When you are playing Minecraft on a public server, you have to watch out for other players who might try to kill you and take your stuff, especially if they have better gear than you.

What would you do if you were playing Minecraft with a friend, trying to build your base and leave people alone, but there were two other players who were constantly harassing you and trying to take your things?

That is the situation that the friends in this story were in, so over time, they built a major trap into their base. When they were ready, they lured the Minecraft bullies into the trap and sprung it, grabbing up all of their epic gear.

As someone who has played Minecraft, I find this story very satisfying. Read through for yourself and see what you think.

Bully my friend and I while playing Minecraft? I hope it was worth my revenge.

A few years ago, a friend and I decided to find a Minecraft (MC) server to play on together.

Minecraft is a lot of fun, especially when you find a good server.

After searching for awhile and joining/leaving a handful of inadequate servers, we eventually landed on a nice one with a fairly large and active community.

The server had a reset a couple weeks before we joined, so most of the server was undeveloped. As usual, we joined the game and chose a direction from the spawn to walk in order to find a suitable place to settle and set up our base.

People of all ages love this game.

After about 20 minutes, we find a good location near-enough to the rail system, but far enough away from most other players — all except Noob1 and Noob2.

N1 and N2 were definitely younger than me. I was probably older than the general demographic at 25, while they were probably closer to 15.

Why is it that some players just love being mean to others.

N1 and N2 weren’t the best builders. They were the types of players who spent most of their time begging the Admin for Mod privileges, however they both had the best armor in the game (full diamond) along with Diamond swords, and plenty of ender pearls, bow/arrows, etc. They were loaded.

They must have spent a ton of time mining before I arrived, because they spent all of their time harassing me any time I would join the server to play. They were usually logged in as it was the summer and they had nothing better to do.

At least he has some protection.

I would be out planning out my base build and they would run up, full armor with a diamond sword and kill me instantly. I was always unarmed and had an inventory filled with building blocks that I meticulously collected.

Fortunately, this server allowed players to ‘protect’ a small portion of the land based on how long they had played the game. I was able to protect a small cube of space from N1 and N2, so I could store my items. (for those of you who never played Minecraft, you drop all of your inventory when you die).

The things that some players can build in Minecrafter are just incredible.

Over the next week, my friend and I spent time slowly building up the base one small section at a time. If N1 or N2 saw me, they would run over and kill me, so a lot of building was done from inside, removing dirt and replacing it with stone.

Now, I am a perfectionist when it comes to MC builds, so I was making sure to use the perfect materials and build the fortress exactly how I wanted. N1 and N2 slowed me down heavily, but eventually I had a towering fortress overlooking their tiny dirt hut.

These bullies are persistent.

The whole thing was protected. They couldn’t break any block or open any chest, however, they could still kill me if they got inside — which happened on a few occasions. They would kill me, take all my stuff, then make fun of me after running home.

I had enough. I put the finishing touches on my fortress and closed off the top. I found out at this point that they were getting inside by throwing ender-pearls through my windows. Ender pearls allow you to teleport to where ever they land.

Why would he let them inside?

Now that they could no longer get inside, they would stand at the front gate and beg to be let in. I let them in once voluntarily and I was swiftly murdered.

I decided it was time to switch from build-mode to revenge mode.

He is literally building his revenge.

Under the front gate, I spent hours building a drop-out flooring directly in front. I wired it to a lever inside that, when pulled, would drop out the floor.

This would make whoever was unlucky enough to be standing on it fall about 30 blocks. Not enough to kill someone, but enough to significantly weaken them.

His trap has been set.

At the point I wired up arrows and a lava dispenser to attack the victim upon impact.

I made sure all of my work was inconspicuous and hidden and I waited for N1 and N2 to come to my front door to harass me.

Finally that time came, and I didn’t have to wait too long.

Draw them into the trap.

N1 stood on the trap floor, unaware of the fate that awaits him. N2 was circling the fortress looking for another entrance. All the while insults were hurled back and forth. I egged them on, dared them to try to come in, now that I knew I was ready.

I felt like Kevin McAllister in Home alone. Finally N1 and N2 grouped up at the front door.

Success!

I approached and looked at them through a small hole in the door. They gathered at the hole to look at me. We exchanged glances. I pulled the lever.

Both N1 and N2 fall into the pit. I pull the 2nd lever, triggering the arrows and lava. N1 dies. N2 logs out.

They are going to be mad that they lost all their loot.

Due to my preparedness, I thought ahead to put a hopper (item collector) under the killing floor to pick up any dropped items to prevent the lava from burning it up.

I ran down and collected my new diamond armor set and stacks of meat and ender pearls.

Show them no mercy.

N1 RAGES about his lost gear. He falls into the trap a few more times, losing even his basic gear in the process. He begged for me to return it.

After about 30 minutes, he told me to deactivate the trap so N2 could log in, then safely warp to his base (using a command that the server had installed).

They should have known he would never let them go.

I agreed. However, I never deactivated the trap.

Cue diabolical music as I collected my winnings.

That’s the thing with online bullies. They deserve whatever revenge you can give them and you don’t need to feel bad at all.

The revenge was well thought out.

Minecraft revenge is the best revenge. Nobody gets hurt and it can be so satisfying.
