Making the Best Trap in Minecraft 

what's an elytra?

you really put on your thinking trap here, it's incredible 🤯

10/10 trap!

While they were focused on the trap inside Minecraft they didn’t even consider the trap outside of Minecraft, while they were worrying about getting that diamond block a 1 megaton nuclear bomb was falling directly onto both of their houses, ah yes the perfect trap is one you could never see coming

11:13 I'd love to note how genius the skulk shrieker there is. A skulk sensor will pick up any nearby noise and send a redstone signal. _But,_ it will only send a signal to a skulk shrieker if it detects a player made that noise. So it's impossible to set off this trap without being within range!

10:50 while parrot and rek were so focused on the trap inside Minecraft, they didn’t even consider a trap outside Minecraft. The whole time, a single seat twin engine supermaneuverable SU-35BM Flanker-E air-defense fighter was observing the 2 player’s houses irl, and was ready to initiate a strike on them. Foolish mistake for these so called “Deadliest Players”

I feel like Enderpearls would have been a safe move, but they could never suspect that an entire chunk would just be gone in the matter of seconds

Wifles... you're a lunatic. That trap was insane. I didn't even understand it at first. I had to rewatch it multiple times to even get a grasp on the logistics behind it!

Summary: the perfect trap is one that lures them into a false sense of security with a small, powerful-but-avoidable decoy. The mechanism must be sneaky enough that upon discovery they will think it's the main trap. However, there is a much larger secondary mechanism that creates a massive, inescapable trap while simultaneously rendering them unable to counter it while they otherwise could. Any remaining chances to escape are countered with the psychological effect of the trap, shocking them and slowing their reactions

madlad actually sacrificed his whole video's monetization status in order to put some banger music. respect

This guy practically engineered a Minecraft nuke

"I am gonna invite the deadliest players: Parrot and rekrap!" ClownPierce: 🗿

I love how you went on those tangeants explaining simple traps, just to end up creating an absolutely unexpected behemoth of a trap. The complexity is amazing!

I am amazed at how you could have thought of such an insane trap, the concept of kicking them before they reached the diamond block is great on its own but the execution might be the craziest thing I've seen on Minecraft, great job man

I just want to say that I think it's a very smart idea and these videos are fantastic. there's so much effort in it, and you always have such bright ideas. keep it up!🥶

Damn this is smart and ngl im very impressed, on the other hand though, shooting at it with a tnt canon would have been the best choice

This trap is so crazy and complex it made my brain hurt. A+

so impressed by the mechanism

Knowing all this and that Ivory, the best Minecraft escapist I've seen has not only beaten this trap but even used it against you just makes makes her video better.

12:18 "I'll eat a Potatochip, And!-"

I’ve always wondered why trapdoors aren’t actually “trap-doors”

You should have added a lag machine that drops their frames, so they don't even have a chance of flying out even if they had an elytra. It is a already amazing trap though, good job.

6:01 Wifies: uses spinning to signify damage. Me: Ah yes spin=death

Now that's just ridiculously clever. Awesome work! My thought was using those fancy new TNT infinibore warp drill thingies to teleport TNT right into the players from however long away you can do that from based on some instant redstone detection system, but I don't think those existed yet when this video came out. The book-crash-chunk-delete-void trick is. Cooler. Even if it could be tricked out by a clutch pearl. I don't think it'd get Etho, for instance, just because he's *always* ready to teleport free of any given situation, but a more new-school Minecrafter who can usually facetank problems with enough prep is less likely to have a stack on their bar.

I once came up with a trap that uses the act of spawning in the End to trigger a redstone torch to despawn, detonating tnt inside an obsidian box surrounding the End spawn platform. It can't be dodged, and the trigger is impossible to disable if no players are in the End at the time. Enough tnt would make survival impossible too.

The Death Note OST was so perfect for this trap. Amazing job, Wifies. Would love to see more of your genius traps.

12:40 ah yes the spinning tnt in mine carts of death

love how rek grabbed totems in both hands and was clearly shaking when the tnt exploded. great job with the traps!

Forget landmine, this trap was a straight up land-nuke Honestly appreciate the dedication for your videos, interesting how you made it knowing full well it wouldn't get monetized because of the music you used

Wifies: Says that a pit trap won't work due to Elytras Also Wifies: *Makes a trap able to be stopped via Elytra* Edit: I guess psychology would make you not bring one, but i'm operating under the assumption that the person full on KNOWS the exact trap, what happens, etc. Edit 2: Look mom I'm famous

'a warden could be outrun' supersonic shriek: 'We'll see about that'

Been watching you lately since the Warden video, this is the video that got me to subscribe _instantly_

The death note music made it even more insane than the trap it self was , you are a genius of thinking a trap which no one could have , hats off dude this video was amazing

after watching Kenadian's videos on prisons, I had a feeling that an inescapable trap would be a chunk ban tho I didn't expect the skulk trap, that was cool af. Though if a player did have fireworks, the trap would be useless imo

12:37 seeing the minecarts wobble around made me laugh

I predicted the bookban but the destruction of the entire chunk, sealing their deaths on rejoin was straight up genius! I wouldve never predicted that.

