The trap is constructed to protect your chests from nosy people...and can also be used for playing various pranks on people.
What you need:
- Basic tools (shovel, pickaxe, water bucket, torch)
- 25 flowers (of the old kind, haven't tested the new ones yet)
- 25 dirt
- 25 sand/gravel (sand works best IMO)
- 25 hoppers
- 1 chest
What you do (step by step):
1. Dig a 5x5 hole about 30 blocks deep (you have to dig out a total of 750 blocks, measure your own patience level accordingly). Level terrain, like in a desert, is ideal.
2. At the bottom of the hole, place one hopper facing into the wall in any corner, and place the other hoppers facing that hopper (it doesn't matter much, the idea is to preserve any items they managed to snatch from the chest before dying).
3. Use water bucket to get up from the big hole.
4. Once on top, take out your dirt and make a 5x5 platform 2 blocks lower than the surface (it's really easy to see the logic, first dirt platform, then flower platform, then sand platform. The sand must be level with the surface, so build accordingly).
5. Place flowers all over the dirt platform.
6. Cover the flower platform with sand, then dig out on one of the sides, so you can get to the surface.
7. Place the chest in the middle of your trap. Fill it with items of your choice.
8. Dig down one block on the hole you dug out to get to the surface. Remove the dirt (NOT the flowers!) and the sand will not fall.
9. Now, be careful, because as you are covering up the trap, don't fill in the block next to the trap, because it will count as a block update and the sand will fall.
10. Build a house, but be careful not to build on top of or next to the sand blocks. Do not touch the chest either.
11. Your trap is complete!
Here's how it works! Cheers!
