The spike is simply put, a trap which is ment to kill mobs.
How is it used?
The spike would be used by digging a hole or a trench and placing a spike at the bottom, when the player/mob falls into a hole (assuming the hole was deep enough) would kill the player/mob instantly.
Example:
Damage
I'm thinking that each block that the mob/player falls would do three and a half damage, which would include the block level in which the spike was at.
Example:
You dig down three blocks and place the spike, then you fall into it, since it was three spaces down and each square is equivelent to three and a half hearts, you die instantly.
How it's crafted
(Obviously the actual spike would look different)
This could also be made out of other things like gold, cobblestone, diamond, and iron.
Support!
I'm not currently able to make a banner right now but if anyone is willing to make one I'd appreciate it.
It would create another use for flint, but I would like to see this idea expanded. Personally, I'm a fan of Peronix's spikes mod wich uses iron spikes that can be turned on/off with redstone.
Perhaps the simple stick/flint spikes would always stay extended and inflict less damage than iron spikes which could also be triggered/retracted with the use of redstone.
It has been suggested before, but wouldn’t mind it becoming implemented.
Granted, there are cacti already in the game, but they need to be placed on sand and can’t grow close to each other.
It’s also been suggested the creation of spears, and that combining several spears create a block that can be placed on walls or on the floor.

spikes probably should cause static damage, walking past them doesn't hurt. They should increase fall damage, the farther you fall the more damage they inflict so you cant have a one meter pit of instant doom. They could also inflict damage themselves while moving, such as when attached onto a piston

A pain yes, but still collectable.
