Dark Utilities Traps & Damage Plates

Traps are flat blocks that apply specific effects to any living entity that steps on them. They are essential for automating mob grinders or defending a base.

Damage Plates

• Damage Plate: Deals 3 hearts of generic damage to entities.
• Maim Damage Plate: Deals non-lethal damage (0.5 hearts), reducing mobs to low health without killing them—perfect for manual XP farming.
• Player Damage Plate: Deals 3 hearts of "player-type" damage. Mobs killed by this plate will drop experience orbs and player-only rare drops (like music discs or carrots).

Status Effect Traps

These traps apply potion effects to entities for as long as they remain on the block:

• Flame Trap: Sets the entity on fire
• Slowness Trap: Applies Slowness III
• Weakness Trap: Reduces attack damage
• Poison Trap: Applies Poison effect
• Wither Trap: Applies the Wither debuff
• Levitation Trap: Causes the entity to float upwards
• Darkness/Blindness Trap: Impairs vision
• Hunger Trap: Rapidly depletes hunger bars
• Frost Trap: Causes the entity to begin freezing (as if in powdered snow)
