If your trap is larger than 2x2, you may need a Redstone Torch or Repeater to boost the signal.

Ensure you used Sticky Pistons. Regular pistons will push the block but won't pull it back.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simplest, most effective way to build a piston trap and secure your achievement.

Place one on each of the four sides of your 2x2 square.

To ensure the target can't simply jump out, place a ceiling 2 blocks above the pressure plates. This creates a "head-hitter" effect, keeping them trapped until you decide their fate. To unlock the achievement associated with the trap:

Attach a solid block (like Stone or Wood) to the face of each Sticky Piston. When the piston extends, these blocks will meet in the middle, closing the trap. Place your Pressure Plates in the 2x2 center square.

Most "Lovely Craft" style achievements trigger the moment the piston state changes while a living entity is detected on the pressure plate. 5. Troubleshooting Common Issues
