How to Make a Simple Trap in Minecraft - TNT Trap

Ever wanted to prank your friends or strangers you don't even know? Just wanted to see reaction or for the fun? This will tell you how to make the simplest trap in Minecraft.

1. Obtain four sand blocks and 5 gunpowder to make some TNT.
- To obtain sand blocks, beaches and deserts are the main source for it.
- To obtain gunpowder, kill a creeper (don't let it explode), ghast, or find some in chests, usually found in dungeons.

2. Get two stone blocks. You get stone by mining cobblestone and smelting it in a furnace to produce some stone. Craft a stone pressure plate by placing two stone blocks next to each other in the crafting space in your inventory or a crafting table.

3. Place the block of TNT anywhere.

4. Place the pressure plate directly on top of the TNT block that you placed. Then when anyone steps on the pressure plate it will explode.

5. Try experimenting. There are lots of different ways to customize simple traps. Make sure to clean up the mess you might have caused experimenting or else it would seem to obvious what was going to happen to the victim!
- Get a block of gravel or sand and put it in between the TNT and pressure plate. Don't have a sign next to the pressure plate reading, "Press for diamonds!!" It's not recommended. Only a noob would fall for that dumb trick.
