Hide a trapdoor floor that drops guests into a pool, then snaps shut again.

A friendly lobby. A cosy rug. One button press later, your guest is swimming. Welcome to the Splash Floor.

What you’ll build

Build a friendly lobby with a hidden pool under a patch of trapdoor floor. Wire the trapdoors through secret tunnels to a button nobody will spot. Welcome your guest in, press… SPLASH! The floor then snaps shut on its own.

Finish line: Your lobby floor drops guests into a pool on a secret button, then snaps shut ready for the next one.

Bonus challenge: Swap the button for a pressure plate in the middle of the trap. Now guests spring it themselves. Does anyone dodge it?

You’ll need

  • Trapdoors
  • Repeaters
  • Redstone dust
  • Buttons
  • Water bucket
  • A ladder

You choose

  • My lobby's fake name
  • Where the secret button hides
  • Stone button (quick drop) or wooden (long drop)

Stuck?

  • Trapdoors not flush? Place them in the top half of the gap so they look like floor tiles.
  • A trapdoor won't drop? Its repeater must point into the block right beside it.
  • Add a ladder so your soggy guest can climb out of the pool.
