Hello, today a discovery of a floor trap that can be very effective at stopping non base members from wandering your halls. Let me just say that I take no responsibility for any losses people may incur from the creation or use of what the following may suggest.
First thing is to place a mud block on a hopper because when this trap claims a victim there will be a collection system for possible items that could drop. On the mud place a berry bush and then place a cushion on the same block the bush is on and then place another cushion on top of the bush by using shift click. When the bush grows or you can bonemeal it place a third cushion on the top of the bush, this will be the exact height of your floor.
This is the core of the idea. Since we play on a server that lets us claim land which protects our bases from being torn down this means they cannot break the cushions when they fall in, which they will fall in. You see, because there is no actual block the people will fall through the cushion and lower into the berry bush, which does not hurt them until they try to walk. The trick here is that when they duck to try and break the berry bush, *thinking they might be able to break that*, they will instead discover that they cannot see the bush, only the cushion. They have no option but to move to find a way out because they cannot break the cushion. *they could use rockets to boost out* SHHH!!
Here i put a couple examples of how your floor can fool them into thinking it is a safe floor to walk on, until it isn't. This build idea can go anywhere. There could be certain floor sections that are safe and only you know which ones they are. Endless security for you and your precious items.
This could bring a new meaning to the floor is lava. Signs are another excellent way to hold up cushions but let the players fall through, huge potential.
One other thing I noticed while playing in the Dappled Forest in creative is the fact that the brown grass is not brown when you hold it in your hand even though I am in the proper biome. It kept throwing me off wondering why I was seeing green.
Hope this helps, have fun out there.
