The system relies on a network of redstone dust, repeaters, and sticky pistons. When an entity triggers the input source, the pistons extend rapidly to shift the surrounding blocks. This movement removes the floor from beneath the target or pushes blocks to suffocate them.
Place your pressure plates or tripwire hooks at the entrance of the 2-block wide path. Connect the trigger blocks to the main redstone line using redstone torches to invert the signal. Inverting the signal keeps the pistons retracted normally and forces them to extend when the circuit breaks. Best Practices for Server Play
Deploying this trap on multiplayer servers requires a few extra considerations to remain effective. Camouflage
Run redstone dust directly behind each row of pistons. Use redstone repeaters to bridge the signal between the upper and lower rows without creating interference. Set the repeaters to a one-tick delay to ensure the trap triggers instantly when stepped on. 4. Setting the Trigger
Smart players will immediately try to mine their way out of a trap. Line the interior capture walls with Obsidian. Obsidian takes a long time to mine without a diamond or netherite pickaxe, giving you ample time to deal with the intruder. Resetting the System
