sand, as in you can place it under sand if you break a block and instantly place a torch before the sand actually starts falling and it will hold the sand up.
@@KontrolYT you are correct young blood
The mob proximity detectors still work too if I remember correctly
Was gomna comment this
2:41
I feel the deep dark-related blocks are going to lead to a rise in new traps once it's out
Definitely. For a slew of examples, I'd recommend Cubfan135's video titled "No Longer Safe"
Warden traps, anyone?
Yep. Sound-activated land mines are a favorite on a little SMP I'm part of. Also, for less destructive annoyances, a whole pile of shriekers under someone's base is hilarious.
7:41 I like how TheMisterEpic just yeets himself into the void and regrets it one second later
I remember when pocket edition didn't have redstone and players would make crazy huge adventure and puzzle maps that ran off of signs and torches to activate certain things
People are crazy creative, that would be a good video topic too!
Redstone alternatives was what they were called. Made a few maps myself.
@@The_Jzoli that’s super cool! Impressive
8:37 I knew Etho invented the sand signs trap, but I didn't know that Grian invented the tnt version, kinda apt now that they're both playing on Third Life

I still think it's funny that back in the day when Minecraft was first popular I would do that without knowing the internet was even a thing... bruh I still wonder where I got that from

thank you for including jerma's clip on the idiot trap. truly a reminder on how it still remains effective
just... break the block below you?
One of my favorite traps was used in a final fight during a german event called Varo.
McExpert used stacked tnt carts hidden underneath the battleground that were remotely triggered by updating a dirt block with a hoe.
It was designed to launch his enemies far enough into the air to kill them with fall damage.
Traps have really come a long way. We've gone from placing pressure plates leading to TNT on the drop in a path to things like observer traps with TNT minecarts that are usually an instakill, traps that utilize game mechanics such as bed wake-up positions, and more.
I mean, it's not surprising traps have come a long way if you consider the fact that Mojang likes to add new content to the game
Yeah, I just made a system that'll trap any barrel without using that much space haha. Using tnt minecarts so the player can't run.
@@wio1 That’s the beauty of Minecraft. More content means more ways of doing things.

The portal and bed trap is the scariest one, you wouldn't really know it's there and you would be able to escape it, anarchy server really build different
*wouldn't
sorry about that
@@NationDixon you’re*
You can actually punch obsidian to get out, it only takes about 3 minutes of holding left click.
@@potterfanz6780 You don't have three minutes when you are about to teleport yet again.
@@henke37 This might depend on your server, but in my experience you can't teleport again unless you step completely out of the portal.
Back then in MC: Pocket Edition, there's no redstone, so we have to improvise by using sand, cactus and torch. That was an old style of using redstone. I discover it when I download some maps for MCPE and find how did they do the sand trick door.
I remember playing pocket edition around 2015 and one day when I was out sick I looked up non redstone traps and spent hours trying to build the sign trap and when I finally got it to work it was one of the happiest moments of my life

Ah, a man of culture as well.
I remember the hardcore faction days like it was yesterday. We'd often make pit traps as they were the most efficient and easy to build. We'd log on with piles of loot from people attempting to grief our base
Sometimes portal traps can be escaped through relogging, however, that becomes an issue when there's a queue like 2b2t.
Funny to find a Kerbal Space Program player here.
4:44 Oh hell yeah Jerma! I’m so glad you used this glorious moment!
Although, I’m kind of sad you cut off the part where he said “I thought it would spin” after stepping into the trap.
Little additions like that make videos so much better, they add up, loved this video, also jerma is hilarious
Etho showed off the door trap in episode 2 of his let's play on December 18 2010.
Oh damn, I knew I had seen it in an earlier video!
3:27 In earlier versions of Bedrock/ Pocket Edition, this trap was used by map creators as a replacement for redstone since redstone didn't exist in that version yet.
So this vid showed up in recommended, instant subscribe from me. The feels haha, and the ptsd. Great vid :)
A modern traps list would be awesome, if you're up for that.
I remember when sand and gravel didn’t fall. I made a house out of sand. Update came and it fell when a block update happened. Also a tip to get out of traps and stuff easily. Chorus fruit. Doesn’t do damage unlike Ender pearls. Which is a big risk using a Ender pearl on low health plus it refills your hunger.
Another option is a bucket of lava, if you place it and pick it up before it flows into you, that breaks the portal blocks
@@rowanbaillie9814 that only works for one type of trap

