Hey, after the 1.1 patch, i started thinking of building things.

Not just things, epic things.

Welll....So my first idea was a light switch, but thats so unoriginal XD

So then i played around with pressure plates and i made an epic mob trap:

The Epic Mob Trap


The water at the bottom is to force slimes into the lower trap, while the middle platform is for you to stand in.

Each of the traps only work to trap one enemy, with the exception of the bottom one, to trap slimes and walking enemies an unlimited amount of times.

The pressure plates in the middle closes the door without opening it while the beams outside force the door to open inwards.

Its a great idea, though not entirely foolproof!

Then I got this idea from someone else - i added pressure plates and a boulder and i made the first (I think?) REPEATER!

The "Repeater"


The boulder turns on one 1 second timer at a time by pressing the plates (I love how they do that!) and those timers alternate the switches, which in turn make a minecraft-like alternating effect. You gotta see it to actually see how it works!

This can be used to power a number of things:

Down/Up elevators (Very, VERY tideous to make, and you have to grapple to use the up "elevator")

"Moving" Torches! (The torches alternate from right to left, making it look like the light is moving)

A Platform that "Moves"! (Like the torches, but with inactive stone blocks)

Thats all!
Thats all the ideas i have for now - Im contemplating if i should release my world map somewhere xD

Im working on a rube goldberg but i guess i'll be bored to death before i can finish it :P

Bai people!
