In Minecraft PVP worlds, or even in a regular world, traps are a great asset. Whether it’s just to protect a home or location or to offensively attack an opposing player, traps are a good way to take someone by surprise and get an advantage. There are lots of different kinds of traps to make in Minecraft. Unfortunately, there aren’t any pre-set traps in the game. There are, however, lots of creative ways to build them anyway.
Building traps can range from easy to hard, depending on how in-depth and dangerous they need to be. Here are a few ways to make good, simple traps for a Minecraft world

5) Gravel/sand trap
There is an annoying quality found in both sand and gravel. Without a solid block under them, they fall to the ground. Setting up either a tripwire or pressure plate connected to a sticky piston to remove the solid block and unleash a stream of sand or gravel can cause the player to drown. Make sure there’s a lot of sand or gravel, so that they can’t break their way out. It may also help to have a couple of rows of it so there’s really no escape.
4) TNT
Much like the bottom of a desert temple, this is a simple and good trap. Simply place pressure plates on top of sand that are on top of several blocks of TNT. Once they hit the pressure plate, there’s no surviving without water.