@@spacecowboi5466 uh oh

I watched a seamless piston floor tutorial in like 2014 and I still remember how its built to this day, though I haven't built one in years
I figured out the nether trap one by myself and to this day I am so proud of that invention. In faction servers there is a way to raid by spawning a nether portal in the middle of the base. I built a nether trap near the center to defend against whoever tried it and turn the tables on them. Too bad I was later raided by a premium player that was basically in creative mode.
Trapping has recently spiked (within the last month or so), at least in the Bedrock circles I’m in. Thanks, as usual, for the great video!
:)
I remember reading an onoffical minecraft book with a tree trap that would blow up tnt when a tree was mined and one that made you fall to death when opening the door with a pressureplate.
What
@@nevermore3055 Old TNT mechanic was that once placed, hitting it would trigger it to explode, so an old trap was to replace the top log of a tree with TNT so that when someone tried cutting it down, they would hit the TNT and trigger it. OP is saying it was described in an unofficial book.
A pressure plate causing one to drop to their death is still possible by putting sand under the pressure plate, TNT under that, and a drop.
@@mystic-malevolence No I think there was redstone involved in the tree one I remember it, they had a lever on the bottom of a log which was deactivating redstone torches and when you mined the log the torches activated along with the tnt
@@mystic-malevolence that’s not it, it used a lever on the bottom part of the trunk with redstone torches connected to it so when the bottom block was broken it would activate a load of tnt around it
@@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544 Interesting, I have trouble picturing how that would work without having the bottom block half-buried, but it at least doesn't rely on a tnt mechanic removed in Beta 1.7.
Man makes me remember how better the old gravel texture was
I like both textures I wonder if they could reintegrate it? The old one As like a fine gravel for beaches? And the new one as Coarse gravel in caves?
The iron door trap was OP on creative servers when you’d have a plot and you had to allow the person to build so ghey couldn’t destroy the pressure plate or doors
IMO the best use was putting a water block and a full block above, so the player drows before they can break the pressure plate
@@thiagoandrey2897 swim and place a block above you to block off water
@@Firefly256 ?! How are you supposed to do that? Your head is in the water source block
@@DevourerDragons if you’re in water you can swim to get you from 2x1 body to 1x1 body. Similar to how crawling works using trapdoors
@@Firefly256 pretty sure you need both parts of your body under water. Besides, the moment there is the space above you to place a block, you would stand up instantly
I see that Evo footage. Man that was such a good series. Grian was an absolute terror!
You can also place cobwebs in a way that makes the head of players stuck inside of the web, pretty much making them unable to hit you back (you can either crit them out then or proceed to obitrap then). This is very common in gamemodes like gommehd skywars and players like x-sus have mastered it. It also makes for good pvp clips. The german pvp community in general hasn't forgotten trapping unlike most of the others, it's needed for knockback bedwars, hg, skywars and a lot of 1v1 modes. For me it's just a normal part of pvp, and i was kinda surprised it's not used outside of uhc in the international scene.
X-sus
When I saw the idiot trap, I immediately thought of Jerma getting caught in one. I was happy to see the clip of him being stupid.
0:46 WTF
Can you tackle how the horror element in Minecraft progressed up until 1.19, which was just announced yesterday's Minecraft Live 2021?
Interesting, I'll look into it
Don't think it'll be too scary once I blast in with tnt haha. I'm just looking for sculk sensors, need them for better traps.
I love that you used footage from Evolution smp. It was a really interesting and fun series to watch. Sadly the members abandoned the series after they updated the server to release versions
Didn't it lose a lot of steam after grian left for hermitcraft?
@@Sillimant_ yep.
Yo, this brings back a lot of memories, I remember making crazy traps back in the 360 days to protect my wolf's, and diamonds, awesome content bro, keep it up.
*Yep. As expected, those traps went from "ah, nostalgic" "that'd be cool to use" "oh, interesting" to "....some people really do be evil like that, aye".* great video.
I was waiting for an astolfo reference, nice!
Hahahaha
