Core redstone components and roles

  • Pistons (regular for pushing blocks; sticky for moving blocks back-and-forth).
  • Redstone dust to carry signal.
  • Repeaters to extend signal and add delay.
  • Comparators if you need item detection from chests/hoppers.
  • Observers for rapid edge-detection and compact designs.
  • Slime or honey blocks for moving multiple blocks/entities together.
  • Trapdoors, fences, and slabs to shape entity movement.
  • Blocks that don’t stick to slime (e.g., obsidian, furnaces) to control which blocks move.

1. The Sand Cannon (Piston + Gravity Block)

  • Place a sticky piston facing upward, with a sand block on top.
  • Place a tripwire 2 blocks above the sand.
  • When a mob trips the wire, piston retracts → sand falls onto the mob.
  • Result: Suffocation damage without a pit.

How to Know You’ve Earned the Achievement

The notification will pop up immediately upon successful trap activation, not when you build it. The game checks for: Pistons (regular for pushing blocks; sticky for moving

  1. A piston changed state (extended or retracted) in the last 2 seconds.
  2. A living entity (mob or villager) took damage or changed location unexpectedly due to that piston.
  3. The player was within 16 blocks of the event.

If you see a green checkmark in your advancement menu under “Redstone” or “Engineering,” you’re done.

💡 Pro tip for new players: Even a tiny piston that pushes a block into a mob’s path, causing it to fall 1 block and take fall damage, counts. You don’t need a killing machine—just a clever nudge.
