This guide will help. Maybe look at the trap tag? Anyways, for original ideas, maybe have something like a moving poison fog or lava that activates when a player enters a certain hallway. There’s also a poison fog guide link here if you need it. Or you could add some vines that grab you when you come close. Or just go with the classic poison darts and giant boulder trap.

Okay, I see where you’re going with this, thanks for the idea!

OH!
I remember I saw a guide that explained if you place a barrier at one angle, and another one at another angle, you can trap the player there (where they will have to click a respawn button to get out).
I can’t find the guide at the moment though…
This should be about the right angles (I tested it)
EDIT: YES! That one! Thanks TwiceOnce! =D

Oh yeah the one by Merkcq (wonder where he is), here’s the full guide if you need it (it’s at the bottom of the list, Softlock Slope Jump)
Edit: =D

My first idea was to just have a button in the middle of nowhere (or just half way through the map) where if you press it, you get soft locked or just instantly respawn at the start of the map. Annoying but a good trap

You could put a camera view and then if they jump out of it then they get put in a soft lock. Idk

I can help you in infinite ways.
Just tell me the type of trap you want, and I’ll give it to ya.
Wouldn’t this context be sufficient enough?
I’d assume what they mean by “Basic Trap” would be to make something simplistic- easy to build, if you will.

Yes, that’s what I mean.

When I made this guide I wasn’t thinking about a trap but I guess it could work 
.
I hope it’s good!

make a tube out of barriers and attach a teleporter at the top and one at the bottom
Have the teleporter at the bottom of the tube teleport you to the top. Have a counter counting how many times the player has teleported then after a set number have the bottom teleporter teleport you back or not

Trap for at the end of the game: A long twisting slope drop that has multiple exits with some bait jumps that instantly k!1l/reset the player to the start, some lead to paths with dead ends/more traps, and 1 or no actual escape back to the top (beyond a trap restarting you). Falling all the way down (40-60 tiles/blocks) ends the game.
This is basically just an escapable trap that can lead to more traps.
(Or, if you want to be evil with this one, make it so the paths you can jump to are random, so every new game you have no idea which is the one to jump through)

You could make something like the Fortnite spike trap

Like a deathrun trap.
-
you’re in a box that slowly damages you.
-
You are in a room where two sentrys fire at you and knock you around the room
-
You watch a timer slowly tick through a view point while a damager damages you every 5 seconds
-
Your stuck in spectator mode until your enemy frees you
-
The player is in a room made of dynamic rubies and the player only has a common pickaxe
-
the player is in a prison that only they can unlock but the key is given to another player but the prison has item decay and items decay in 1 second

Random idea: if you’v seen home alone, you should def do the paint bucket trap or something similar
