Lovely Craft Piston Trap 3.0

Unlike the 2.0, which dropped victims onto sharp spikes (killing them instantly and destroying loot), the 3.0 defaults to a landing zone. This means you can trap players alive or capture rare mobs for your zoo.

Timing is everything. The 3.0 version uses redstone repeaters to create a delayed second activation. After the initial piston extension traps the target, repeaters trigger a second wave of pistons (placed one block higher) that push additional blocks inward, crushing the target or ensuring they cannot escape. This "double crush" mechanism is what elevates the design to version 3.0 status. lovely craft piston trap 3.0
