so basically, i was playing Minecraft Java 1.6.4 on a Superflat world and i was bored AF. i already tried making a 'mob torturing machine' but ended up overcomplicating it aand it didn't work.
so i thought why not use something that pours out lava? i mean, the only issue is for the tripwire to not catch on fire?
soo yeah. here it is. the trapdoors lead the mobs into it as they thing they're standing on a full block, and the slabs up the top (above it all) act as like making an area for said mobs to go to when it turns sunrise.
the trapdoors just above the tripwire hooks do activate, but i'm not sure whether that's necessarily beneficial or not to the whole intent of this.
for the record, here i've only tried it with skeletons, but it should also work with zombies and such.
i've tried this both with skeletons i spawned in and ones that spawned in naturally, haha
another downside i think i haven't talked about with this - is that mob drops aren't guaranteed to go into the chest/hoppers, mostly due the lava burning it all up. but you can get drops, as in the last image.