i think its best that we never talk about these ones lol
Nice
Yes
nice
Thanks for making videos. I always love watching them and they brighten up my day!
Glad you enjoy!
This brings me back so much mate!
This video is more solid than I thought when I clicked. Good job!
Some of the latter traps are the reason I carry Chorus Fruits no matter what.
That's a good way of escaping them actually.
One of the most recognizable traps is alt + f4. Truly a classic.
Yep, F3 + C was also great before Minecraft warned you that it would crash the game in later versions. I actually fell for the F3 + C trick once lol
@@wio1 qlp
Trapping in minecraft was one of the first things that got me into redstone, though back then we had to wait an exaggeratedly long time for lava to set off tnt in an era without redstone, so pitfalls were the go-to trap.
Also, man, I was not expecting the old tnt explosion sound for the first time in like 10 years in this video.
Made an amazing drop down piston trap that removed an entire loot room on a server my friends and I made. If you read the signs that explained the commands you'd be able to get out but if not you'd be stuck. 100% success rate so far
If only a very cool person made a redstone trap that turned any chest into a trapped chest 😳
I still remember reading those own Minecraft guide books... many of these traps appeared.
back when wild animals spawned often enough for you to catch one these were actually super useful and cool
I love the vids man, keep up the great work, and my favorite trap has to be the upside down sand pyramid trap
Yea it's a pretty interesting one
"Ah, no. Not these ones"
It hurts worse because I know who that is
I still remember the lava trap I made for the entrance to my base on some Factions server many years ago. It was a ton of fun, and super rewarding when I finally got some kills with it.
This was really informative... Thanks!
I never knew, Etho is so good at doing traps... (Especially he is currently in 3rd Life SMP)
"The art of trapping is dying"
Everyone in 3rd Life/Last Life: *uuuh*
You mean the series where almost every trap failed?
@The Yangem "almost"
@@coyraig8332 To be fair, 99% of traps in Minecraft don't work. We just usually only get to see the cool, shiny, working ones lol
@The Yangem Reread my first comment. I said "almost every trap," not "almost died."
The thumbnail filled me with SO MUCH nostalgia, holy fuck
This reminds me of all the traps from the Super Hostile series. I've haven't been the same since I played Kaizo Caverns for the first time.
That 4 door trap was the coolest thing to me back in like 2014
Me: "makes the iron door trap" "trying to puts villager"
Villager: "gets out without any problem"
Me: "wait wha-" ;-;
Your videos just keep getting better and better!
Man seeing that world with the exploding bridge in it brought so many memories back straight away, I remember the pig launcher at that same spot
0:23 Why this trap is.... SUS 😳?
We do a bit of trapping.
Thank you Jeff
Admit it you have a curse so that ever time someone makes a purchase on Amazon you loose one hair that is the real reason you are bold
Was waiting for you to bring up nooch, but this was still an amazing vid.
I remember those days making sand traps around 2011. I would do it to my friends and it was hilarious to do it to them.
"Ah no, not these ones!" 👀😏
Ah i see, you're a man of culture as well
*Epic video*
Hahaha
thank you for creating back the good old dayss of us redstone specialist minecraft players... this takes me back to when every update was so exciting due to new redstone mechanics that allow us to do interesting things... but this all stopped because of command blocks simplifying things to just some command lines and as you said mutliplayer server having some anti griefing plugins where even something small and fun is not even allowed...
really thank you for helping me remember the good old days of old minecraft mechanics we had to learn and remember by heart...
I remember when sethbling first uploaded the remote cow/mob activated trap trigger. Cool :3
"The only worse punishment than being bed trapped is willingly playing league of legends"
I've never been so offended by something I completely agree with
0:44 oh yes, astolfo
That lol joke caught me off guard. Nice one
The skulk sensor already has given me ideas for a proximity mine trap
One of my favourite traps, to this day, remains the sand pitfall. It's classic, and still works today. Even Dream used it in one of his Manhunts a while ago, and to pretty great effect iirc.
It really is the most satisfying trap!
I like do use an ore with a torch on the back as bait, and the torch falls in a pressure plate that activates a piston to break the support torch.
