Better Spikes
A mod for Minecraft Better than Adventure v7.2_01 that changes the spike trap to behave more like modern Minecraft's magma block.
Changes:
-Any entity standing stationary on a spike trap will now continue to take damage.
-Crouching on a spike trap (once you are no longer stuck on it) will negate all damage
These changes make the spike trap much more reliable for mob farms.
