With friends that you know and get along with well enough it's fine to do that sort of thing as long as there is a mutual understanding that it's acceptable. I do it a lot!
One thing I've seen done is to place huge amounts of TNT one block under the town or settlement your friend has built. Wire it all to a very unassuming button on a wall or something and let them press it. It adds so much more irony when they instigate their own death than when you kill them actively.
Also, when the explosion starts or if some other hazard threatens you you can tell your friends to hide in a "panic room" you've secretly made underground that is lined with obsidian. Leave the door frame clear until your friend(s) are inside and block them in with two more blocks of obsidian and hope none of them have diamond picks. To add insult to injury you can leave a chest in there with all but one component needed for a diamond pick so they are amusingly close to escape but are still stuck.

Cast aside your festive doylaks: dragon stuff is about to happen.
Multiplayer is lonely once you understand how it actually works.
