    Messing around in the new snapshot, I found trip wires. A new type of pressure plate. It has the same function, activating red stone, how ever one must pass through the wire to activate, rather then stand on. Clever, but dangerous. One could hook up hidden traps and secrets. If you walked across it could easily shoot arrows from abroad. A surprise, as you can't see the wire until a block away.

    Despite this fact, they can be used for cool use too. I can set one up do when someone walks in my town, a song could play, or lights could come on. It could be used to allert when someone walks in your home, or chest chamber. A new security system???

    Opinions? Should they/ WILL they be allowed????

    Ya, I want to set up a wire system, so when someone breaks into my house I will see next time I log in. I think a lot of people will do the same,

    What could they even use as traps? Unless they donated for EXTCreations+, there's nothing they can do.

    -.-

    Hmmmm. I can see people doing that. I mostly fly though so I don't have to worry about it. Still, maybe it could be a donation thing. Like extcreations or something. We cant just have traps around like this, but they can be used for something positive, rather than negative.

    I see both sides of the arguement here.

    Some people will ruin it by making stupid nether traps where if you hit a trip wire tnt primes and falls on you. Or where if you trip it a dispenser shoot flaming arrows at you.

    But let's not forget all the pros.
    First of all they would be a great griefer trap. You could have a tripwire where your door would be. They will walk in and either have a alarm go off scaring them away or they can release a trapdoor killing the bloody son of a #%$^$, (Sorry about that, hate city griefers. And you can make it so when you walk in the city music plays or redstone come on or even have a dispenser give them a gift.

    All in all, I really want these. Though only for extcommads(or creations I can't tell them apart).

    It would be a griefer trap!!! I think it will be allowed, because you can do so much! I'm going to put one at the entrance of my town, so lights will light up when someone walks in! They won't know about until it's too late.
