Minecraft Monster Trap
In this instructable I will show you how to make a monster trap in minecraft. This will help you get monster drops more easily or you could just watch monsters BURN in the sunlight. (This may seem odd but I like seeing them catch on fire, that's why I made this in the first place) Note: I made this in Creative mode but it only works in Survival mode.
Dig (Optional) (You Can Just Follow the Pictures)
Dig a hole that is one block deep ()t doesn't matter the size) and fill with gravel. You may be able to use any material but I'm not positive.
Walls and Ceiling
Put a gravel wall around that is three blocks high. Make a glass ceiling. Cover the glass with gravel.
Add Stairs and a Sign (sign Is Optional)
Patience
Wait until night and go to sleep. (if you don't have a bed just wait out the night)
Watch Em Burn!
Remove the gravel covering the glass and watch the zombies/skeletons burn! If there is a spider or creeper that spawned inside remove a section of wall and fight it. When the zombies/skeletons burn they may drop items. if they do remove a section of wall and collect. Now repeat the process. You can do things during the day and night though! Enjoy your DIY Monster Oven!
