No Traps is a secret world seed introduced in the 1.4.4 update. It features greatly more traps compared to a regular world, ironic for its seed name.
The following seeds can be used to generate a "No Traps" world (case-insensitive):
-
no traps -
notraps
While generating[]

The world generation screen has a unique text “Not placing traps” instead of “Placing traps”, but will load longer than normal.
World generation changes[]
Significant amount of traps are generated anywhere in the world. This includes unique and more dangerous traps, like the Bouncy Boulder, TNT Barrels, etc.
Surface[]
- Not so many traps can be found in the surface layer. Most of them are Dart traps.
- Floating Islands spawn with dart traps or Explosives.
- One or both of the Oceans may generate with a variety of traps and Boulder piles.
Underground and Cavern[]
Almost every open area consists of a trap. This includes regular Dart traps, Boulders, Dead Man's Chest and Explosive traps. There are also unique traps introduced as of 1.4.4, including:
- Bouncy Boulders that can replace Boulders in a Boulder trap, as these will bounce around even more wildly than Rolling Cacti, similarly to a Bouncy Bomb and other bouncy throwing weapons.
- Life Crystal Boulders, which looks exactly like regular Life Crystals, but will behave the same way as boulders when mined. It will turn into a Life Crystal item when hitting an obstacle.
- TNT Barrels generate uncommonly.
- Underground Cabins will generate with Dead Man's Chests instead of Gold Chests, and will contain more traps.
- Boulders appear in groups where they will stack on top on each other, resembling a triangle.
- Statues are wired along with traps, which randomly appear to be decorative or critter/enemy spawning statues. they will also greatly increase in how many are generated in the world.
Dungeon[]
- Boulders, Bouncy boulders and explosive traps can generate inside the dungeon.
Jungle Temple[]
- TNT Barrels are most abundant inside the temple.
Underworld[]
- More Geyser traps will generate, and will do so inside Ruined Houses along with Dart traps.
Other[]
- Venom Dart traps may replace regular Dart Traps, which will inflict the Acid Venom Debuff.
World icons[]

Tips[]
- This seed is useful, albeit dangerous for wire farming and statue collection.
- Keep a Pressure Plate or any Wiring item in one's inventory while having it selected, to look out for wires connected to traps.
- Dangersense Potions are extremely useful and arguably required in this seed