Although the trap is incredibly effective, if someone knew the exact contents of the trap beforehand or they just over thought this they’d bring an elytra and leave

The build up, the hype, the mystery towards the final trap, THE MECHANICS INVOLVED IN THE TRAP, THE TRAP ITSELF... this is one of the best scripted videos ive ever seen. Congratulations man, this video is epic

The thing is, they could have avoided the trap by just wearing an elytra

This is some next-level stuff. Kudos!

My thought is a lag machine set off by the redstone,therefore, when they rejoin it will take them seconds to actually load in, giving the void time to consume them. It's not foolproof, but it is an improvement

Wifies doesn’t go for the obvious, thinks smarter, and goes through the most unthinkable thing that would work

I have no idea how you think of this stuff, its so amazing, great video

he constructed a trap that destroys space itself just to kill his friends... That's some determination right there :)

Holy moly, never saw that coming! True work of art! O_o

Theres no words to describe this. Out of all the traps ive made over the years ive never thought of using a chunkban, yet alone all the other mechanisms that activated. I dont know how anyone could think of this, This is absolutely Awesome

1:16 You can still block clutch against buttons lol. It's quite a bit harder than against a wall of course but very much possible

Ivory turning the trap on you was feckin hilarious

You could in theory, make an artificial desert (all blocks are replaced with gravity-affected blocks), remove the bedrock and replace it with signs, assuming you lured the players to the center, as soon as some trigger happens near the center of the desert, (presumably a scull sensor) it can activate a piston which uses stone wall signals for instant red stone and use it break the sign, all of the artificial desert will fall without warning, you could also use a chunk-ban before exploding the desert’s base layer to prevent them from placing blocks, and assuming the artificial desert you made is large enough, even elytras can’t save them because the durability will run out eventually. Edit: An idea to make the trap more deadly, near the top of the artificial desert, one could fire and sandwich arrows (of harming, poison and slowness presumably), tnt minecarts (for both lethality and destroying any blocks placed before), anvils, between the first 2-5 layers, this will also make their game lag intensively compounded with the sand falling and causing lag, one could also make a faster chunk ban system that will activate 5-6 ticks after another so no opportunities present themselves, one could also make the intital chunk ban longer to prevent players placing blocks.

Also remember that the rays cast only interact with the hurt box, which is on your feet. That's why you only need to place 1 obsidian in the end to stop the beds, and why 1 deep bedrock holes are pro-strat status.

gotta say i love how he put kira and aizen theme when he was explaining his plans LOVE IT

My multi-step trapping plan 1. have a 20 block long gravel tunnel, the gravel is held up by torches and is fifteen blocks tall (do this underground), as you run by breaking the torches and your enemies shall suffocate! 2. Gravel held up by signs that can be broken by one piston, you fall 60 blocks through a virtually unclutchable tunnel. 3. The bottom of the unclutchable tunnel will be made of crafting tables that can quickly be broken by the trapper, the players will fall through one block of lava and down another ten blocks onto to hoppers and slabs to collect their gear, the setup will be similar to a mob grinder, there will also be regularly station dispensers with harming and poison potions so you can also hit them while shooting potions at them 4. if all else fails break the hoppers and let them fall into the void.

5:56 love the animation skills🤣

11:08 you had us in the first half ngl

gotta say the last thing on earth i expected was a chunk ban of some kind lmao good work

Well that was probably the most elaborate trap ever

“Yo, mind fetching that diamond block?” “Yeah, sure.” …. *”Killer Queen has already touched that chunk.”*

12:41 I like how the mincarts literally go’s crazy and starts spinning

Reply to wifies's comment since the resource quota is exhausted. The elytra is the pair of hard chitin shells on the back of a beetles carapace. Their purpose is to protect the actual wings and keep them dry while not in flight, as if the wings get wet they will be too heavy to beat. The wings also serve as steering and speed control, similar to splitting throttles on am f18 tomcat. They increase the drag of the air moved by the wings, slowing the beetle down but allowing it to steer and speed up incredibly quickly. This is also the case for wasps. It allows them to become tiny helicopters. The elytra in the game are no different. They do not "fly", but rather they allow you to glide, slowing your fall depending on how far forward you lean. They also allow for steering and aiming while gliding.

