Zaynen's Bear Trap Mod
Introduce a new era of hunting and territory protection in Minecraft with this mod that adds deadly bear traps - time-tested hunting tools for catching unsuspecting creatures.
How to craft and use the trap
First, go in search of iron ore - you'll need at least 6 units to create a complete trap. Smelt the ore into ingots, and divide one ingot into 9 iron nuggets through the crafting table.
Combine three iron ingots and two nuggets on the crafting table to get one trap part. You'll need to craft three such parts. Then create a heavy weighted pressure plate from two iron ingots - and you can assemble your first bear trap!
Components:
- 3 iron ingots + 2 nuggets = trap part
- 2 trap parts + weighted plate = completed bear trap
How traps work
The bear trap exists in two states: open and closed. When active and placed, it's ready to capture any creature that carelessly steps on it.

Project development plans
The project creator shares upcoming plans for expanding trap functionality:
Camouflage and visual improvements A trap dyeing system using all 16 in-game colors is in development for maximum camouflage in various biomes. Also planned are environmental elements: grass, ferns, snow, soil, or sand to completely conceal the device.
More realistic capture mechanics The current temporary potion system will be completely reworked. Captured creatures will be able to escape traps through active actions - repeatedly pressing the crouch key. Escape attempts through jumping will cause slight damage, creating an effect of realistic struggle.
**Additional trap types A safe clamp trap will help peaceful players catch creatures without harming them. A bait system with various products will attract specific animals: carrots for rabbits, seeds for chickens, fish for ocelots.
Flexible finishing options Also being investigated is the possibility of adding potion effects - poison, instant damage of varying degrees. The system will support a controlled break percentage, and players will be able to repair damaged traps or recycle them.
Version support The mod is planned to be ported to modern Minecraft versions, including the latest updates for maximum compatibility.
