Creation

Basket traps are made with an ordinary reed chest and a stick in the crafting grid.

Ingredients	Crafting Recipe
1x Reed chest 1x Stick

Usage

Place a basket trap and rightclick with a food item to serve as bait. When a creature gets caught in the trap, it will look like an upside-down Reed chest and it will wiggle occasionally. Rightclick to pick up the full trap into a vacant backpack slot (not inside a backpack). Rightclick on the ground to release the captive creature. The trap is now a normal Reed Chest again, and can become a basket trap by re-combining with a stick.

Notes

• A trapped creature has only around a day to live inside a trap. Check traps at least daily to avoid letting a trapped creature die before you can relocate it.
• Apparently a trap can be triggered without a creature getting caught inside. The sound of the trap activating is fairly quiet.