1:34 that lava is so trippy this is actually really entertaining

People often forget the point of traps. They're supposed to be surprises. The reason these 2 are so good at not getting trapped is because they primarily play on the LifeSteal smp, where traps are intended and expected at all times. (Not to mention very poorly made with an obvious escape most of the time)

6:33 Him: Disassembles the trap Also him: activates it anyways

Powder snow trap if your wonder what I am talking about, if you make a trap in a snow biomes with powder snow covering the top so they can’t see it then if they fall down which the walls will be covered by crafting tables or made so people can’t use items/blocks on them then the bottom will have a trap that has two layers of powder snow which will keep on moving and if you know honeycomb blocks, they have no actual specific items that let you break it faster and powdered snow has the same thing and if you move a block around it will reset the mining time for the block now if they get stuck inside it, it impossible to escape and it slowly kills and unlike most traps it will keep on going even if they got god apples they will still take frost damage which means it doesn’t matter if you tank, the purpose of the trap is to be inescapable and unbreakable plus it cheaper and if chunk bans is illegal on a server then this would be the best option instead

The ending had the most intimidating potato eating I’ve ever seen

There was a counter to this, it is elytra and fireworks but since nobody would suspect it would be a void trap then it is theoretically inescapable

Huh, this trap is perfect, besides the fact that elytras and pearls exist, and the fact that it gives literally so much time to react to.

wish we had a map download of this masterpiece

"You see while Parrot and Red were so focused on avoiding the trap inside minecraft, They didn't even consider the trap outside minecraft. A personal squad of FBI agents breaking in to completely destroy their houses, and any life inside it." -wifies

brilliant trap, but couldn't they still technically escape using most conventional methods? Like if rekrap had an enderpearl, he could have easily pearled into a crevice created by the large tnt. Or if one of them had gained the slowfall effect, it could have been even easier. Brilliant execution of a chunk ban leading into a massive and intricate tnt pit, would love to see a sequel.

12:50 The Death Note music REALLY works =D!!

Casual player: Watches a 10 minute red stone tutorial to make a trap to prank their friend. Wifies: Spends months making a trap to dethrone two Minecraft pros for a 13 minute video

1: get invited to the LifeSteal SMP 2: do this on there with parrot and rek 3: free content

“There’s almost nothing they can do to *avoid* it” I see what you did there

12:10 bro you became kira

You’ve GOT my subscription. This was hilarious.

While this seems inescapable, it is not inescapable enough for Ivory.

Love the concept of the video man! keep it up

to prevent using an elytra to escape this you could destroy a ring of chunks around the trap chunk, and cover the walls in buttons. to prevent using rockets to fly out maybe have something that triggers like 3 anvils per block around the ring of chunks.

If the goal is to get the diamond block, you can create a foolproof detector by placing budded pistons all around the block, then hooking them up to trigger thousands of TNT minecarts all across the area, as well as activating a beacon lag machine. The lag would be so great that no one could react to the trap, and the explosives would destroy the area. Or, you could set up a six-faced 'crash piston' from pre-1.13 to instantly crash and roll back the game once the diamond block was broken. Since the rolling back is inconsistent, make a machine to repeatedly trigger a crash. This should ensure that it is impossible to get the diamond block.

This could easily be outsmarted by telling 1 person take the bait and the other person just relaxing.

would you guess it, this same trigger has been used in 2b2t. 2b just has everything you can think in minecraft, i woudln't be surprised if you got this idea from 2b itself. you did add the entire trap itself later with the complex skulk system tho, so you did make it different from just a basic disconnect. great video :D

Just encountered your channel, and I love it. The math is on point, the trap was pretty good, and the video quality was exquisite. Just for these three factors, you can take my subscription.

Could you make a followup where you make it so even if you know this exact trap and try to disarm it, it would still get you? prob won't happen but after seeing ivory's video yk

Wifies: there is no item that can escape this trap Ma and Everyone: Eleytra with fireworks

This was an amazing trap i couldn't even think of this. Well played and thought of.

I'm so impressed by the mechanism, very rarely I have seen such an amazing video, insane trap, great job

I know exactly how to solve this trap. 1. In the 30 seconds of creative, get a diamond block. 2. Give the diamond block to Wifies

you could use calibrated sculk sensor for detecting footsteps so it only goes when you are close.(in the snapshots)

10:56 i thought that actually happened lel

There was still a couple of ways out of this even without an Elytra. Quickly throwing two pearls to trigger the trap and depart the chunk within a tick or two. Bridge with obsidian which I don't think can be exploded or converted. Use Slow Falling to float into one of the caverns.

0:20 excellent representation of what their voices sounds like lol

dude he spent his whole life on this and like i was expecting it to be so insane but a split minute... its done

This is the most incredible trap I’ve ever seen I’m impressed by your work!

6:56 well... i use youtube dark mode...

grian also made an inescapable trap, back in hermitcraft season 7 he located where a youtuber called docm had logged off, then placing an obsidian box around it, then he just hooked up a tripwire below where he'd enter the game to a ton of TNT minecarts, too much damage to survive and a player can't even move before it starts up.

I'm ngl that was extremely hype lmao, gg's

11:49 "I'll take a chip, and EAT IT!"

Of course we can except wifies to make an elaborate trap that instabans and then create a massive hole straight to bedrock all in a matter of minutes

You earned my subscribe. This video was amazing!!
