If you want to build traps with lava in Minecraft, you know the problem of the loud “bubbling”. This makes it hard to hide the traps. But with strings, you can turn off the sound of lava.
What is it about? A player shows in the Minecraft community on reddit that you can turn off the lava sounds in the game with a trick. All you need for this is strings.
This allows you to easily hide traps with lava because you no longer hear the typical bubbling of the red substance. Players are thanking for the tip and immediately sharing great ideas on how to implement it.
Lava makes no more sounds, players celebrate it
This is how the trick works: His video on reddit states user Henry1691 “Today I learned that lava doesn’t make sounds anymore when you place strings over it”. In the video itself, you can see how the user fills a 3×3 block area with lava. Immediately you can hear the bubbling and the hissing that usually occurs with lava.
Then he reveals his trick and places strings directly above the lava. And immediately the red, hot substance stops making sounds. Once the strings are removed, the bubbling and hissing resumes.
Here we embed the video of the trick for you:
You can use this for traps: If you are building traps with lava and want to surprise your teammates, then you have a nasty method with this. Many players rely on the sounds of lava and will surely be surprised when they are gone and have to rely only on visual cues.
This is how players react: In the comments, players quickly share their ideas that they have now come up with for traps through the new trick.
- “Congratulations, you have developed a new death trap,” writes Resident_Divide9837
- Player bjaydubya continues the idea and writes: “It would be super easy to place carpets on the strings and then set up a piston setup that destroys all strings (and carpets) upon an event”
With a small mechanism, you can now use nasty, surprising lava traps. In patch 1.18 of Minecraft, you can even look through lava.
