I need help in building a hidden redstone trapdoor. I am in an SMP world in which a rule is that I cannot use any mods, hacks or cheats. Here are the design constraints:
1. Must be completely hidden from view
2. Must self-reset (e.g., nothing to replace)
3. Must be useable without the use of any tools whatsoever
4. Must be two-way, in that it can be exited as easily as it can be entered
5. Must use no more than nineteen redstone dust, 3 repeaters, one torch, and ten iron ingots
6. No sticky pistons (I haven't gotten any slime, yet, although it would be much easier with a sticky piston)
What hasn't worked: I've tried using redstone repeaters to create delays in when the block moves, but the delay mechanism ended up creating a clock or being infinitely self-powering. I need it to automatically close shortly after being opened to preserve its secrecy.
What kind of "trapdoor" are you thinking of? A single block hole in the ground or a door on a wall? Also, by "completely hidden", does that mean no visible buttons or levers?
Either way, I'm fairly sure it's not going to be possible with that few resources.
The only method I can think of is a system similar to a sliding block puzzle where you always have 1 block that's empty which allows you to move other blocks around.
However, you'd probably need a fair amount of redstone related resources to build that.
A single block hole in the ground, and it has to fit in a chimney. A visible button is OK, since the Chimney is made of cobblestone. I now have fifty redstone dust, which may be used for any purpose.
