Block Environment Lootable Craftable Notes
Active Stone BlockActive Stone Block Underground, Cavern ✔️ ✔️ Turned into Inactive Stone Blocks when triggered. In the world this typically drops a Boulder from above which deals heavy damage and rolls until it hits an obstacle.
Inactive Stone BlockInactive Stone Block Underground, Cavern ✔️ ✔️ Blocks will not naturally generate as Inactive Stone Blocks, but can be looted from the environment if their trap is triggered by the player. Unlike most blocks, Inactive Stone Blocks are background objects. They cannot be placed onto each other unless the player first places them as Active Stone Blocks and then deactivates them. Triggering them reverts them into Active Stone Blocks.
ExplosivesExplosives Traps ✔️ ✔️ Explosives are the rarest form of trap. Prior to 1.2 an enemy would typically detonate it before the player; however in newer versions enemies can no longer trigger world-generated traps. Explosives may be found wired to Pressure Plates or Detonators. In the latter case, they will often be found in the center of unusually large ore veins. Triggered explosives destroy blocks and deal extreme damage in a large radius, similar to Dynamite. Players caught in the blast will almost always be instantly killed.
Land MineLand Mine Traps Land Mines are unique Hardmode, post-Plantera placeable items. They remain dormant once placed, until a character touches them or they are activated by Wire, at which point they explode, dealing 250 damage. They are purchased from the Demolitionist for 5 GC each, after Plantera and at least one Pirate Invasion have been defeated.
Dart TrapDart Trap Underground, Cavern, Dungeon ✔️ Dart Traps shoot a dart when triggered which is unaffected by gravity. The dart pierces all targets until it hits a wall. It deals moderate damage, which is doubled against players. It also inflicts the Poisoned debuff.
Venom Dart TrapVenom Dart Trap(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Traps ✔️ The Venom Dart Trap can be considered a direct upgrade to the regular Dart Trap, as it functions identically but deals more damage. It also inflicts the Acid Venom debuff instead of Poisoned, albeit only for half the duration of the regular Dart Trap.
Super Dart TrapSuper Dart Trap Lihzahrd Temple ✔️ Super Dart Traps function identically to regular Dart Traps but deal much more damage.

Spiky Ball TrapSpiky Ball Trap Lihzahrd Temple ✔️ Throws a bouncing, spiky ball when triggered. These balls bounce randomly for a moderate duration before disappearing, dealing heavy damage to anything they touch.
