Identify Traps and Hazards Instantly

Recognize Trapped Chests and Tripwires

The pack adds clear visual outlines around trapped chests and tripwires, making them impossible to miss. Instead of accidentally triggering a trap, you'll see the danger before you interact.

What gets outlined:

  • Tripwires (the thin strings that trigger redstone)
  • Trapped chests (chests connected to redstone traps)
  • Cobwebs (highlighted so you don't get stuck unexpectedly)
  • Powder snow (outlined to prevent accidental suffocation)

Practical Safety

When exploring dungeons, mineshafts, or player-built structures, look for these bright borders before opening chests or walking through corridors. The outlines are designed to be obvious without breaking immersion.

Combine with Reduced Particles

With explosion and fire particles removed, you'll also see trap damage more clearly if one does trigger. This helps you react faster and escape.

Underground Navigation

In caves and mines, these outlines serve double duty: they warn you of hazards while also helping you navigate complex terrain more safely. Cobwebs especially become navigation markers rather than vision blockers.
