Tutorial: Hypno's Minecraft 1.9 Gravity Trap Mob Tower

In this video I'll show you how to build the gravity mob tower I designed. This is very high efficency and kills endermen as well! I wouldn't recommend building this in 1.8 because endermen will grief the tower. In 1.9 endermen have been changed so they only move dirt/sand/gravel/etc.

Seems like a decent drowner. Why even have the fall if everything is just gonna drown at the end?

[hypnotizd]

@J0hnnyH3mps33d you absolutely could make it a drowner if you so choose to. The original design was to make the tower endermen friendly. Endermen teleport when they touch water so that is the reason for the shifting floor. Since Minecraft 1.0, endermen have too much health to die from gravity in this fall trap.

[iComplementU]

Does this one work in 1.1?

[hypnotizd]

@iComplementU Sort of. In the state that the video is shown, endermen survive because of their extra health. If you made the floors two tall then it will work perfectly.

Hi man, I create this trap on my server (survival mode), and the spawner give me only two skeleton, i dont know why dont spawning the mobs into the dark room :S Can u help me?

[hypnotizd]

@Muky19 You need to light up caves to prevent mobs from spawning in them and to force them to spawn in the tower.

[MrShine602]

mobs will not spawn in room. all caves and dungons destroyed and lit up. still wont spawn 1.1

[TheOnlyHooD]

Would this work in the new snapshot where the mobs have better Ai? (12w08a)

[Kolimew]

But it's AMAZING you get like lots of stuff from it!

[Kolimew]

Endermens dosn't die in my one :(

[TechMan676]

what is the height?

[TheShorty0ne]

the materials seems perfect for me...never play on desert so i can go and fuck it up to build one of this :P

[Calcearius]

It appears this doesn't work in the new snapshot (12w07b) the fence posts are not being moved by the pistons :( hopefully it works in the full 1.2 update.... Im gonna try a fix for just now and if it doesn't work in 1.2 then I can apply my fix

[TheMrLegolord]

Omg great help, you told exactly how it is done! It works AMAZINGLY and I built it on survival singleplayer without mods! It was so cheap considering other traps!

[FaurionWolf]

Wonderful tutorial and an amazing mob spawner! It's probably the best I've built so far! Takes quite a lot of time and materials, but it's really worth it. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.

[maadams09]

it works in 1.1
