Simply Traps FAQ

Start with stakes or wall stakes—they require basic materials you can gather early game. Check the Crafting Recipes section on the wiki for exact ingredient layouts, then place them on the ground or against walls to begin your defense.

Stakes are placed on the ground and damage mobs that walk over them, while wall stakes mount on vertical surfaces and damage mobs that touch them. Use wall stakes to create barriers along corridors or around structures.

Slime traps apply a slowness effect to mobs that step on them, making them useful for controlling movement and buying time rather than dealing direct damage. Combine them with other traps like spikes to create effective grinding setups.

Circular barbed wire functions on land; check your specific trap type's placement rules in the guides, as water interaction varies by trap design. Test placement in your world to confirm behavior.

Simply break the trap block with your tool of choice, just like breaking any other block. The trap will drop as an item you can pick up and reuse.

Layer traps by function: use slime traps to slow mobs, then funnel them into spike trap corridors or stake lines for damage. The guides on perimeter defense and spike corridors show effective combinations.

Traps deal damage to most mobs, but boss-level entities may have resistance or special mechanics—test against the specific mob you're defending against. Standard hostile mobs take full trap damage.