Yo not sure if you were aware but “trap” is actually a derogatory term used against trans women when it’s used in the context of the “joke” in the beginning, and it’s best to not use jokes like that :)
@The Yangem I appreciate you telling me more of the history of the word than I originally knew, however that still doesn’t change the fact that the word is still used in an incredibly derogatory way towards trans people to this day. As a trans man I’m not comfortable with cis people jokingly calling anyone or anything a trap, because it’s origins are inherently trans/homophobic in nature.
@The Yangem Bro what’s not clicking here? It doesn’t matter that the character or person being described as a trap is cishet, it’s still actively harmful to the trans community. Real trans people are called traps every day in a derogatory way, especially trans women. The word trap literally directly contributes to violence against trans women. Femboy or not you’re still cis and you’re speaking over the trans community. Take a step back and acknowledge that you are telling me, a trans man who experiences transphobia and is called a “reverse trap” constantly by cis gay men, that I’m wrong.
I don’t care if you use it within your own friend groups, but making jokes like the one in the video in front of potentially millions of people is crossing a huge line. More people are going to see this video and think these jokes are ok for them to make, further spreading it’s use and increasing the violence and hate against trans people.
At this point I’m done wasting my breath speaking to you. I encourage you to do more research on the word and how it affects other real trans people, read about our experiences instead of using your own little echo chamber as your only source of information.
0:40 The deadpan delivery of this line is hilarious lmao
Man I actually remember a lot of these traps. I don't think I ever actually trapped someone, but I definitely remember playing around with the torch sand pyramids
0:45 I don't know if you are aware, but the word 'trap' used in this way is considered a transphobic slur. Please do some research so you can understand why this word is offensive, and not use it like this again.
Please do some research before spreading misinformation.
Trap has and always will refer to crossdressing males in anime. Literally use the search terms "anime trap" and you'll notice that almost none of the characters actually identify as the opposite of their birth gender.
Trap being a transphobic slur is just an example of a misunderstanding getting out of hand.
Now I'm gonna go back to reading doujins and watching videos praising traps.
@@trunguss I'm literally trans you don't get to tell me what is and isn't offensive to me, either listen to trans people or shut it, never speak for us
It's not the same thing as a transgender person, no one uses it as a slur and it wouldn't make sense as one.
The "traps" joke around 0:45 is pretty transphobic :/
No it isnt, grow up, it's a joke.
yeah
that kid sceaming from herobrine made me laugh, thank you for making my day better
OMG YOU REPLIED
I remember the iron door trap from my childhood, on the PlayStation 4 version of Minecraft before it turned to bedrock, in the combat lobby, if you wondered around you would find this door that was opened with a pressure plate and I just remember falling for it and struggling for like 20 minutes until I managed to time it just right, ah the memories
Not even a minute in and there’s a “trap” joke used as a slur against trans people. Gross.
...In Magic-Gum's 'Build a Civilization'-Videos, TNT ias always used in a way that legit makes me think he should ban it from the next Experiment.
the other kind trap looking kinda sus
Hahahaha
trans woman are women?? so wouldn't a man dating a women be the exact opposite of gay??
Thanks for this video, very nostalgic.
I've never been big on PvP or griefing or the like, but trapping has always been such a fun and interesting concept to me. Putting forth the effort to set it up and the satisfaction of knowing someone fell for it
hi, I am a trans person and I would appreciate if you would stop making trap jokes as it perpetuates harmful ideas about trans people and can cause some harm, I don't think your intention was hateful or bigoted in any way but some actions can have unintended consequences especially for some groups. I do know that its just a joke but the butterfly effect is a thing.

The Iron Door trap is probably the one that is the most used even to this day, especially on faction servers since if they are in a claim you can't really get out if you don't have pearls.
3:24 oh, this hits hard! My very first trap, just that all it was was a pressure plate, sand, then tnt, in that order going down.
