Mob Trap

Are you annoyed that you cannot seem to keep all of the annoying mobs out of your house? Have one too many creepers blown up the precious things you value most in your miserable, virtual life!!?? Well there is a solution: the mob trap. The mob trap is a narrow trench dug around your house that prevents the entrance of mobs. This is a tutorial on how to build it.

Step 1: Build Yourself A Shelter

This shelter will have to be your final size, because the mo trap will encompass your base.









Step 2: Craft A Shovel
Recommended: Stone or Better

This [SHOVEL] is recommended to have a higher durability, for, a lot of digging is required to complete this trap.








Step 3: Dig a 6 block deep pit around the perimeter of your base.

6 blocks is the recommended height because most spiders won't try and pursue you from this much of a height.







Optional Step 4: Input a ladder

If you install a ladder into your mob pit, you will be able to pick up all of the drops. =)
