    Hmm. Not quite sure how it works - could you shoot a short video of it?

    Do the enemies have to walk into it? Where is the trampoline?

    well sorry, i dont have a recording system/app, well, you see the 3 bridges? , the trampoline is IN them, its invisible,and when a enemy breaks into it, the trampoline make them bounce very fast killing them, you have to add something more on it, so they go throught and not over it.

    I like hiding objects inside upside-down platforms, as it's impossible to pick them back up without destroying the platforms (and often the item in the process).

    Only problem is, you can still turn the trampoline on/off through said platforms. Enemies can interact with your trampolines, so after they die to it one time, they'll just turn it off.

    edit: you can build it with stone so its fireproof, anyway, thats the cheap way

    The biggest problem is that, no matter how elaborate you make a trampoline trap, an enemy can just turn it off. There's no way to build around that fact, it's just how it is.

    And you can turn it right back on. I doubt enemies would be able to pick it up in this trap as it is stuck in other blocks, and chances are many noobs who get stuck in it won't figure it out in time.

    I'm not sure how exactly this works, and trampoline traps are usually fairly unreliable and a hassle to set up, but they look cool and are hilarious. This one looks like one of the more viable ones, actually (made out of stone).

    well you can try building it, anyway, i "accidentally" made a way so corpses get destroyed, so anyone will note someone died there, and #DragonShark i will, im not good at building , when a CTF starts im just going around or building workshops only because i dont have to much ideas.
