Useful Engineering

[peterpunx]

Dont know what else could i do as engineer, id like to do a list of useful things.

-Lifts
-Player detector doors
-Brewing machines
-Traps
-Auto Furnaces

Another fun one is auto farming machines. I have a design for one that you load up with bone meal, plant a single seed, and then it rapidly matures the plant and harvests it. You can grow a stack of wheat super quick. Of course large surface farms are more efficient, but this takes up less room.

Well, dont use food farms in herocraft cuz food is not expensive, and if you know any farmer, he probably would give you infinite bread, since they get souls from harvest.

-Music tones while opening doors (not useful..)

Remote sensing devices: lights up if a defined area is occupied by a player.
Anti-theft device: shoots arrows at any player other than a defined one.

lol, i was actually looking for the shoots arrows at any player other than me, good idea, but it doesnt turn them into combat, so its worse than lava for my case...

Redstone activated hidden doors. The require region perms to operate the mechanism.
I like to make 2 stage doors. The first anyone can enter but then your stuck if you don't have region perms.

Or death pit traps: in a regioned area, put a bridge over a two block deep pit. Have the bridge trigger if someone other than yourself walks in the middle of it, with the search field set to that specific height only. Bridge opens, enemy drops down two blocks, bridge reappears... enemy suffocates to death. Put hoppers linked to chests on the bottom of the pit to suck up all that tasty loot.

Yep, bad thing they can recall before dying, lava on the top block, sign on the bottom one and hoppers bellow. lava shoudnt burn most of the items.

Another thing is to make a lift up sign that transports players to a custom built pad near y=250 that then auto destructs once a player is present. Can they recall or cast a feather fall skill before they hit the ground? Fun times!

TNT with sand on top and pressure plates on top of that... That should work :3
