Target Audience: New players
Goal: Unlock the hidden "Piston Prodigy" / "Trap Master" achievement (community-named "Lovely Craft")
Game Version: 1.20+ (Java & Bedrock compatible)

If the achievement does not pop, check your game settings. Achievements are typically disabled if you have enabled "Creative Mode" or used certain "Cheats" in that specific world. Ensure you are playing in Survival Mode with a clean save file. Additionally, make sure the piston actually makes contact with the mob or changes its movement path, as simply firing a piston near a mob may not count. lovely craft piston trap achievement guide new

Step 1: Dig the Trench

Dig a 5-block long, 2-block wide, and 2-block deep trench. Lure a Passive Mob: Find a "Chocolate Bunny"

Step-by-step

1. Choose a 3×3 area and dig a 1-block-deep hole in the center row to hide mechanisms.
2. Place the activation (pressure plate or tripwire) on the trigger block or pathway.
3. Behind/under the trigger, place redstone dust leading to a redstone torch inverted circuit to create a short delay.
4. Arrange two sticky pistons facing the center so they extend inward to push blocks or crush into the trigger space.
5. Cover the trap with slabs/stairs or decorative blocks so it looks natural; leave the trigger exposed or subtly accessible.
6. Test with a minecart or dropped mob to confirm timing; adjust redstone delay so pistons fire after the target is above the trap.
7. Add hopper + chest beneath to collect items if using for mobs.

🧠 Pro Tips

• Use a chicken or pig first – they are harmless and easy to push.
• For multiplayer: Push a friend into a shallow pit (2 deep) for a non-lethal trap – still counts in some versions.
• Camouflage: Cover the redstone with green or gray carpet to hide the trap.
